Privacy Policy

LinkMagnet is operated by an individual based in California, USA. This Privacy Policy applies to our website, short-link tools, analytics features, Open Graph validator, and related services.

When you use LinkMagnet, we may collect technical and usage information such as browser details, device information, IP address, approximate location, referral information, and interactions with the site. Some of this information comes directly from your browser or from infrastructure and analytics providers we use to run the service.

On supported website pages, we may use Microsoft Clarity to better understand how visitors navigate and use the site through behavioral analytics such as page views, clicks, scrolling activity, session replay, and heatmap-style insights. We use this information to improve site content, navigation, usability, and overall product experience. We do not use Microsoft Clarity on LinkMagnet short-link redirect pages under /s/*.

When someone visits a LinkMagnet short link, we may record or derive analytics including click totals, referrer domain, country code, and device category. We use this information to provide reporting to the link owner, understand service usage, and improve the product.

LinkMagnet uses cookies and similar technologies for authentication, security, analytics, and basic site functionality. This includes a persistent cookie that remembers which sign-in method (Google or email) you last used, so we can highlight it on your next visit. We also set a session cookie called NEXT_LOCALE to remember the language you selected during your visit. We may also use local storage in the browser for product features such as preserving short-link claim state across sign-in.

Our analytics and site tooling providers may also set or read cookies and similar technologies to help us understand site usage, measure performance, and improve the service.

Depending on the feature used, LinkMagnet currently relies on third-party providers for infrastructure and product functionality, including analytics and session replay tooling on supported website pages.

Submitted URLs may be transmitted to third-party security providers solely to detect abuse and unsafe destinations.

Microsoft Privacy Statement

We may share information with service providers that help us operate LinkMagnet. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, to investigate abuse or security issues, or in connection with a sale, transfer, or restructuring of the service.

We do not sell personal information for money.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We may keep aggregated or de-identified analytics longer.

You can contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, subject to applicable law and exceptions. California residents may have additional rights under California privacy law, including the right to know what categories of personal information we collect and the right to request deletion.

LinkMagnet is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly permit accounts for minors. We also do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version here and update the last updated date.
