01The short version
- No email is needed to use paged.cc. You sign up with a username and a private seed, or with Discord.
- We don't sell your data and we don't use advertising or tracking cookies on our own pages.
- Click and view counts are totals. We don't keep a record of who clicked.
- Ad links (
paged.cc/a/…) show ads from third-party partners that have their own privacy policies.
02What we collect
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Account details | Your username and login details, so you can sign in. Your seed is stored securely and can't be recovered by us. |
| Discord profile | If you log in with Discord: your Discord ID, username, display name and avatar, to log you in and show your profile. |
| Your content | The links, bio pages and texts you create, so we can show them to the people who open them. |
| Usage totals | How many times your links, pages and texts were opened, shown in your dashboard. |
| Plan details | Your plan and basic account dates, to apply the right limits. |
| Publisher data | For publishers: views on your ad links and recorded payouts, to calculate your balance. |
| Messages you send us | What you send through /advertise (name, email and your request), so we can reply. |
| Technical data | Limited technical information, such as a protected form of your IP address, used briefly to prevent abuse and spam. |
03Logging in with Discord
When you continue with Discord, Discord asks you to allow us to see your basic profile and to add you to the official paged.cc Discord server. Both permissions are shown on Discord's screen before you accept. We never see your Discord password or email.
05Ads on ad links
Ad links (paged.cc/a/…) show a short sponsored page before the destination. Ads there may come from third-party advertising partners, who may use cookies or similar technology and collect information such as your IP address and device, under their own privacy policies.
Normal short links, bio pages and texts don't show these ads.
06Who we share data with
We don't sell personal data. We only share it with services that help us run paged.cc:
- providers that host and store the site;
- Discord, if you choose to log in with it;
- advertising partners on ad links, as described above;
- authorities, if the law requires it.
07How long we keep data
- Accounts, links and bio pages stay until you or we delete them.
- Texts stop being available when they expire and are then deleted. Texts set to “never expire” stay until deleted.
- Technical data used against abuse is kept only for a short time.
- Messages you send us are kept while we handle them.
- Apps where you share links (Discord, Telegram…) may keep their own preview after something is deleted.
08Your choices and rights
You can see and manage your links, pages and texts in your dashboard. To get a copy of your data, correct it, or delete your account, contact us on Discord. Depending on where you live (for example the EU or UK), you may also have the right to object to some processing and to complain to your data protection authority.
paged.cc isn't meant for children under 13.
09Changes and contact
If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top. For any privacy question, reach us on Discord.
