Apelinks.ai Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 July 2026

Apelinks.ai (“Apelinks.ai,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website located at https://apelinks.ai, the Apelinks.ai platform, and the Apelinks.ai Chrome extension, collectively referred to as the “Service.”

Apelinks.ai is operated from Larnaca, Cyprus. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use and protect it, when it may be shared, and the rights available to you.

1. Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies when you:

  1. Visit or use https://apelinks.ai.

  4. Billing address and other billing information.

Please do not upload or submit information that you do not have the right to process.

Usage, device and analytics information

When you access the Service, our servers may automatically record:

  1. IP address.
  2. Browser and device type.
  3. Operating system.
  4. User agent.
  5. Language and approximate location derived from your IP address.

Apelinks.ai also provides analytics for links and pages created by its users. Depending on the settings selected by the page owner, this may include page views, clicks, referrers, countries or cities, device types, browsers, languages, operating systems and UTM information.

Payment information

Payments may be processed by an external payment provider. Payment providers may collect your payment-card or other financial information directly.

Apelinks.ai does not normally receive or store your complete payment-card number. We may receive limited transaction information, such as:

  1. Customer name and email address.
  2. Billing address.
  3. Payment status.
  4. Subscription or plan details.
  5. Transaction identifier.
  6. Invoice and tax information.

The payment provider processes payment information under its own privacy policy.

3. Apelinks.ai Chrome extension

The Apelinks.ai Chrome extension allows an authenticated user to create, copy and manage Apelinks.ai short links directly from Chrome.

The extension handles the following limited data:

API key

Your Apelinks.ai API key is stored locally using Chrome’s local extension storage. It is transmitted securely to Apelinks.ai only when necessary to authenticate an API request.

The API key is not used for advertising or unrelated profiling.

URLs submitted for shortening

The extension processes a URL only when you deliberately:

  1. Enter or paste the URL into the extension.
  2. Select the extension’s shortening function.
  3. Right-click a hyperlink and choose “Shorten with Apelinks.ai.”

The selected URL is sent to the Apelinks.ai API so the short link can be created and stored in your account.

The extension does not monitor or collect your general browsing history and does not process every webpage you visit.

Locally stored extension information

The extension may store locally:

  1. Your Apelinks.ai API key.
  2. Extension preferences.
  3. Recently created links or information needed to display them.
  4. Information needed to maintain the extension’s connection to your account.

You can remove locally stored extension information by disconnecting the extension, clearing the extension’s storage or uninstalling the extension.

Chrome permissions

The extension uses Chrome permissions only to provide its stated link-shortening functions, including:

  1. Storing extension settings.
  2. Adding the Apelinks.ai right-click menu.
  3. Copying short links to the clipboard.
  4. Displaying success or error notifications.
  5. Communicating securely with https://apelinks.ai.

The extension does not download or execute remote code. Its executable code is included in the extension package submitted to the Chrome Web Store.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use disclosure

The Apelinks.ai Chrome extension’s use of information complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Data handled through the extension is used only to provide and improve its disclosed link-shortening and link-management functionality, maintain security, prevent abuse and provide user support.

We do not sell extension user data, use it for personalized advertising, use it to determine creditworthiness or transfer it for purposes unrelated to the extension’s disclosed functionality.

4. How we use personal data

We may use personal data to:

  1. Create and maintain user accounts.
  2. Provide the features and functions requested by users.
  3. Create, redirect, manage and analyse links.
  4. Authenticate API and Chrome-extension requests.
  5. Process subscriptions, payments, invoices and refunds.
  6. Provide customer service and technical support.
  7. Send important account, service and security notices.
  8. Send marketing communications where permitted or where consent has been provided.
  9. Detect fraud, misuse, spam, attacks and security incidents.
  10. Monitor and improve the stability and performance of the Service.
  11. Enforce our Terms of Service.
  12. Comply with tax, accounting and other legal obligations.
  13. Establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Legal bases for processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

  1. Performance of a contract: Processing required to create your account and provide the Service.
  2. Legitimate interests: Operating, securing, improving and protecting Apelinks.ai, preventing abuse and responding to support enquiries.
  3. Consent: Optional cookies, marketing communications, browser notifications and other processing for which consent is requested.
  4. Legal obligation: Processing required by tax, accounting, fraud-prevention or other applicable laws.
  5. Legal claims: Processing necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

6. Content collected by Apelinks.ai users

Apelinks.ai allows users to create pages, forms, links and other resources that may collect information from their visitors.

For information that an Apelinks.ai customer chooses to collect through their own pages:

  1. The customer generally determines why and how that information is collected.
  2. The customer is responsible for providing an appropriate privacy notice and obtaining any required consent.
  3. Apelinks.ai processes the information to provide the Service on the customer’s behalf.

If you submitted information through a page created by an Apelinks.ai user, you should normally contact that page owner first regarding access, correction or deletion requests.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

Apelinks.ai may use cookies, local storage and similar technologies for:

  1. Signing users into their accounts.
  2. Maintaining sessions and security.
  3. Remembering preferences.
  4. Preventing fraud and abuse.
  5. Measuring performance and usage.
  6. Providing optional analytics or integrations.
  7. Managing consent and browser-notification preferences.

Where legally required, optional cookies and tracking technologies will be used only after consent has been obtained.

Apelinks.ai users may add third-party analytics or tracking pixels to pages they create. These technologies are controlled by the page owner and the relevant third-party provider.

8. Browser notifications and communications

If you opt in to browser push notifications, we may send service information, helpful content or promotional messages. You can disable these notifications through your browser or device settings.

You may unsubscribe from non-essential marketing emails using the unsubscribe option included in the message. We may still send essential service, billing or security communications.

9. How personal data may be shared

We may share personal data only where necessary with:

  1. Hosting, infrastructure and security providers.
  2. Payment and subscription processors.
  3. Email-delivery and customer-support providers.
  4. Analytics providers used to operate or improve the Service.
  5. Service providers acting under our instructions.
  6. Third-party services or integrations deliberately enabled by the user.
  7. Professional advisers, auditors or insurers.
  8. Public authorities where disclosure is legally required.
  9. A purchaser or successor in connection with a merger, financing, reorganisation or sale of the business.

Service providers are permitted to process personal data only for the services they provide to us and subject to appropriate contractual or legal safeguards.

We do not sell personal data.

10. International data transfers

Some providers may process information outside Cyprus or the European Economic Area.

Where required, we use legally recognised safeguards for international transfers, such as adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses or other measures permitted under applicable data-protection law.

11. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

In general:

  1. Account information is kept while an account remains active.
  2. Links, pages, uploaded content and other resources are retained until deleted by the user or the account is closed, subject to backups and legal requirements.
  3. Link and page analytics are retained according to the applicable plan and configured statistics-retention period.
  4. Security and access logs are generally retained for a limited period unless needed longer to investigate abuse or an incident.
  5. Extension data stored locally remains until it is cleared or the extension is uninstalled.
  6. Support records may be retained while necessary to resolve the request and maintain an appropriate record.
  7. Billing, invoice and transaction records are retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting laws.

We may retain limited information for longer where required by law, to resolve disputes, prevent fraud or enforce agreements.

12. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards intended to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.

However, no online service or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users are responsible for protecting their passwords and API keys and should not share these credentials with unauthorised persons.

13. Your data-protection rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

  1. Request access to your personal data.
  2. Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
  3. Request deletion of your personal data.
  4. Request restriction of processing.
  5. Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  6. Withdraw consent.
  7. Receive certain information in a portable format.
  8. Request transmission of eligible information to another organisation.
  9. Lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority.
  10. Not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects, where applicable.

Rights may be subject to legal conditions and exceptions.

We will not normally charge a fee for a reasonable request. A reasonable fee may be charged, or a request may be refused, where legally permitted because it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

14. Account and data deletion

Users can delete individual links and resources through their Apelinks.ai account.

To request account deletion or deletion of personal data that cannot be removed through the account dashboard, contact us through:

https://apelinks.ai/contact

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained where required for billing, tax, security, fraud-prevention or legal purposes.

15. Children’s privacy

Apelinks.ai is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children under 16 without legally valid authorisation.

If you believe a child has provided personal data without appropriate permission, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

16. Third-party websites and integrations

The Service contains links to third-party websites and may allow users to enable external integrations.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. When you visit or use another service, its own privacy policy applies.

17. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Service, legal requirements or our data-handling practices.

The current version will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Where changes are material, we may also provide an additional notice through the Service or by email.
