Privacy Policy

The purpose of the ej.uz privacy policy is to provide the natural person - the data subject - with information about the purpose, scope, protection, and retention period of personal data processing at the time of data collection and when processing the data subject's personal data.

The ej.uz long link shortening service is operated by me, its creator - Eriks Remess. If you have questions about the processing of personal data, please contact me using the contacts listed below.

How and what personal data we collect

Personal data is any information by which you could be identified.

When visiting ej.uz, the web server log stores:

• visit time;
• your IP address;
• if you were redirected from a third-party website - its address.

In addition to entries in the web log:

• When creating a new short link, the short link database stores:
  • creation time;
  • your IP address;
  • the chosen or generated short link;
  • the provided long link.
• When visiting a previously created short link, the short link visit database stores:
  • visit time;
  • your IP address;
  • the visited short link;
  • if you were redirected from a third-party website - its address.

Why is the IP address stored?

• When creating a new short link, it is used to identify the user. It helps find other short links possibly created by the same user. If information is received that a short link leads to a website containing malware or phishing (stealing third-party access credentials), it is possible to quickly identify other similar links and block access to them.
• When visiting a short link or the home page, the IP address is used to register a unique visit.

Why is the address of a third-party website stored?

It is used to compile visit statistics. Short link visit statistics are available by appending + to the end of the short link URL.

How long is collected personal data stored?

Personal data is stored in the European Union (EU).

• Information entered in the web server log is deleted approximately one week after the entry is made.
• Created short links are not automatically deleted and do not have an expiration date.
• A created short link may be deleted if its creator has requested it.
• Access to a created short link is denied (blocked) if:
  • it leads to a website containing malware;
  • it leads to a phishing website (stealing third-party access credentials);
  • it leads to an online gambling website;
  • it is used in spam.
• Blocked short links are deleted three months after their creation. This period is chosen so that the short links cannot be recreated immediately after blocking and their creator cannot continue malicious activity.

What cookies are used and for what purposes?

• __Secure-cookieconsent - contains the cookie consent status;
• __Secure-locale - stores the user's selected language (locally);
• __Secure-csrf.s - protection against CSRF requests.

How can you manage your data?

Created short links can be edited or deleted by contacting me via Facebook Messenger (link available at the bottom right of the page) or by writing to eriks@apps.lv.
