1. Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored securely hashed). When visitors click on shortened links, we collect anonymized data including IP address, user agent, device type, referrer, and approximate geographic location for analytics and fraud prevention purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

• Provide and maintain our URL shortening and monetization services
• Process earnings and payout requests
• Display click analytics and statistics in your dashboard
• Improve our platform and user experience
• Detect and prevent fraud, bot traffic, and abuse
• Verify human visitors via Cloudflare Turnstile

3. Third-Party Advertising

We work with third-party advertising networks including Adsterra and Monetag to display ads on interstitial pages. These networks may use cookies, scripts, and similar technologies to serve ads based on user interests. We do not share your personal account information with advertisers.

Third-party ad formats on our platform may include banner ads, popunder ads, vignette ads, social bar ads, and push notification prompts. These are served directly by the ad networks and are subject to their own privacy policies.

4. Cookies & Tracking

We use the following types of cookies and tracking technologies:

• Essential cookies: Authentication (JWT tokens in HTTP-only cookies) and click deduplication
• Analytics: Vercel Analytics for platform usage insights
• Advertising: Third-party ad networks (Adsterra, Monetag) may set cookies for ad serving, targeting, and frequency capping
• Security: Cloudflare Turnstile for bot detection and human verification
• Marketing: Meta Pixel for conversion tracking

By continuing to use our site, you consent to the use of these cookies as described. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Content Disclaimer

LinkPearl does not own, host, or control the content of destination URLs created by our users. Shortened links redirect to third-party websites that are entirely outside our control. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, legality, or availability of any linked third-party websites.

6. Data Retention

Account data is retained as long as your account is active. Click analytics data is retained for statistical and fraud prevention purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting support.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including password hashing (bcrypt), HTTPS encryption, server-side CAPTCHA verification, and anti-fraud systems. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
