Privacy Policy
Last updated: 20 Nov 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how ClipLinkly (“Service”, “we”, “our”) collects and uses data.
Your privacy matters to us, and we collect only what is required to operate the Service and provide accurate analytics.
1. Information We Collect
1.1. When You Create an Account
We may collect:
- email address;
- password (hashed and salted);
- optional profile information;
- usage activity.
1.2. When You Use Short Links
When someone visits a ClipLinkly link, we automatically process:
- IP address (used to derive geolocation);
- country / region / city (via GeoIP databases);
- device type (mobile/desktop/tablet);
- browser & OS metadata;
- referrer (traffic source);
- timestamps of visits;
- URL parameters (for routing rules).
We do not store full IP addresses longer than necessary for:
- abuse detection,
- fraud prevention,
- country-based routing,
- generation of anonymized statistics.
2. Cookies and Local Storage
The Service may use:
- authentication cookies
- anonymous session tokens (e.g.,
clip_anon_token) - local storage to save UI preferences
We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
3. How We Use the Data
We use collected data for:
- generating accurate click analytics;
- fraud prevention and bot detection;
- smart redirect rules (by country, device, language, etc.);
- improving service performance;
- user authentication and account management;
- compliance with legal requirements.
4. Sharing of Data
We do not sell personal data.
We may share minimal necessary data with:
- infrastructure providers (hosting, databases);
- email service providers (for sign-in links);
- third-party tools strictly needed for analytics or geolocation.
All processing partners are vetted for GDPR-level compliance.
5. Data Retention
- Analytics logs (country, device type, timestamp) may be stored indefinitely in aggregated form.
- Raw IP addresses are retained only as long as required for routing and security (typically a short period).
- Account data is stored until the user deletes their account.
6. Data Deletion
You can request deletion of your:
- account,
- associated short links,
- analytics data (where legally possible).

- strict authentication tokens,
- access controls and audit logs.
However, no system is 100% secure.

We ensure adequate safeguards for international data transfers.
