Frequently asked questions
Short answers about Bre.nz, QR codes, privacy, and plans. If your question is not here, email support@bre.nz.
What is Bre.nz?
Bre.nz is a private chat service built around QR codes. A printed code gives visitors, couriers, or members of the public a way to start a conversation with the person or team behind it.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The conversation opens in the browser. The Bre.nz web app at app.bre.nz is where you create and manage your codes.
Do I have to share my phone number?
No. Bre.nz needs a phone number to create an account, but that number is not shown to the person you are chatting with.
How do I create a QR code?
Sign in to the Bre.nz web app and create the chat channel or QR code you need. Print the code and place it where people will scan it.
Can I retire or dispose of a code?
Temporary public codes can be retired when the notice comes down, closing the channel. For help with any code, email support@bre.nz.
What does Bre.nz cost?
Bre.nz has a free plan. Some features have quantity limits on the free plan; a paid plan with higher limits may be offered in the future.
Who runs Bre.nz?
Bre.nz is operated by Geowalker Limited. The service is governed by New Zealand law. You can contact the team at support@bre.nz.
How do I get help?
Email support@bre.nz and the team will help with an account, a code, or a privacy request.
