Common privacy notice
This tool-specific layer supplements the Sorola controller privacy notice, which identifies the controller and explains legal bases, common technical data, recipients, transfers, retention and your rights.
1. Introduction
Sorola URL Shortener is a web tool and browser extension that creates public short links. This layer explains processing specific to that function.
2. Data Collection and Usage
The website sends the destination you provide to /api/shortener/create. The extension uses activeTab only after a click to read the active tab URL and send it to the same endpoint.
- Tool data: The tool does not send the content you process to analytics. Cookie-free site analytics are described below.
- Stored data: The destination URL, generated short identifier, creation time and click counter are retained so the link works and can be administered.
- Public access: A person opening the short link is redirected to the stored destination. URLs can contain personal data, so do not shorten URLs containing secrets or credentials.
- Retention: A link remains until administrator deletion or the processing need ends. A link disabled after a report may be retained for investigation or a legal claim but no longer redirects visitors.
3. Data Sharing and Third Parties
The destination is disclosed to Sorola's API service and to people using the short link. Technical processors and network-request data are described in the common notice. Data is not sold.
4. Security
The extension service communicates over encrypted HTTPS and does not load remote code into the extension. The separate website may load cookie-free analytics as described below.
5. Contact

Cookie-free site analytics
Google Tag Manager loads only Plausible Analytics. Plausible measures page views and form, outbound-link and download events without cookies or persistent visitor identifiers. Measurement may process the page URL, title, referrer, and browser/device information. Performance measurement uses only the product, a coarse page class, rounded Core Web Vitals, and a capped error count. Content you process in a tool is not intentionally added to analytics.
