Welcome to MinifyUrls! This Privacy Policy explains how we ("we," "us," or "our") collect, use, and securely disclose information when you use our link shortening and monetization services available at minifyurls.com (the "Website").

We are fully committed to protecting your privacy while providing a highly secure, reliable platform for you to shorten links and earn money easily. By accessing or using our Website, you agree to the transparent practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

📥 1. Information We Collect

👤 1.1 Personal Information

When you register for an account to start earning with our tools, we securely collect:

• Your full name and profile details.
• Email address (for account verification and important updates).
• Account password (which is always strictly and securely encrypted).
• Payment and withdrawal information required to process your hard-earned money. Note: We currently support UPI, Bank Transfer, Crypto (including Binance), Google Play Gift Cards, Amazon Gift Cards, FamPay, PhonePe, Google Pay, and more!

📊 1.2 Non-Personal & Analytical Information

To ensure 100% accurate click tracking, calculate your fair payouts, and maintain strict platform security, we automatically collect data when you or your audience interact with our shortened links:

• IP addresses (of both link creators and link clickers).
• Browser types and device versions.
• Operating systems (e.g., Android, iOS, Windows).
• Referring websites and traffic sources (to see where your clicks are coming from).
• Date and time stamps of all visits and link interactions.

⚙ 2. How We Use Your Information

We strictly use the collected information to operate, improve, and protect our platform. Specifically, we use it to:

• Provide our core services: Keep the link shortener running fast and track your link analytics accurately.
• Process Payouts: Calculate your exact earnings and process timely, secure payouts to your chosen payment method.
• Detect and prevent fraud: Analyze traffic patterns to identify bot activity, fake clicks, VPN abuse, or violations of our terms of service. This protects the integrity of our monetization program for honest users.
• Communicate with you: Send account updates, technical notices, and helpful customer support responses.
• Enhance User Experience: Improve the Website's dashboard interface and overall functionality.
• Legal Compliance: Enforce our Terms of Service.

🤝 3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We value your privacy and do NOT sell your personal information. We only share necessary data under the following strict circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted third-party partners who assist us in operating our Website securely (such as hosting providers and payment processors necessary for completing your withdrawals).
• Advertising Partners: Non-personally identifiable traffic data may be shared with advertising networks to serve relevant ads on our intermediate link pages. This is what generates the revenue used to pay you!
• Legal Compliance: If strictly required by law, court order, or government authority to protect the safety, property, or rights of MinifyUrls, our users, or the public.

🍪 4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

MinifyUrls uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to store your dashboard preferences, keep you securely logged into your account, and accurately track the traffic flowing through your shortened links. These technologies are absolutely essential for attributing clicks to your account so you get paid correctly. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling them may severely impact account functionality and your ability to earn.

🛡 5. Data Security

We implement robust, industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information and payment details from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.

💾 6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to provide you with our services, process your payouts, and maintain your active account. We may also retain certain analytical data and payment histories as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and strictly prevent fraudulent activities on the platform.

✨ 7. Your Rights

You are in control of your data. Depending on your location, you have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Access, update, or correct your personal and payment information directly via your account dashboard.
• Delete your account and associated personal data (subject to our need to retain certain data temporarily for fraud prevention).
• Withdraw your consent or opt-out of promotional emails at any time.

🌐 8. Third-Party Links

Because our service involves redirecting users to external URLs, the Website routinely handles links to third-party sites. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of any destination websites accessed via our shortened links. Always exercise caution when browsing unknown sites.

📝 9. Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to modify or update this Policy to reflect changes in our platform or legal requirements. We will post the updated Policy here and update the "Effective Date" at the top of the page. Your continued use of MinifyUrls after any changes signifies your acceptance of the revised terms.
