Privacy Policy

1. Information We May Process

The information processed by TakenLink depends on how the service is being used.

When an account is used to access the TakenLink dashboard, we may process account identifiers, authentication information, and other information necessary to provide access to account features.

When a TakenLink short URL is accessed, certain technical information may be processed automatically as part of normal web and security operations.

• IP address or network-related information.
• Browser or user-agent information.
• Date and time of access.
• The short URL or shortcode that was requested.
• Referrer information when provided by the requesting browser or system.
• Approximate country or geographic information derived from network data.
• Information used to understand general traffic and automated access patterns.

2. How Information Is Used

Technical and account-related information may be used to operate, maintain, protect, and improve TakenLink.

Examples include:

• Providing and maintaining short-link redirects.
• Allowing users to manage their short links.
• Providing link analytics and activity summaries.
• Detecting automated traffic, crawlers, abuse, or unusual activity.
• Protecting accounts and service infrastructure.
• Diagnosing technical issues and improving reliability.

3. Link Analytics

TakenLink provides analytics intended to give account users a general overview of activity associated with their short links.

Analytics may include overall link activity, traffic trends, automated access, and general geographic information such as the countries associated with recorded requests.

These analytics are designed to describe traffic activity and technical access patterns rather than identify individual visitors by name.

4. Cookies and Session Information

The TakenLink dashboard may use cookies or session identifiers that are necessary for authentication, account access, security, and normal operation of logged-in features.

Disabling essential cookies may prevent some authenticated features from working correctly.

5. Infrastructure and Service Providers

TakenLink may rely on infrastructure and service providers to deliver website traffic, protect the service, process network requests, and maintain system availability.

Those providers may process technical information according to their own terms and privacy practices when providing their services.

6. External Websites

TakenLink short URLs can redirect visitors to websites and services operated by third parties.

TakenLink does not control the privacy practices, cookies, content, or data processing activities of external destination websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of those destinations when appropriate.

7. Data Retention

Technical, analytics, security, and account-related information may be retained for a period reasonably necessary to operate the service, maintain security, investigate technical issues, and provide historical analytics.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, operational requirements, and system configuration.

8. Security

TakenLink uses technical and operational measures intended to help protect its systems, accounts, and service infrastructure.

However, no internet service or transmission method can guarantee absolute security in every circumstance.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the service, technology, analytics features, security practices, or applicable requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
