Acceptable Use Policy
Rules for safe use of shortened links and QR codes.
Last updated: 2026-06-23
ShortURL is intended for shortening lawful URLs that you have the right to share and distribute as QR codes.
You may not use the service for phishing, malware, spam, impersonation, fraud, illegal content, copyright infringement, privacy violations, harassment, or harmful content distribution.
Multi-step redirects used to hide a final destination, harmful redirect chains, ad policy evasion, tracking evasion, block evasion, and bulk automated creation that harms service trust are prohibited.
When abuse is suspected or reported, shortened links, custom codes, stats access, or account features may be limited or removed.
Policy decisions may consider report context, destination URLs, repeated patterns, security risk, applicable law, and platform policies.
