SeeMyShare.com (“SeeMyShare,” “the Service,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides URL shortening, link sharing, QR code generation, click tracking, link analytics, redirect management, and related link-management services.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, store, disclose, and protect information when you:
- visit SeeMyShare.com;
- create or manage an account;
- create or manage shortened links;
- generate QR codes;
- click or access a SeeMyShare link;
- use link analytics or other Service features;
- submit an abuse or safety report;
- contact customer support;
- otherwise interact with the Service.
This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service, Report Abuse & Safety Policy, Cookie Policy where applicable, and any additional privacy notices presented when information is collected.
By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Where consent is required by applicable law, we will request consent separately where appropriate.
1. Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with SeeMyShare.
We may collect information directly from you, automatically through your use of the Service, from third-party service providers, and from security, abuse-reporting, or legal sources.
1.1 Account Information

- account creation date;
- verification status;
- login history;
- account status;
- suspension or enforcement status;
- other information you choose to provide.
We do not intentionally store account passwords in plain text.
Passwords and authentication credentials should be processed using appropriate technical security measures.
If additional verification is required for security, fraud prevention, paid features, or abuse prevention, we may request or process additional verification information.
1.2 Link and Destination Information
When you create, manage, modify, or use a SeeMyShare link, we may collect:
- original destination URL;

- link metadata;
- QR-code information;
- link creation date and time;
- destination changes;
- expiration settings;
- link status;
- redirect configuration;
- associated account;
- campaign or project information;
- tags or notes you provide;
- link-management settings;

Link status information may include whether a link is:
- active;
- expired;
- restricted;
- under review;
- suspended;
- blocked;
- deleted;
- associated with an enforcement action.
Because SeeMyShare operates a redirect service, destination URLs and redirect chains are an essential part of the Service and may be processed for operational, analytics, security, and abuse-prevention purposes.
1.3 Information Collected When a SeeMyShare Link Is Clicked
When anyone clicks or accesses a SeeMyShare shortened URL or QR-code destination, we may automatically collect technical and analytics information.
This may occur even if the visitor does not have a SeeMyShare account.
Information may include:
- IP address;
- date and time of access;
- shortened URL requested;
- destination URL;
- redirect information;
- referrer URL;
- browser type;
- browser version;

- city or approximate locality;
- network information;
- bot or crawler indicators;
- security signals;
- request headers;
- click identifiers;
- traffic source information;
- redirect result;
- error information;

Some analytics information may be made available to the authorized creator or manager of a link according to the functionality of the Service.
1.4 Approximate Location Information
We may derive approximate location information from an IP address.
This may include:
- country;
- state or region;
- city or approximate locality;
- time zone.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, SeeMyShare does not require precise GPS location information in order to operate ordinary URL-shortening and click-analytics functionality.
IP-derived location data may be approximate and may be inaccurate when visitors use VPNs, proxies, mobile networks, corporate networks, privacy services, or similar technologies.

We may use these signals individually or together to identify links or accounts that may violate our Terms of Service or Report Abuse & Safety Policy.
1.6 Associated Account and Repeat-Abuse Information
Where reasonably necessary to prevent serious abuse or circumvention of enforcement, we may analyze whether accounts, links, destinations, or activity appear to be associated.
Signals used for this purpose may include:
- email addresses;
- IP addresses;
- login patterns;
- device or browser characteristics;
- destination domains;
- redirect infrastructure;
- account activity;
- link patterns;
- timestamps;
- technical identifiers;
- previous enforcement records;
- other reasonably relevant abuse-prevention indicators.
This processing may help us identify users attempting to evade suspension or termination by creating replacement accounts, changing email addresses, switching domains, or using other technical means.
We do not guarantee that automated or technical signals will always correctly identify a relationship between accounts.
1.7 Abuse and Safety Reports
When you report a suspicious or abusive link, we may collect:
- your email address;
- your name, if provided;
- the SeeMyShare shortened URL;
- destination URL;
- description of the reported activity;
- screenshots;
- emails or messages;
- documents or evidence;
- timestamps;
- information contained in submitted files;
- technical information associated with the report;
- communications between you and SeeMyShare.
You are not required to provide more information than reasonably necessary to submit an abuse report.
Where possible, avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive personal information about yourself or another person.
We may retain reports and related evidence for security, enforcement, legal, fraud-prevention, or public-safety purposes.
1.8 Support and Communications

We may use cookies, local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and similar technologies.
These technologies may be used to:
- keep users logged in;
- authenticate accounts;
- maintain security;
- remember preferences;

- improve reliability.
Some cookies may be necessary for the operation and security of the Service.
Other cookies or similar technologies may be subject to consent requirements depending on your location and the nature of the technology.
Additional information may be provided in our Cookie Policy or cookie-consent interface where applicable.

In limited circumstances involving serious threats to life or physical safety, information may be processed where necessary to protect vital interests, subject to applicable law.
4. Automated Systems, Risk Signals, and Abuse Detection
SeeMyShare may use automated systems to assist in detecting:
- spam;
- phishing;
- scams;
- malware;
- suspicious redirects;
- pornography or sexually explicit destinations;
- cloaking;

These systems may generate:
- classifications;
- warnings;
- reputation indicators;
- risk scores;
- automated flags;
- recommendations for review.
Automated detection is not guaranteed to be accurate.
Depending on the nature and severity of the risk, automated systems may contribute to:
- blocking a link;
- delaying publication;
- restricting traffic;
- requiring verification;
- placing an account under review;
- other security actions.
Where applicable law provides rights relating to solely automated decisions or profiling, we will provide applicable protections and methods to exercise those rights.
Serious abuse may also be reviewed manually.
5. How We Disclose Information
We do not disclose personal information except as described in this Policy, as directed by the individual, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
5.1 Service Providers and Contractors
We may provide information to vendors and service providers that assist with:
- hosting;
- cloud infrastructure;

- malware scanning;
- phishing detection;
- analytics;
- payment processing;
- customer support;
- monitoring;
- backup;
- technical operations.
These providers may process information as necessary to perform services for SeeMyShare and subject to applicable contractual and legal restrictions.
5.2 Link Analytics
Certain click or traffic information may be provided to an authorized link creator or account holder through SeeMyShare analytics functionality.
The information available may depend on the Service features in use and may include statistics concerning:
- clicks;
- approximate geography;
- referrers;
- browsers;
- devices;
- operating systems;

We seek to limit disclosures to information reasonably relevant to the situation.
5.4 Child-Safety Matters
Where we become aware of suspected child sexual exploitation or child sexual abuse material, we may preserve and disclose relevant information to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (“NCMEC”), law-enforcement authorities, or other appropriate organizations as required or permitted by applicable law.
5.5 Legal Process and Government Requests
We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required or permitted to:

5.6 Business Transactions
If SeeMyShare becomes involved in a:
- merger;
- acquisition;
- financing;
- restructuring;
- sale of assets;
- change of control;
- bankruptcy;
- similar corporate transaction,
information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
5.7 With Your Direction or Consent
We may disclose information when you specifically direct or authorize us to do so.
6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
SeeMyShare does not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging personal information for money.
Some privacy laws, including California law, may define the terms “sale” or “sharing” more broadly than an exchange for money.
Certain third-party advertising, analytics, tracking, or similar technologies, if used, may potentially qualify as a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law depending on how the technology operates and the contractual relationships involved.
Where SeeMyShare engages in activity legally considered a sale or sharing of personal information, we will provide applicable notices and opt-out mechanisms as required by law.
Where required by applicable law, we will also recognize qualifying opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), for applicable processing.
7. Cookies, Tracking Technologies, and Privacy Signals
SeeMyShare may use cookies and similar technologies for:
- essential functionality;
- authentication;
- security;
- fraud prevention;
- abuse prevention;
- preferences;
- analytics;
- performance measurement.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies or tracking technologies will be subject to applicable consent or opt-out requirements.
7.1 Global Privacy Control
Where applicable privacy law requires us to recognize a qualifying opt-out preference signal, such as GPC, we will process the signal as required by applicable law.
7.2 Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal.
Because there is no universally applicable technical standard governing all DNT signals, SeeMyShare may not respond to DNT signals unless required by applicable law.
DNT is separate from legally recognized opt-out preference mechanisms such as GPC.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, its purpose, the sensitivity of the information, security considerations, and applicable law.
8.1 Account Information
Account information may be retained while an account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward where necessary for:
- account administration;
- support;
- fraud prevention;
- dispute resolution;
- security;
- enforcement;
- legal compliance.
8.2 Link Information
Link and destination information may be retained while a link remains active and for a reasonable period afterward for:
- link management;
- analytics;
- security;
- abuse prevention;
- dispute resolution;
- enforcement.
8.3 Click and Analytics Information
Click logs and analytics information may be retained for a limited period necessary to:
- provide analytics;
- prevent fraud;
- investigate abuse;
- maintain security;
- troubleshoot the Service;
- protect infrastructure.
We may retain aggregated or de-identified statistics for longer periods where permitted by law.
8.4 Abuse and Enforcement Records
Information associated with serious abuse may be retained for longer than ordinary account or link information where reasonably necessary to:
- investigate abuse;
- identify repeat offenders;
- prevent re-registration;
- prevent circumvention of enforcement;
- protect users;
- protect SeeMyShare domains;
- respond to legal claims;
- comply with legal obligations;
- preserve relevant evidence.
8.5 Deleted or Terminated Accounts
Termination of an account or deletion of a publicly accessible link does not necessarily result in the immediate deletion of every internal record associated with that account or link.
We may retain limited information reasonably necessary for:
- fraud prevention;
- cybersecurity;
- abuse prevention;
- repeat-offender detection;
- enforcement of previous suspensions or terminations;
- legal compliance;
- dispute resolution.
A user may not use a privacy or deletion request as a means to require SeeMyShare to erase information that applicable law permits or requires us to retain for security, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, legal claims, or similar purposes.
9. Data Minimization and De-Identification
Where reasonably practical, we seek to limit personal information to what is appropriate for the purposes for which it is processed.
We may aggregate or de-identify information so that it no longer reasonably identifies an individual.
We may use and retain aggregated or de-identified information for:
- analytics;
- security research;
- Service improvement;
- abuse prevention;
- statistical purposes.
Where required by law, we will not attempt to re-identify information that has been maintained as de-identified except as permitted for testing the effectiveness of de-identification or as otherwise permitted by law.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.
Measures may include, where appropriate:
- access controls;
- authentication controls;
- encrypted communications;
- password hashing;
- logging;
- monitoring;
- backups;
- fraud detection;
- abuse detection;
- security reviews;
- infrastructure protections.
However, no Internet-based service, database, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We therefore cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, loss, or destruction will never occur.
Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their account credentials.
If you believe your account has been compromised, contact:
Where applicable law requires notification of a qualifying personal-data breach, we will provide notifications in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
11. Privacy of Abuse Reporters
We understand that people reporting phishing, fraud, pornography, malware, impersonation, or other abuse may have privacy or safety concerns.
We generally seek to avoid disclosing an abuse reporter's identity to the reported user unless:
- disclosure is necessary to investigate or resolve the report;
- the reporter authorizes disclosure;
- disclosure is required by law;
- disclosure is necessary in legal proceedings;
- another legitimate and lawful reason requires disclosure.
We cannot guarantee complete anonymity or confidentiality.
If you have serious concerns about disclosure of your identity, state that concern when submitting the report and avoid providing unnecessary identifying information.
12. Public Links and Third-Party Destinations
A SeeMyShare shortened URL may redirect to a website or service that is operated independently from SeeMyShare.
When a visitor leaves SeeMyShare and connects to a third-party destination, that third party may independently collect information such as:
- IP address;
- cookies;
- browser information;
- account information;
- payment information;
- other personal information.
SeeMyShare does not control third-party privacy practices.
This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of third-party destination websites.
You should review the privacy policies of third-party destinations before providing personal information.
13. International Data Transfers
SeeMyShare may use infrastructure, service providers, or systems located in the United States and other countries.
As a result, personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries other than the country where you live.
Those countries may have privacy or data-protection laws that differ from the laws in your jurisdiction.
Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we will use appropriate transfer mechanisms or safeguards as required.
These may include, where appropriate:
- adequacy decisions;
- standard contractual clauses;
- contractual protections;
- other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
14. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have some or all of the following rights:
- the right to know whether we process your personal information;
- the right to access personal information;

Please clearly identify the type of request you are making.
Depending on the nature of the request, we may need to verify your identity before disclosing, correcting, or deleting personal information.
Verification measures are intended to prevent an unauthorized person from obtaining or deleting another person's information.
We may ask for information reasonably necessary to:
- identify your account;
- locate relevant records;
- verify the request;
- protect account security.
We will not require more information than reasonably necessary for verification.

- restrict or terminate the account;
- delete information where appropriate;
- retain information where legally required or reasonably necessary for child safety, security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to SeeMyShare, contact:
This section does not limit our separate obligations concerning child sexual exploitation or child-safety reports.
20. Privacy Requests and Abuse Prevention
Privacy rights are important, but privacy mechanisms must not be used to facilitate fraud or evade legitimate security enforcement.
Where permitted by law, we may decline, limit, or defer a privacy request to the extent necessary to:
- detect security incidents;
- prevent fraud;
- prevent malicious activity;
- prevent repeat abuse;
- enforce account suspensions;
- protect against illegal activity;
- preserve evidence;
- comply with law;
- establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
- protect the rights and safety of others.
For example, termination of an account for phishing, malware, pornography, fraud, or another serious violation does not necessarily require us to immediately erase every security record associated with that account.
Where information is retained following such a request, we seek to limit retention to information reasonably necessary for the permitted purpose.
21. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When appropriate, we may provide notice by:
- posting the revised Privacy Policy;
- updating the “Last Updated” date;
- providing a notice through the Service;
- sending an email;
- using another reasonable method.
Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent for a material change in processing, we will provide that notice or obtain consent as required.
The revised Privacy Policy becomes effective on the date stated in the revised version.
