Terms of Service
Last updated: May 15, 2026
These terms govern your use of Linkr, an app by Gentle Motion ("we", "our", or "us"). By using the app, you agree to these terms.
What Linkr Does
Linkr is a QR code maker and scanner. It helps you:
- Create QR codes for URLs, contact information, Wi-Fi credentials, and other common formats
- Customize the visual design of your QR codes
- Use editable QR codes whose destination can be changed after the code is printed or shared
- Scan QR codes with your device's camera
- Save, organize, and access your QR codes across your devices when signed in
Account Required
Linkr requires you to sign in with a Google account so your QR codes can be associated with you. You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for activity that happens under your account. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use Linkr.
Scanning Accuracy
Linkr decodes QR codes from the camera feed using on-device image recognition. While we strive for high accuracy, scanning results can be affected by lighting, paper condition, code damage, and image quality. You are responsible for confirming that scanned content is what you expect before acting on it — particularly before opening URLs. QR codes can encode links to websites or services we don't control; we are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of those destinations — opening a scanned link is a decision you make.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to use Linkr to:
- Encode or distribute content that is unlawful, harmful, deceptive, or infringes on the rights of others
- Encode personal information about other people (contact details, location, identifiers) without having their permission to do so
- Direct editable QR codes at malicious destinations, phishing pages, malware, or content the recipient hasn't consented to
- Use the app to harass, defraud, or impersonate others
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, disrupt, or overload our backend services
You retain ownership of the content you encode in your QR codes. You grant us the limited permission needed to store your codes and resolve their links so the app can do what you asked it to do. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms.
Takedowns and Provider Compliance
Linkr is a utility designed for everyday QR code use, not a platform structured to defend content operating in legal gray areas. Linkr depends on third-party infrastructure (hosting, payment processors, domain registrars, app stores). When any of those providers, or a law-enforcement authority, asks us to remove or disable a QR code, redirect destination, or account, we will typically comply promptly rather than contest the request. Where legally permitted, we'll notify you when we take such action.
Destination Review
We may, at our discretion, check the destinations of editable QR codes against safe-browsing lists, threat-intelligence feeds, our own automated heuristics, or manual review — and disable codes whose destinations are flagged, change at suspicious frequency, or otherwise match the prohibited categories above. We may do this with or without prior notice. We are not obligated to review every destination, and the absence of review does not imply approval of the destination's content.
Copyright and IP Complaints
If you believe a Linkr code points at content that infringes your copyright or other intellectual-property rights, send a notice to [email protected] including:
- Your contact details and (if acting for a rightsholder) the entity you represent
- Identification of the work claimed to be infringed
- The specific Linkr code (the
linkr.fyi/q/<slug>URL) or destination URL involved - A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rightsholder, its agent, or the law
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on the rightsholder's behalf
- Your physical or electronic signature
We will review notices that meet these requirements and, where appropriate, disable the code. Accounts whose codes are repeatedly flagged for infringement will be terminated.
Editable QR Codes
Editable QR codes work by encoding a stable link that resolves through our service to a destination you can update later. This convenience comes with trade-offs you should understand before printing or distributing them at scale:
- If you delete an editable QR code from your account, anyone who scans it afterward will see a "code not found" page
- If our redirection service is temporarily unavailable, scans of editable codes will fail until the service is restored
- Editable QR codes that you stop maintaining (account closed, subscription lapsed) may stop resolving
For one-shot uses where the destination will never change — a printed sticker pointing at a fixed URL, for example — a static QR code (no resolver in the middle) is more durable. Linkr supports both.
Service Availability and Changes
We work to keep Linkr running, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service, and we may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature — including editable QR codes — at any time. Anything you create in Linkr is yours; for QR code content that's critical to your work, keep your own copy of the destination URL or text alongside the printed code.
Purchases
Any purchases are handled entirely by the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, subject to their refund policies. We do not collect or store payment information.
Your Responsibility for Claims
If someone outside this agreement makes a legal claim against us because of QR codes you created, content you encoded, or how you used Linkr, you agree to cover our reasonable legal costs and any resulting damages, except to the extent the claim is caused by our own wrongdoing.
Limitation of Liability
Linkr is provided as is. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gentle Motion shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of Linkr, including but not limited to: scanning errors, decisions or actions taken based on scanned content, redirection failures or downtime affecting editable QR codes, takedowns of your QR codes or account pursuant to provider or legal requirements, service modifications or discontinuation, or losses caused by deleting your account or letting an editable code lapse. In any case, our total liability to you for any claim relating to Linkr shall not exceed the fees you paid for Linkr in the 12 months before the claim arose, or USD 100 if you have not paid any fees.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the updated terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
