Acceptable use policy

1. What you must not do

Do not use a code of QR Code for Business to:

• send people to phishing pages, scams, or pages that ask for passwords or payment data under a false name;
• send people to malware or to unwanted software;
• show content that is illegal in the Netherlands or in the country of the people who scan the code;
• use the name or the brand of a different person or company without permission;
• send spam, or hide the real destination of a link.

[Owner decision needed: the full list of prohibited content.]

2. How we check

We send each destination link of a dynamic code, and the web address of a vCard, to Google Web Risk when you set it. When Google Web Risk marks the link as unsafe, we refuse it at creation and at a change. While the code is active, we check the destination link again about once each day. When the result of this check is unsafe, the system blocks the code automatically and sends you an email.

We also read the reports that people send with the report form. We can block a code after a report. Support then tells you by email.

3. What a block does

The short link of a blocked code shows a notice page and does not open the destination. You cannot change or delete a blocked code. We keep the blocked code and its file as evidence.

[Owner decision needed: the retention period of blocked codes and their files.]

If you think that a block is a mistake, send an email to support@qrcodeforbusiness.com. We check the code again. We can remove the block.

4. Report a code

If a QR code of QR Code for Business opens harmful content, use the report form. You can also send an email tosupport@qrcodeforbusiness.com.
