Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 4, 2025

Global Ads Media, LLC ("us", "we", or "our") operates the 1url.my website (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

Information Collection and Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

• URLs: When you use the Service to shorten a URL, we collect the original long URL and generate a corresponding short URL (or use the custom alias you provide).
• Optional Information: If you use advanced features, we may collect the password you set for a link (stored securely using hashing) and the expiration date/time you set.
• Analytics Data (Usage Data): When a short link generated by our Service is accessed, we automatically collect certain information ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data includes:
  • The Internet Protocol (IP) address of the visitor.
  • Browser type, browser version, operating system, and device type (derived from the User-Agent string).
  • The referring web page (Referrer).
  • The date and time of the access (Timestamp).
  • Approximate geographical location (Country, Region, City) derived from the IP address using a third-party service (currently ip-api.com). We do not collect precise geolocation data.
• Contact Information: If you contact us via email, we collect your email address and any information you provide in your message to respond to your inquiry.

Use of Data

Global Ads Media, LLC uses the collected data for various purposes:

• To provide and maintain the Service (URL shortening and redirection).
• To provide optional features like password protection and link expiration.
• To provide analytics and usage statistics for shortened links to the link creators (accessible via the "Link Stats" page).
• To monitor the usage of the Service and detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse (e.g., spam, malicious links).
• To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data (If applicable, e.g., GDPR)

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it. We may process your Personal Data because:

• We need to perform a contract with you (provide the Service).
• You have given us permission to do so.
• The processing is in our legitimate interests (e.g., providing analytics, security) and it's not overridden by your rights.
• To comply with the law.

Data Retention

We will retain your URL data and associated analytics data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including providing the Service and complying with our legal obligations. Shortened links and their analytics may be deleted after a period of inactivity or if they violate our Terms and Conditions.

Transfer of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

Global Ads Media, LLC will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Disclosure of Data

We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• To comply with a legal obligation (e.g., court order, subpoena).
• To protect and defend the rights or property of Global Ads Media, LLC.
• To prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service.
• To protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public.
• To protect against legal liability.

Third-Party Services

• GeoIP Lookup: We use ip-api.com (or similar services) to derive approximate geolocation from IP addresses for analytics. These services have their own privacy policies. We do not share other personal data with them beyond the IP address needed for the lookup.
• Hosting Providers: Our Service is hosted by third-party providers. These providers may have access to server logs which could include IP addresses.

Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data (such as hashing passwords), we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., California, EEA), you may have certain data protection rights. These may include the right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
