Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to fnl.ink. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and services. Our core philosophy is to collect as little data as possible.

2. Information We Collect

Local Data: When you shorten a link, the record of that link (original URL, short code, and date) is stored in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not stored on our servers.

Usage Data: We may collect anonymous information about how the service is accessed and used, such as your browser type, browser version, the pages of our service that you visit, and the time and date of your visit.

3. Advertising, Cookies & Your Consent

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our site. Google and its certified advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads based on your visits to this and other websites. To understand how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Consent in the EEA, UK & Switzerland. If you are located in these regions, we obtain your consent through a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) before any personalized-advertising or measurement cookies are set, in line with the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework and Google Consent Mode v2. Until you make a choice, advertising and analytics storage remain disabled by default.

Changing your choices. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing this site's cookies and stored data in your browser, which brings the consent banner back so you can choose again. Where Google's consent message is shown, you can also reopen it from that prompt's privacy options.

Opting out of personalized ads. You may opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ad Settings and manage third-party vendor choices at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.

4. Third-Party Services

Our service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

5. Data Retention

Since we do not store your personal information or link history on our servers, we do not have a data retention period for such information. Your link history persists in your browser until you clear your browser's cache or delete the history via our interface.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top.
