Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when using the LYHYT URL shortening service and how that information is used.

Information Collected

When using the service, limited technical information may be collected automatically. This may include IP addresses, timestamps of requests, and the URLs submitted for shortening. This information is used only for operating the service and protecting it from abuse.

Purpose of Data Collection

The collected information is used to maintain the functionality and security of the service. It may also be used to detect spam, prevent automated abuse, enforce service limits, and investigate malicious activity.

Cookies and Sessions

The service may use minimal session cookies required for basic functionality, such as protecting forms against spam or repeated submissions. These cookies are temporary and are not used for tracking users across websites.

Data Retention

Shortened links created using LYHYT automatically expire after 14 days. Related technical data may also be removed periodically as part of normal system maintenance.

Third-Party Sharing

LYHYT does not sell, trade, or share personal information with third parties. Information collected through the service is used only for operating and securing the service.

Security

Reasonable technical measures are used to protect the service and its data from misuse, unauthorized access, or abuse. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the service or legal requirements. Continued use of the service indicates acceptance of the current policy.
