  • Account Information: If you sign up for an account (optional, for shortening URLs and saving creations), we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials (securely managed via Clerk and Google Sign-In).
  • Shortened URL Analytics: For links shortened through our service, we track basic anonymous metrics such as click count, referring source, and timestamp to display click statistics in your dashboard.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for various purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and improve our QR Generator and Link Shortener.
