Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Vinit Links ("we", "our", or "us"). We operate the URL shortening, link management, and developer API platform accessible at https://vinit-9q3.pages.dev. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding how data is collected, processed, and safeguarded.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information strictly necessary to provide our URL routing, click analytics, and account management services:

• Account Data: When you register an account, we collect your email address and securely hashed credentials.
• Link Data: The destination URLs you shorten, custom slugs, and associated metadata.
• Click & Analytics Data: When an internet user clicks a shortened URL, our Edge server logs non-personally identifiable diagnostic information including approximate geographic location (country/city derived from IP), referrer header (e.g., social networks, search engines), device type, operating system, and browser version.

3. Cookies and Advertising Partners

We may partner with third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and native advertising platforms (such as MGID, Google, and partner programmatic networks) to serve relevant advertisements and support our free services.

• Third-party ad networks may use cookies, web beacons, and tracking pixels to measure ad effectiveness and personalize ad content based on visits to this and other websites.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) consumer choice portal.

4. Data Protection & GDPR / CCPA Compliance

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have the right to access, rectify, or request deletion of your personal data. We do not sell user personal data. To request data deletion or an export of your account dossier, please contact us through our abuse and contact channels.

5. Security & Infrastructure

Our platform operates entirely on Cloudflare's globally distributed Edge infrastructure. All data in transit is encrypted using modern TLS/HTTPS encryption. User authentication is secured via PBKDF2/SHA-256 cryptographic hashing and signed JWT tokens.
