Privacy Policy for AnLink.eu

1. What We Collect

We store only the minimal data required to operate the platform effectively:

• User ID (if logged in) and username
• Email address (if registered)
• Original URL, shortened slug, link name
• Click timestamps, anonymized IP address (last octet removed), user agent (for analytics)
• Storage usage (not directly applicable for URL shortening, remove if truly no storage limits apply)

2. Link Visibility

Shortened links are publicly accessible by anyone with the link. We do not offer private links in the sense of password protection or hidden directories. However, only registered users can manage and track their links privately through their dashboard.

3. No Tracking or Ads for premium plans

AnLink.eu uses Google AdSense for advertising on free links, which may use cookies. You can control this in your browser settings. We do not use third-party cookies for tracking user behavior directly beyond essential analytics.

All internal click tracking is anonymized (e.g., IP addresses are partially anonymized) and used solely for aggregated analytics to improve our service.

4. Data Deletion

You may request complete deletion of your account and all associated links and data. Please email us from the email address associated with your account at f.ternis@xpsystems.eu.

5. Hosting & GDPR

All data is stored securely within the European Union and managed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
