Acceptable Use Policy
& Community Safety Rules.
Rules governing permissible service usage, content standards, and strict prohibitions against phishing, malware, spam, and utility misuse.
CropMyImages maintains automated threat detection mechanisms and live domain monitoring. Accounts or short links created for phishing, scam distribution, malware delivery, or illegal activity are permanently banned immediately without refund or warning, and reported to relevant law enforcement agencies.
Overview & Purpose
This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") sets forth the mandatory standards of conduct required for all users accessing CropMyImages (https://cropmyimages.com) and its web tools.
Our mission is to provide high-precision, privacy-focused image editing and utility tools. This policy ensures our infrastructure remains safe, reliable, and free from abuse, scams, and unlawful exploits.
Prohibited Content & Media
You are strictly prohibited from uploading, processing, generating, or linking to media or content that falls into any of the following categories:
Any child sexual abuse material or child exploitation content. Zero tolerance — immediate law enforcement notification (NCMEC/ICAC).
Content promoting illegal drugs, human trafficking, terrorism, violent extremism, or instructions on weapon manufacturing.
Media intended to incite violence, stalk, threaten, harass, or demean individuals based on race, religion, gender, or orientation.
Non-consensual intimate imagery, deepfakes designed for defamation, or impersonation of real individuals without authorization.
Phishing, Malware & Cyber Security Threats
CropMyImages tools must never be utilized to execute cyberattacks or deceptive campaigns. The following activities are strictly banned:
- Credential Harvesting / Phishing: Hosting or linking to deceptive login portals designed to steal banking credentials, passwords, or personal identity details.
- Malware Distribution: Distributing viruses, ransomware, trojans, keyloggers, spyware, or malicious script payloads.
- Exploit Hosting: Uploading files engineered to exploit browser vulnerabilities or trigger buffer overflows.
Misuse of URL Shortener & QR Code Generator Features
Our URL Shortener and QR Generator tools are provided for legitimate web navigation and marketing. (Please note: both the URL Shortener and QR Code Generator features are currently in progress and under active development with limited functionality). We enforce real-time URL scanning for all short link destination targets.
Short links pointing to phishing portals, illicit gambling, pirated software downloads, deceptive pop-up traps, or crypto scam pages will be disabled instantly.
QR codes generated for physical flyering or online distribution that redirect to malicious WiFi networks, fraudulent payment gateways, or unauthorized SMS triggers are prohibited.
Note: Short links found in violation are blacklisted globally and disabled across all edge node CDNs within seconds.
Spam, Botting & Quota Bypassing
To ensure equitable service performance for all users, you must not engage in platform automated abuse:
- Unsolicited Bulk Spam: Using short links or QR codes in unsolicited email (SPAM), SMS spam, or automated social media bot spamming.
- Rate Limit Evasion: Utilizing IP rotation networks, headless browser farms, or proxy chains to circumvent free daily processing quotas.
- Denial of Service (DDoS): Flooding servers with artificial traffic spikes to degrade platform availability.
