Privacy Policy

When you create a short URL, LYHYT may store information such as your IP address, the destination URL, creation time, expiration time, and limited technical information needed to operate and protect the service.

LYHYT does not require registration and does not require you to provide your name, email address, or other personal information simply to create a short URL.

We aim to collect only information that is necessary to provide the service, maintain security, enforce usage limits, and prevent abuse.

Information may be used to create and operate short URLs, enforce service limits, maintain system security, investigate abuse, detect malicious activity, and maintain the reliability of the service.

Information may also be used to investigate reports concerning abusive, malicious, or prohibited short URLs.

Yes. IP addresses may be stored when short URLs are created or when necessary for security and abuse prevention.

IP addresses may be used to enforce usage limits, detect automated or abusive activity, investigate reports, and apply security measures such as IP bans.

LYHYT may use a limited number of cookies or similar technical mechanisms where necessary to operate the service and maintain security.

These cookies are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking, and LYHYT does not use cookies to sell personal information to third parties.

LYHYT does not sell personal information to third parties.

Information may only be disclosed to third parties when reasonably necessary to operate the service, protect its security, respond to valid legal requests, or comply with applicable legal obligations.

Short URLs are normally retained only for the period during which they remain active. Expired or removed short URLs may be deleted during routine maintenance.

Some information may be retained for a longer period when reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, dispute handling, or compliance with legal obligations.

LYHYT uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no internet service or electronic storage system can guarantee complete security. We continuously work to maintain appropriate safeguards for the information processed by the service.

LYHYT may process technical information, including IP addresses and short URL information, to detect and prevent abuse, spam, phishing, malware, automated attacks, and other malicious activity.

Short URLs or IP addresses associated with serious or repeated abuse may be blocked or removed.

If a short URL is reported or identified as being associated with prohibited, malicious, or illegal content, LYHYT may review the relevant information and take appropriate action.

This may include disabling or removing the short URL, blocking associated activity, or retaining relevant information when reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, or legal compliance.

LYHYT may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, or other valid legal requirements.

Information may also be disclosed when necessary to protect the rights, property, security, or users of LYHYT or other persons.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information processed by LYHYT, including rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain information.
