Privacy & Security
We take security very seriously. All data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS, and we implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. For more details, please see our Privacy Policy.
For each click on a shortened link, we collect basic information including:
- IP address (anonymized)
- Timestamp
- Browser type and version
- Device type
- Country of origin
We never collect personally identifiable information from link clicks unless you voluntarily provide it through our service.
Currently, all shortened links are publicly accessible if someone has the URL. However, registered users can:
- Password-protect specific links (premium feature coming soon)
- Disable tracking for specific links
- Set expiration dates for links
Troubleshooting
If your shortened link isn't working, try these steps:
- Check that you copied the entire shortened URL correctly
- Verify that the original long URL is still active
- Try creating a new shortened link
- If you're the link owner, check if it was deleted or expired
If problems persist, please contact us.
All shortened links remain active indefinitely unless:
- The link owner deletes it
- The link violates our terms of service
- We discontinue the service (we'll provide notice if this happens)
Registered users can set custom expiration dates for their links.
