Security & Phishing Disclaimer

Important User Warning

Zarnecka.com is a neutral technological platform that provides URL shortening, QR code generation, and link management services. We do not create, control, or endorse the destination of the links or QR codes generated by our users.

The nature of a shortened URL is that it obscures the final destination address. This is a core function of our service, used for legitimate purposes like tracking marketing campaigns and creating neat links for social media. However, this same characteristic can be exploited by malicious actors to hide phishing websites, scams, malware, and other harmful content.

Your Responsibility as a Visitor

You should exercise extreme caution before clicking on ANY shortened link from ANY source, including those from zarnecka.com.

  • Be Suspicious: Do not click on shortened links in unsolicited emails, text messages, or social media posts, especially if they promise rewards, threaten consequences, or create a sense of urgency.

  • Verify the Source: If you receive a shortened link from a known contact but the message seems unusual, verify with them through a different communication channel before clicking.

  • Hover Over Links: On desktop computers, you can hover your mouse over a link to see the full destination URL in the bottom corner of your browser. While this may still show our domain (zarnecka.com), it is a good general security practice.

  • Use a Link Expander: If you are unsure, you can use an online link expander service to reveal the destination of a shortened URL without clicking on it.

  • Do Not Enter Credentials: Never enter passwords, credit card details, or other sensitive information on a website you have reached through a shortened link unless you are absolutely certain of its legitimacy.

Our Policies and Actions

  1. Prohibited Use: Our Terms and Conditions explicitly prohibit the use of our Service for phishing, distributing malware, fraud, spamming, or any other illegal or malicious activity.

  2. Reactive Takedowns: We investigate and respond to reports of abusive links. We reserve the right to immediately suspend or remove any link or user account that we find to be in violation of our Terms.

  3. No Endorsement: The presence of a link or QR code on our platform does not constitute an endorsement, authorization, or verification of that link's safety or content by Zarnecka.

How to Report Malicious Links

We take the abuse of our platform seriously. If you discover a zarnecka.com link that you believe is being used for phishing, malware, or other malicious purposes, please report it immediately to us.

Please include the full suspicious link (e.g., zarnecka.com/abc123) in your report.

Contact Email for Abuse Reports: admin@zarnecka.com

Upon receipt of a credible report, we will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include disabling the link and suspending the associated user account.

Limitation of Liability

By using our Service, you acknowledge that Zarnecka cannot and does not guarantee the safety or legitimacy of every destination behind a shortened link. You click on links at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Zarnecka shall not be held liable for any damages or losses resulting from phishing attacks, malware, scams, or any other harm caused by clicking on links shortened through our Service.
