Shortlynks provides short links, link-in-bio pages and QR codes. To keep the service safe for everyone, you may not use Shortlynks to link to, promote or distribute:
- Phishing pages, fake login or "verify your account" pages, or anything that collects passwords, payment details or crypto wallet seed phrases under false pretences.
- Malware, viruses, unwanted software, or direct links to executable files.
- Scams, fake giveaways, "get rich quick" schemes, investment fraud, or misleading financial promises.
- Spam: links sent in bulk, unsolicited messages, comment spam, or automated link creation.
- Adult, sexual or escort/hookup content, illegal gambling, or content involving minors in any harmful way.
- Content that is illegal, infringes copyright or trademarks, or impersonates another person or brand.
- Links that hide their destination by chaining through other URL shorteners or redirect services.
- Cloaking: showing different destinations to reviewers or security scanners than to real visitors.
How we enforce this
- New accounts must verify their email address, and new links can be held for manual review.
- Destinations are checked against phishing and malware blocklists. Blocked links are refused.
- We may disable any link, and suspend or delete any account, that breaks this policy, without notice.
