To provide and improve the Service, including creating and shortening URLs, tracking clicks, and providing analytics.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in the following cases:
Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party companies that provide services to us, such as hosting providers, email service providers, or analytics providers. These providers are obligated to protect your information and use it solely for the purposes of providing services to us.
Advertising: If you choose to use our ad integration features (e.g., Google AdSense), the ad provider may collect data directly from you. We are not responsible for the practices of these third-party advertisers.
