Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 15, 2025

Your privacy is important. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our URL shortening service ("Service").

Information We Collect

URLs – We encrypt and securely store the URLs you shorten.
IP Addresses – We anonymize IP addresses to enhance privacy and prevent identification.
Usage Data – We collect non-identifiable analytics such as click counts and timestamps to understand general usage trends.
Activity Detection – We detect minimal interactions (e.g., clicks, scrolls) solely to prevent automated abuse (bots). No tracking profiles are created, and no personal data is stored.

How We Use Your Information

To generate and manage shortened URLs securely.
To monitor and improve Service performance.
To prevent abuse and ensure security.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell or share your personal information.
Information may be disclosed only when required by law or to prevent abuse.

Data Security and Retention

URLs are stored securely using AES-256 encryption.
We use HMAC-SHA256, a secure cryptographic algorithm, to create unique, one-way identifiers for your links.
IP addresses are anonymized to protect your privacy.
Analytics tracking contains no personal identifiers.
Data may be retained temporarily to maintain Service functionality and prevent abuse.
Since we do not store personal identifiers, we cannot delete URLs on an individual basis.

Third-Party Services

We use Cloudflare to provide security, performance optimization, and content delivery. When you access our Service, Cloudflare may temporarily process technical information such as your IP address and request data to detect malicious activity and improve network reliability. Cloudflare acts as our data processor under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For more information, see Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy .
