1. Introduction

Welcome to Shrtnlynx.pro ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our URL shortening service available at shrtnlynx.pro (the "Service").

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us and information that is collected automatically when you use our Service.

2.1 Information You Provide

Account Information: When you sign in, we receive the account identifiers and profile information supplied by the authentication provider. Shrtnlynx.pro does not receive your provider password.
URL Data: The original URLs you submit for shortening and any custom short codes you create.
Public Profiles: Treelynx and bio-page names, biographies, social links, and destination links you save are displayed publicly at your profile address. Do not put private information on these pages.
Payment Information: If you subscribe to our Premium plan, payment processing is handled by PayPal. We do not store your credit card numbers or banking details on our servers.
Communications: If you contact us via email, we collect the content of your message and your contact information.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

Click Analytics: When someone clicks on a shortened link, we collect the visitor's device type, browser, operating system, referrer URL, and the time of the click. This data is used to provide analytics to the link creator.
Abuse Prevention: Password-attempt rate limiting uses a keyed, non-reversible digest derived from a visitor network address rather than storing that address in lockout records. Hosting and infrastructure providers may separately process request information.
Product Analytics: When enabled, Replit-hosted analytics measures page visits and coarse product events such as link creation, QR download requests, and Treelynx edits. Custom event properties do not include submitted URLs, passwords, profile text, account IDs, or payment IDs.

3. How We Use Your Information

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: We use third-party services like PayPal for payment processing and hosting providers for infrastructure. These providers have access to your information only to perform their services and are obligated to protect it.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation.
Protection of Rights: We may disclose information when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information. All data is transmitted over HTTPS encryption. Passwords for protected links are securely hashed. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain account information while it is needed to provide the Service. URL data and associated click records remain until the link is deleted or a valid deletion request is completed. Some records may be retained when required for security, abuse prevention, legal obligations, or dispute resolution.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

The right to access the personal information we hold about you
The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information
The right to request deletion of your personal information
The right to object to processing of your personal information
The right to data portability
The right to withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at glenn.estrellado@ymail.com.

8. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and authentication state. Product analytics and advertising are separate purposes: Replit-hosted analytics, when enabled, measures site use; Google AdSense is an advertising service. Google ad serving is currently disabled on this site while its content and policy readiness are reviewed.

Before Google ad serving is enabled, the site must provide any required consent controls and disclosures. Google and its partners may then use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to serve and measure ads, and may use information about visits to this and other sites for personalized advertising. Learn how Google uses information at Google's partner-sites policy and manage advertising preferences at My Ad Center. Browser cookie settings may also be used to control storage, but disabling essential cookies can affect sign-in.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
