Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect:

• Account data: email, name, and password (hashed) when you sign up
• Usage data: links you create, custom slugs, and how you use the dashboard
• Click analytics: count and timing of clicks on your shortened links; we may use IP address for geolocation (e.g., country/region) but do not store IP long-term for identification

Payment details are processed by Stripe; we do not store full card numbers.

2. How We Use Information

We use your information to provide the Service (shortening URLs, generating AI slugs, showing analytics), to process payments, to improve our product and infrastructure, and to communicate with you about your account or important changes. We do not sell your personal information.

3. AI Processing

When you shorten a URL, our AI may analyze the destination page content to generate a human-readable slug. We do not permanently store the full content of destination pages. Only the URL, slug, and related metadata are retained as needed to provide the Service and analytics.

4. Cookies

We use session cookies to keep you logged in and to maintain your preferences. We may use optional analytics cookies to understand how the site is used; you can manage cookie preferences in your browser. Essential cookies are required for the Service to function.

5. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third parties to operate the Service:

• Stripe — payment processing
• Vercel — hosting and deployment
• MongoDB Atlas — database and data storage
• Anthropic — AI processing for slug generation
• Google Analytics (if enabled) — site analytics

Each provider has its own privacy and data handling practices; we choose providers that meet our standards for security and privacy.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and link data while your account is active. If you delete your account or request deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal data in accordance with our retention policy. Some data may be retained where required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., fraud prevention).

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data. You can export your links and account data from the dashboard or by contacting us. To exercise these rights or request deletion, contact us at hello@dashdig.com. We will respond within a reasonable time as required by applicable law.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Security

We use encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest where applicable. We rely on secure infrastructure and follow industry practices to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security but we take reasonable steps to safeguard your information.

10. Changes to Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. For material changes that affect how we use your personal information, we will notify you by email (to the address associated with your account) or by a prominent notice on the site.
