short is a free URL shortening service. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it. By using the service you agree to these terms.
When you create a link, we store the destination URL, the short code, and metadata about the request — including the time, approximate location (country), and IP address. When someone follows a link, we record each visit along with similar metadata (time, referring page, browser user-agent, country, and IP). We retain this information indefinitely as part of the service's history.
We use the data we collect to operate, maintain, analyze, and improve the service, to understand usage and traffic patterns, to keep the service secure and prevent abuse, and for other legitimate business purposes. We may aggregate or analyze the data and may use it to develop new features and offerings. In short, information submitted to or generated by the service may be used at our discretion in connection with operating and improving it.
We may share data with service providers who help us run the platform, and where required by law or to protect the service. We do not sell your personal information.
The service is provided “as is,” free of charge, without warranties of any kind. Don't shorten links containing sensitive or confidential information.
