Last updated: January 1, 2026

Welcome to theshortener.com (“Service”, “we”, “our”, “us”). By accessing or using our website, API, browser extensions, or related services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1. The Service

theshortener.com provides URL shortening, link management, analytics, API access, and related tools. Certain features may require account registration or a paid subscription.

2. Accounts and Authentication

To access certain features, you must create an account.

You may sign in using:

  • Email and password

  • Third-party authentication providers, including Twitter/X Login

When using third-party login:

  • We receive only the data permitted by the provider and authorized by you (such as Twitter/X user ID, username, display name, profile image, and email address if provided).

  • Although Twitter/X’s authorization process may technically indicate access to additional account data (including timeline content, protected posts, follow lists, mute or block lists, or account settings), we do not read, store, or use such data.

  • We use the received data solely for authentication, account creation, and account identification.

  • We do not post content, follow or unfollow accounts, send messages, or perform actions on your behalf on Twitter/X without your explicit permission.

Your use of third-party login is subject to the terms and policies of the authentication provider.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Engage in illegal, deceptive, or abusive activities
  • Distribute spam, phishing links, or malicious content
