Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: 21 October 2026 · Draft pending legal review
People who scan a QR code can't see where it leads until they arrive. That trust is what makes Scansational useful, so we protect it firmly. You must not use Scansational QR codes, short links or hosted pages to create, host or send people to:
- Phishing or credential-harvesting pages, or anything that impersonates another brand, organization or person.
- Malware, spyware or any download intended to harm or take control of a device.
- Scams, fraudulent offers, or redirects that disguise or misrepresent the real destination.
- Content that is illegal, or that facilitates illegal activity, under the laws that apply to Scansational or to the person scanning.
- Child sexual abuse material, which we report to the relevant authorities without exception.
- Content that infringes someone else's intellectual property or privacy rights.
- Attempts to probe, overload, scrape or otherwise misuse the Scansational platform itself.
Dynamic QR destinations are checked automatically against malicious URL lists and structural rules when they are created and whenever they change, and anyone can report a QR code. Codes that break this policy are suspended, and serious or repeated violations lead to account suspension. This policy exists to protect the people scanning your codes; legitimate use is not affected by it.
