1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:
- Account information: Email address, password hash (PBKDF2-SHA256), and optional profile data.
- Link data: URLs you shorten, custom aliases, access policies, and analytics events.
- File metadata: Names, sizes, and storage references for uploaded files (files stored in private R2).
- Usage data: IP addresses, user agents, and timestamps for link access (analytics purposes only).
2. How We Use Your Data
We use your data solely to:
- Provide link shortening and file sharing services

- Generate analytics dashboards for your account
- Send transactional emails (OTP codes, notifications)
- Prevent abuse and ensure platform security
3. Data Storage & Security
All data is stored in Cloudflare's infrastructure (D1 for database, R2 for files). We employ industry-standard security measures:
- PBKDF2-SHA256 password hashing with 100K iterations
- HMAC-signed cookies for access grants
- SHA-256 hashed OTP codes with 5-minute expiry
- Strict rate limiting and CSRF protection

We do not share your data with advertisers, analytics companies, or any other third parties beyond what's necessary to operate the service.
5. Cookies & Tracking
We use only essential cookies: session authentication and access grants for protected links. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics scripts.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to:
