Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the operator of Qurl ("we", "us") collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data when you use our websites, applications, and services at thequrl.com (the "Service").

We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR where those laws apply to you. Capitalised terms used in data-protection contexts follow the meanings in those laws unless defined here.

If you have questions, contact us at support@thequrl.com.

We may collect the following categories of information:

We use personal data to provide, maintain, and secure the Service; authenticate users; process payments; display analytics dashboards; detect abuse and protect users; comply with law; and communicate with you about the Service, including transactional notices and—where permitted—product updates.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your destination URLs for unsolicited marketing to your end users.

Where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

We share personal data with service providers who process it on our instructions ("processors"), including:

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure basic product usage, and protect against abuse.

Where required, we will obtain consent before using non-essential cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may limit parts of the Service.

We retain personal data for as long as your Account is active or as needed to provide the Service. We may retain certain records longer where required by law, for billing and tax compliance, or to resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

Aggregated or de-identified information may be retained for analytics and product improvement.

We implement technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including encryption in transit, access controls, and separation of production environments. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; we encourage you to use strong passwords and protect your credentials.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal data, and to data portability where applicable. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise rights, contact support@thequrl.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling requests.

Your short links may redirect visitors to third-party websites. This policy does not govern those sites. We advise visitors to review privacy notices on destinations they open.

If you use the Service in connection with individuals in the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, you are responsible for providing any required notices to those individuals and for obtaining consent where required for your own use cases beyond our processing as a service provider to you.

We may process and store data in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, the United States, or other countries where we or our subprocessors operate. Where we transfer personal data from the UK or EEA to countries not recognised as adequate, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities, supplemented where appropriate by additional measures.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Where changes materially affect how we use personal data, we will provide additional notice as required by law.

For privacy enquiries or requests, contact support@thequrl.com.

If we appoint a data protection officer or EU/UK representative, we will publish updated contact details on this page.
