What we store per click
- linkId
- hour
- country
- referrerHost
- device
- browser
- bot
We never store IP addresses, full user agents or cookies.
Referrers are stored as hosts only, never full URLs. Read our privacy policy.
Check where a link goes
Append + to any short link to preview its destination before following it.
Every destination is checked on create and on every edit. Destination rules and our local blocklist always apply; reputation checks also run when the service is configured and available.
Checks cannot guarantee a destination is safe. If a link looks suspicious, report abuse so it can be reviewed.

Frequently asked questions
Do links expire?
Free links expire 30 days after creation. Pro links never expire while the link exists.
Are there ads?
No. There are no ads on any plan.
What do you store per click?
We store the link ID, hour bucket, country code when available, referrer host only, device class, browser family and bot flag. We never store visitor IP addresses, full user agents, full referrer URLs, cookies or fingerprints. Bots are excluded from the human click count.
How do you stop phishing?
We require an account and verified email, restrict destination URLs, and check a local blocklist on creation and every destination edit. Google Web Risk adds reputation checks when configured; without a key, checks use the local blocklist only. Failed reputation checks are flagged for rechecking. We recheck recent and flagged links, accept abuse reports and disable links that break our rules. These checks cannot guarantee a destination is safe; preview a link by appending + before opening it.
What happens when I cancel Pro?
Links created on Pro keep working after cancellation. Editing their destinations needs Pro again. You can cancel in one click in the Stripe billing portal.
Can I use my own domain?
Not in this version. Links use brandedshortlinks.com.
Is there an API?
Yes. The REST API is included with Pro. See /docs for API documentation.
How do I report a bad link?
Use Report abuse in the footer or visit /report and submit the short link and your reason. You can also contact [email protected]. Reports enter our review queue so abusive links can be disabled.
