Privacy Policy

Welcome to DLink ("we", "our", "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit dlink.fun and use our URL shortening and link monetization services. By using DLink, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide when you register, create short links, or request a payout, as well as information automatically collected during your use of the service.

• Account data: name, email address, profile picture, and a Firebase user identifier when you sign in with Google.
• Link data: the destination URLs you submit, generated short codes, click counts, timestamps, and per-link earnings.
• Payout data: UPI ID or cryptocurrency wallet address, and the amount requested for withdrawal.
• Usage data: approximate referral source, browser user-agent, and aggregated click analytics.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

DLink uses cookies and local browser storage (including localStorage and sessionStorage) to remember your preferences such as theme, accent color, and pending actions. These are strictly for functionality and do not track you across unrelated websites.

We also allow third-party advertising networks to place cookies and similar technologies on your device. These technologies help us and our partners serve relevant advertisements, measure campaign performance, and prevent fraud.

3. Third-Party Advertising (Adsterra)

DLink is monetized through third-party advertising, primarily via Adsterra and its partner networks (including profitableratecpmnetwork.com and highperformanceformat.com). When you click a monetized short link, you may be served advertisements in the form of iframe banners, social bar units, popunders, or interstitial content.

Adsterra and its partners may collect information such as your IP address, device identifiers, browser type, and approximate location to deliver and measure ads. This collection is governed by Adsterra's own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review. We do not have direct control over the data practices of third-party advertisers.

4. How We Use Your Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the DLink platform.
• To track link clicks and credit your account with the correct earnings.
• To process payout requests and prevent fraudulent activity.
• To communicate with you about your account, updates, or support requests.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

5. Data Sharing

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

• Service providers: Firebase (Google) for authentication and Firestore database services.
• Advertising partners: Adsterra and its sub-networks for ad delivery and monetization.
• Legal authorities: when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of DLink, our users, or the public.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and link data for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide services and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account by contacting us at the email address below.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including HTTPS transport, Firebase's built-in authentication and Firestore security rules, to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

DLink is not intended for individuals under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (for example, under GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact Us page.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of DLink after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of DLink (dlink.fun) and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use DLink.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) and capable of entering into a binding contract to use DLink. If you use DLink on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Your Account

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
• You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.
• You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use DLink to:

• Shorten, redirect to, or distribute links to malware, phishing pages, scams, or fraudulent content.
• Distribute content that is illegal, defamatory, hateful, sexually explicit, or that infringes third-party intellectual property rights.
• Send unsolicited bulk messages (spam), including via email, SMS, or social media.
• Artificially inflate click counts, earnings, referral counts, or otherwise manipulate the Service's monetization systems (including click bots or paid-to-click abuse).
• Bypass, disable, or interfere with security features, rate limits, or ad delivery systems.
• Use the Service to violate any applicable law or regulation.

4. Link Content & Ownership

You retain ownership of the destination URLs you submit. You grant DLink a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, and redirect traffic to those URLs in order to operate the Service. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the URLs and that they do not violate any third-party rights.

5. Earnings, Payouts & Referrals

• Standard link clicks are compensated at the rate published on the Home dashboard (currently $0.0001 per verified click on ad-monetized links).
• Referral commissions are paid at 10% of a referred user's lifetime link earnings.
• Minimum payout threshold is $10.00 USD. Payouts are processed manually within a reasonable timeframe after a valid request.
• We reserve the right to withhold, reverse, or cancel earnings and payouts that we determine, in our reasonable discretion, were obtained through fraud, abuse, invalid traffic, or violation of these Terms.
• Earnings rates and payout minimums may be adjusted with notice.

6. Pro Subscription

DLink offers an optional "Pro" subscription that unlocks custom aliases, instant redirect, ad-wall control, and enhanced analytics. Pro is billed annually. Activation requires manual verification of payment; a request marked "Under Review" is not a guarantee of activation. Pro fees are non-refundable except where required by law.

7. Third-Party Ads & Monetization

Standard links are monetized by third-party ad networks (primarily Adsterra). By creating a standard link, you consent to the display of these ads on the redirect interstitial. You acknowledge that ad content is controlled by the networks and that DLink is not responsible for the content of third-party advertisements.

8. Service Availability

DLink is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, and we may suspend, modify, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without prior notice, including due to maintenance, security, or third-party outages.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to DLink at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law. You may delete your account at any time from the Settings page. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately; sections relating to liability, indemnity, and governing law survive.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DLink disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that the Service will meet your requirements or be error-free.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DLink and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or relating to your use of the Service. Our aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) $10 USD.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DLink, its operators, and affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your content, or your breach of these Terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which DLink operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved in the competent courts of that jurisdiction.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of DLink after changes constitutes acceptance.
