1.1 Automatically Collected Information

When a short link is accessed, we automatically collect limited technical data, including:

• IP address

This data is required for analytics, fraud detection, abuse prevention, and accurate traffic measurement.

When you create an account, we collect:

• Name or display name (optional)
• Email address
• Encrypted password

We do not store plaintext passwords.

1.3 Advertising & Monetization Data

If ads are displayed during redirection, we may log ad impressions and interactions for reporting, fraud detection, and revenue attribution.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected data to:

• Operate and maintain the URL shortening service
• Detect abuse, spam, and fraudulent traffic
• Prevent automated or malicious usage
• Generate usage statistics and earnings reports

3. IP Monitoring & Fraud Prevention

To protect users, advertisers, and the platform, LKA.ovh actively monitors IP activity.

• Temporary or permanent IP blacklisting
• Automatic suspension of abusive links

Links found to distribute malware, phishing, scams, or policy violations may be disabled without notice.

4. Google Safe Browsing

LKA.ovh integrates Google Safe Browsing checks to identify malicious or unsafe destinations. URLs flagged by Safe Browsing may be blocked, warned, or removed.

5. CAPTCHA & Bot Protection

We use CAPTCHA systems (including reCAPTCHA or similar technologies) to:

• Prevent automated abuse
• Protect forms from bots
• Maintain fair traffic metrics

6. Reporting Abuse

Users and visitors may report suspicious or harmful links directly from the redirect page or by contacting:

Email: abuse@lka.ovh

All reports are reviewed, and appropriate action is taken.

7. Data Retention

We retain collected data only for as long as necessary to operate the service, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and comply with legal requirements.

We do not sell personal data.

Data may be shared only:

• When legally required
• To protect the rights and safety of LKA.ovh and its users
• With trusted service providers strictly for service operation

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect data, including encryption, access controls, and monitoring.

However, no system is 100% secure.
