Do not post this vendor QR code until the destination, business owner, sensitive actions, test scan, and removal date have been documented. If the code changes, submit it for review again.

Frequently asked questions

When should a vendor QR code be approved?

Approve it before the code appears on public signs, invoices, receipts, event materials, support pages, customer emails, or employee instructions.

What is the most important vendor QR check?

Confirm the destination domain, business purpose, data collected, and whether the code asks for payment, login, file download, app install, or permissions.

Should vendors use URL shorteners in QR codes?

Avoid mystery short links for sensitive customer actions. If a short link is required, document the owner, final destination, and redirect path before approval.

Is this form a security certification?

No. It is an operational review aid. Use it with vendor contracts, privacy review, staff training, destination preview, and sign inspection.
