This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

URLs You Submit

When you use our redirect checker tool, you submit URLs for analysis. These URLs are processed in real-time to check redirect chains and are not permanently stored on our servers. The URLs are only retained temporarily during your active session.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our Service:

  • IP address (for rate limiting and abuse prevention)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on the Service
  • Referring website or source

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience on our Service. These may include essential cookies for site functionality and analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provide and maintain our redirect checking service
  • To process your URL analysis requests
  • To improve and optimize our Service
  • To prevent abuse and enforce rate limits
  • To analyze usage patterns and improve user experience

Third-Party Services

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Service. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

We may use analytics services to help us understand how visitors interact with our Service. These services may collect information about your use of the Service and help us improve our offerings.

Data Retention

We do not permanently store the URLs you submit for analysis. All redirect checking requests are processed in real-time, and the results are only temporarily available during your browser session.

Server logs containing technical information (such as IP addresses) may be retained for a limited period for security and abuse prevention purposes, after which they are automatically deleted.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information we process. Our Service uses HTTPS encryption to secure data transmission between your browser and our servers.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • The right to access information we hold about you
  • The right to request correction of inaccurate information
  • The right to request deletion of your information
  • The right to opt out of certain data processing activities
  • The right to data portability
