1. Data We Process

Service Usage Data: When you shorten a URL or generate a QR code, we store the original (long) URL, the generated code, your IP address (for abuse prevention), and a timestamp. We do not link this data to your personal identity unless you voluntarily provide contact information.

Verification Logs: When using our "Verify Safety" tool, our server pings the destination URL. We log this activity to improve our threat detection algorithms.

2. Advertising & Analytics

We partner with Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet. This helps us keep our tools 100% free for users.

3. Data Security & Retention

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Shortened links are stored indefinitely to ensure service continuity, but we reserve the right to purge logs or links associated with malicious activity or those that have been inactive for more than 24 months.

4. Third-Party Links

Our service facilitates redirects to third-party websites. ProShort does not own, control, or endorse these external sites. Once you leave our domain, you are subject to the privacy policy of the destination website.

Cookie Policy

How we use Cookies:
