Your privacy matters. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

LinkBypass (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a web-based tool that helps you quickly access content behind certain URL shorteners. Unless otherwise stated, we act as the data controller for personal information processed through this site: https://link-bypass.com/.
This page is intended for a U.S. audience. If you are located in the EEA/UK, see the “International & GDPR” section.
We may collect the categories of personal information listed below for the business purposes described. We do not “sell” personal information for money. We may “share” identifiers with analytics providers for cross-context behavioral advertising only if you consent (see “Cookies & Analytics” and “Your U.S. Privacy Rights”).
| Category (Examples) | Sources | Business Purposes | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers (IP address, cookie IDs) | Automatically from your device; analytics tools | Operate site; security/abuse prevention; basic analytics | For as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purposes |
| Internet/Network Activity (pages, timestamps, user-agent) | Automatically from your device; server logs | Operate/secure our services; debug; analytics | Limited time consistent with operations and security |
| User Submissions (URL you paste) | Directly from you | Provide the bypass functionality you request | Processed in real time and not retained longer than technically necessary |
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information; we do not create advertising profiles tied to your identity; and we do not sell your personal information.
Process the URL you submit and display the result you requested.
Maintain service integrity, detect misuse, and ensure availability.
Understand aggregated usage to improve performance and reliability.
Respond to messages you send us (e.g., via Discord).
For EEA/UK visitors, our GDPR bases include legitimate interests (operate, secure, measure) and, where required, consent for non-essential cookies.
We share information only as needed with service providers (e.g., hosting, security, analytics), with competent authorities when legally required, and via support channels when you contact us. We have no affiliation with the third-party shortener services referenced by users.
We use Google Analytics (via gtag.js) to produce aggregated statistics. IP anonymization is enabled (anonymize_ip: true). Depending on your jurisdiction, consent may be required before setting non-essential cookies. You can control cookies in your browser settings.
Depending on your state, you may have the right to: (i) know/access certain information; (ii) delete personal information; (iii) correct inaccuracies; (iv) opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and certain targeted advertising; and (v) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
We do not sell personal information for money. We may share identifiers with analytics providers; treat this as “sharing” under California law. You can opt out of such “sharing” by adjusting cookie/analytics preferences or blocking analytics cookies (see “Cookies & Analytics”).
To submit a request (access, delete, correct, or opt-out), contact us via our Discord. We may take reasonable steps to verify your request. You may use an authorized agent subject to verification.
California “Shine the Light”: we do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
If you are in the EEA/UK, you have rights under the GDPR, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability. When processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time (without affecting prior processing). Some providers (e.g., analytics) may process data outside your country; appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) may apply.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards (encryption in transit, access controls, limited logging) to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.
Our services are for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Questions or requests? Reach us on Discord. If your request concerns privacy rights, please indicate your state/country of residence and the nature of your request.
We may update this policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. The effective date appears at the top of this page. Material changes will be highlighted reasonably.
