Privacy Policy.
Links Waali is built on a privacy-first architecture. We do not sell user data, track individuals across the web, or require personal account sign-ups to create and share smart links.
Key Takeaways
- No Login or Registration Required: Anyone can generate shortlinks freely without creating an account or handing over personal credentials.
- Zero Cross-Site Tracking: We do not deploy advertising tracking pixels, cookie fingerprinting, or behavioral analytics trackers.
- Edge Protocol Resolution: Link redirects are processed ephemerally at edge nodes to dispatch native mobile app handlers.
1. Information We Collect
We deliberately minimize data collection to the absolute technical minimum required to operate edge redirect infrastructure reliably:
Destination URLs:
When you submit a URL to create a shortlink, we store the original web destination and extracted metadata (e.g. video ID or app scheme) to route incoming visitors correctly.
Ephemeral Routing Telemetry:
When someone clicks a shortlink, our edge server inspects standard HTTP headers (such as User-Agent to detect iOS vs Android) exclusively to dispatch the correct URI scheme. This information is processed in memory and not linked to individual identities.
Aggregate Performance Metrics:
We track high-level counters (e.g. click counts, general country/region) to prevent DDoS attacks, abuse, and platform spam.
2. How We Use Collected Data
We use the information we process solely for:
- Delivering instantaneous, low-latency deep link redirection to native smartphone applications.
- Maintaining edge server uptime, security, rate limiting, and DDoS prevention.
- Screening submitted URLs against industry-standard threat databases to block malware, phishing, and scam links.
3. Cookies & Local Storage
Links Waali does not use marketing or third-party tracking cookies. We utilize standard client-side localStorage exclusively for:
- Persisting your preferred interface theme (Light or Dark mode).
- Optionally storing your locally configured Creator Bio Hub profile on your device.
4. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade user data with advertising networks or brokers. We may only disclose data when legally required by applicable law, regulation, or court order to defend against malicious cyberattacks or fraudulent behavior.
5. Data Security & Retention
All communications with Links Waali are encrypted in transit using industry-standard TLS 1.3 encryption. Shortlink routing mappings are stored securely on global distributed edge infrastructure with automatic geo-redundancy.
6. Your Rights & Inquiries
Under GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy frameworks, you have the right to request deletion of any content or report abusive links. For any privacy-related inquiries or link removal requests, please reach out to our privacy compliance desk:
