Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 13, 2026 · Last Updated: February 13, 2026

y.hn (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the y.hn mobile application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

  • Email address
  • Name (optional)
  • Password (stored in hashed form)

1.2 Usage Data

We automatically collect:

  • Links you create, edit, and manage
  • Click analytics data on your short links (IP addresses, approximate geolocation, device type, browser, referrer)
  • App usage patterns and feature interactions
  • Device information (model, operating system version, unique device identifiers)

1.3 Clipboard Data

The App may read your clipboard to detect URLs for shortening. Clipboard data is processed locally and only used when you explicitly choose to shorten a detected link. We do not store or transmit clipboard contents beyond this purpose.

1.4 Payment Information

Subscriptions are processed through Apple's In-App Purchase system. We do not collect or store your payment card details. Apple handles all payment processing.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the App
  • Process your link shortening requests
  • Generate analytics and statistics for your short links
  • Send you service-related communications
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security threats
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. Analytics and Tracking

3.1 Link Analytics

When someone clicks your short link, we collect anonymous click data (approximate location, device, browser, referrer) to provide you with analytics. This data is associated with your links, not with the clicker's personal identity.

3.2 Third-Party Integrations

If you choose to enable integrations (Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager), those services will collect data according to their own privacy policies. Enabling these integrations is optional and under your control.

3.3 App Analytics

We may use anonymized, aggregated analytics to understand how the App is used and to improve our services.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

  • Service providers who assist in operating our infrastructure (hosting, CDN, email delivery)
  • Law enforcement or regulatory bodies when required by law or to protect our rights
  • Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, secure authentication, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

6. Data Retention

  • Account data is retained while your account is active
  • Link analytics data is retained according to your subscription plan
  • You may delete your links and account at any time
  • Upon account deletion, your personal data will be removed within 30 days, except where retention is required by law

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete your account and associated data
  • Export your link data
  • Opt out of non-essential communications
  • Withdraw consent for optional data processing

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@y.hn.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the App or by email. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
