Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to provide our services. This includes URLs you shorten, optional custom slugs, UTM parameters, and basic analytics such as click timestamps, referrers, and device types. We do not collect personal identifiers unless you voluntarily provide them.

2. How We Use Your Data

Data is used solely to operate, maintain, and improve the URL shortening and analytics experience. We analyze aggregated, anonymized usage patterns to optimize performance and reliability. We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.

3. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Limited service providers (hosting, analytics infrastructure) may process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements. We comply with applicable data protection regulations including GDPR and CCPA where relevant.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security audits. While no system is 100% secure, we continuously monitor and improve our defenses to protect your information.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data. Because most shortened links are anonymous, you may delete any local history from your browser. For data removal requests related to specific analytics, contact us at privacy@onlineurlshortner.com.

6. Cookies & Local Storage

We use local storage to maintain your link history and theme preferences. We do not deploy tracking cookies or third-party advertising pixels. You can clear local storage at any time through your browser settings.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
