Free service notice: Free short URLs may be deleted after 90 days. The Service, links, and availability may also change or stop at any time. Keep your own copy of important destination URLs; tinyz.link is not responsible for loss caused by deletion, interruption, or service changes.
This Privacy Policy explains how tinyz.link (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information when you visit our website or use our URL-shortening Service. It should be read together with our Terms & Conditions.
1. Information we may collect
Depending on how you use the Service, we may collect:
- Submitted content: the destination URL and optional information provided when creating or managing a link.
- Account information: such as an email address if account features or support require it.
- Technical information: IP address, browser and device details, approximate location derived from an IP address, timestamps, referring page, and diagnostic logs.
- Usage information: link creation, redirect events, aggregate click counts, and security or abuse signals.
- Communications: information included when contacting support or reporting a link.
2. How we use information
We use information to provide redirects, maintain reliability, prevent fraud and abuse, respond to requests, understand service performance, communicate important changes, and meet legal or security obligations. We do not use submitted URLs to create a profile of your browsing interests beyond what is reasonably needed to operate and protect the Service.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
We may use essential cookies or similar storage for security, session management, preferences, and basic analytics. You can control cookies through your browser, but disabling essential cookies may affect some features.
4. Sharing and service providers
We may share limited information with vendors that help host, secure, monitor, analyze, or deliver the Service, subject to appropriate safeguards. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not sell personal information.
5. Retention and security
We retain information for as long as needed to operate links, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and meet legal requirements. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no internet service can promise absolute security.
6. International use
Users may access the Service from different countries, and information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Where required, we take steps intended to provide appropriate protection for international transfers.
7. Regional privacy rights
Privacy rights vary by country, state, province, and territory. Depending on the law that applies to you, including laws such as the GDPR or UK GDPR, the CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PIPEDA, or other local privacy rules, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal information, withdraw consent, opt out of certain uses, or complain to a privacy regulator. We will assess each request under the law that applies and will not discriminate against you for exercising a protected right.
To make a privacy request, contact privacy@tinyz.link and state your country or region, the right you wish to exercise, and the email or account information needed to locate the request. We may verify your identity, ask for clarification, apply lawful exceptions, and retain information where required to prevent abuse, protect others, resolve disputes, or comply with law.
8. Legal bases and conflicts
Where a law requires a legal basis, processing may be based on providing the Service, complying with a legal obligation, protecting the Service and users, pursuing legitimate interests, or consent where consent is required. If a mandatory privacy rule in your country conflicts with this Policy, that rule controls to the extent of the conflict. This Policy is a general template and does not replace a country-specific notice, registration, representative, consent mechanism, or contract where one is legally required.
9. Children
The Service is not directed to children who are not permitted to use online services under the laws that apply to them. If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, contact us so we can review the request.
10. Policy updates and contact
We may update this Policy when our Service or legal obligations change. The updated version will be published on this page with a new date. Privacy questions can be sent to privacy@tinyz.link.
