About Our Service

At 4 Lin, we believe in providing a useful service with a clean, simple, and respectful approach to our users.

Our Simple Mission

Our mission is straightforward: to help you shorten your URLs in seconds. We built this tool to be fast, reliable, and free of unnecessary complexity. We are committed to keeping it that way.

Our Core Privacy-First Philosophy

Our approach to your privacy is a defining part of who we are. As detailed in our Privacy Policy, our core principle is simple: we do not collect or store any personal user information ourselves.

No Accounts, No Tracking: We require no registration, have no contact forms, and use no tracking cookies of our own.

Transparent Operations: Our website includes only a basic backend function for content moderation to automatically scan for and immediately delete inappropriate language. Deleted content is not retained.

Minimal & Temporary Data: Like all websites, our server logs basic, anonymized connection data for security and operations. This is automatically deleted after 7 days.

Supporting the Service

To keep 4 Lin running and free to use, we display ads via HillTop Ads. It’s important to know that any data collection for ad personalization (like IP address or browser type) is performed by HillTop Ads, not by us. We only receive anonymous, aggregated reports.

Our Commitment to You

We are dedicated to maintaining a service that is both useful and trustworthy. If our practices were ever to change in a way that involves collecting user information, we would update our policies with clear notice and implement opt-in consent first.
