Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 27, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to rutgon.biz — a smart URL shortener. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

2. Data We Collect

  • Account information: When signing in with Google, we receive your email, full name, and avatar via Google OAuth.
  • Shortened links: Original URLs, names, descriptions, and settings you create on the platform.
  • Analytics data: Click history on your shortened links, including access time, device type, browser, OS, traffic source, and coarse location (country/region/city when available). We do not store raw IP addresses; we store anonymized/hashed IP data only for aggregate analytics and abuse prevention.
  • Technical cookies: Authentication tokens (access_token, refresh_token) stored as httpOnly cookies — inaccessible to third-party JavaScript.

3. Cookies and Advertising

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Authentication cookies (required): Maintain your login session. Cannot be disabled while logged in.
  • Advertising cookies (optional): Google AdSense uses cookies to show relevant ads. These are only activated after you consent via our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Google AdSense is a third party that controls advertising cookies under Google's Privacy Policy.

4. How We Use Data

  • Provide and improve the URL shortening service.
  • Display click statistics for your own links.
  • Manage usage quotas and plan limits.
  • Show relevant advertisements (with consent).

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

5. Third-Party Sharing

  • Google LLC: Handles sign-in (OAuth 2.0) and advertising (AdSense) under Google's own policies.
  • Infrastructure providers: Data is stored on secure servers — providers have no access to content.

6. Data Security

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. Authentication tokens are stored in httpOnly cookies. Connections are protected by HTTPS/TLS.

7. Your Rights

  • Request to view, edit, or delete your personal data.
  • Withdraw advertising cookie consent at any time.
  • Delete your account and all associated links.

8. Data Retention

Account data is retained until you delete your account. Refresh tokens expire after 30 days of inactivity.
