Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

ShrinkRL (“we”, “us”) provides a free URL shortening service. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it. We keep it short on purpose.

What we collect

Links you shorten — the original URL and the short link we generate for it.
Click analytics — when a short link is opened, we record aggregate data such as the time of the click, and technical details like IP address, referrer, and user agent, to provide click counts.
Usage data — basic, privacy-friendly analytics about how the site is used.

How we use it

We use this information to operate the service, generate the click analytics shown on each link’s dashboard, prevent abuse, and improve ShrinkRL. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies & analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand site usage. You can block cookies in your browser at any time without affecting your ability to shorten links.
