Last Updated: March 31, 2025

CLCK.EE ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our URL shortening service.

1. Information We Collect

When you use CLCK.EE, we collect the following types of information:

1.1 Information You Provide:

• The original URLs you submit to be shortened
• Any custom URL paths you create
• Email address (if you contact us)

1.2 Information Automatically Collected:

• IP addresses (partially anonymized for privacy)
• Browser type and version
• Device information (operating system, device type)
• Geographic location (country level only)
• Referrer information (the site that referred users to your short link)
• Date and time of visits
• Pages visited

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain our URL shortening service
• To generate anonymous usage statistics
• To monitor and analyze usage patterns
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and abuse
• To improve our service and user experience
• To respond to your inquiries and support requests
• To enforce our Terms of Service

3. Data Retention

We retain URL data and associated statistics for as long as the short link remains active in our system. If a link is inactive for an extended period (typically 2 years without any visits), we may deactivate it and delete the associated data.

Visit data (such as IP addresses, timestamps, etc.) is retained for a maximum of 90 days for active links, after which it is aggregated into anonymous statistics.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
• Protection of Rights: We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our terms of service, illegal activities, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Public Information

Please note that shortened URLs are public by design and can be accessed by anyone with the link. Statistics for shortened URLs may be publicly accessible through our stats pages.

6. Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• The right to access personal information we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate information
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to object to processing of your data
• The right to data portability

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
