Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 04, 2025

IMBD URL Shortener ("us", "we", or "our") operates the IMBD URL Shortener website and Chrome extension (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information when you use our Service.

We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. We use your Personal Information for providing and improving the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information Collection and Use

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to, your email address, name, and phone number ("Personal Information").

2. URL Shortening and Analytics

Our Service provides URL shortening functionality. When you shorten a URL, we collect:

  • The original URL you are shortening
  • The date and time when the URL was shortened
  • Your IP address (stored in anonymized form)

When someone clicks on a shortened URL, we collect:

  • The date and time of the click
  • General geographic location based on IP address (country/city level only, IP addresses are not stored)
  • Browser type and operating system
  • Referrer URL (where the click came from, when available)

This information is used to provide click analytics to the creator of the shortened URL and to maintain the security and performance of our Service.

3. Chrome Extension Permissions

Our Chrome extension requires certain permissions to function properly:

  • Access to current tab URL: This is required to shorten the URL of the page you are currently viewing.
  • Clipboard access: This allows the extension to copy shortened URLs to your clipboard for easy sharing.
  • Storage: To save your preferences and settings within the extension.

Our extension does not:

  • Read or track your browsing history
  • Access your personal data on websites
  • Monitor your browsing activity across different sites

The extension only accesses and shortens a URL when you explicitly click on the extension icon or use the context menu option.

4. Log Data

We collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Service or when you access the Service through our Chrome extension ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.

5. Cookies

6. Service Providers

7. Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
