Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2025-10-05

1. Overview

Shortener URL is a URL shortening service that lets you create short, branded links and analyze engagement. We take your privacy seriously and only collect the minimum data required to provide analytics and improve our service.

2. Information We Collect

  • Account Information: name, email, and password when you register. We store passwords in hashed form.
  • Link Data: original URLs you shorten, short codes/aliases, and metadata related to your links.
  • Analytics Data: when someone clicks your short link, we may record non-sensitive data such as browser, OS, device type, referrer, IP address (for anti-abuse and geolocation if enabled), and timestamp.

3. How We Use Data

  • Provide core functionality (shortening, redirecting links).
  • Generate aggregated reports and analytics for your links.
  • Maintain the security and reliability of the service (fraud/abuse prevention).
  • Communicate important updates about your account and our services.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers (e.g., email delivery) under strict confidentiality agreements, only to operate and improve Shortener URL.

5. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain sessions (e.g., login) and improve user experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and link data as long as your account remains active. You can delete individual links or request account deletion, which removes or anonymizes related data, subject to legal obligations.

7. Security

We use industry-standard security practices (HTTPS, hashing, access controls). No method of transmission is 100% secure, but we continuously improve our safeguards.

8. Your Rights

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
  • Export your data upon request.
  • Withdraw consent where applicable.

9. Children’s Privacy

Shortener URL is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
