Redirect Chain Checker

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Redirect Chain Checker handles submitted URLs, technical information, cookies, and other data when you use redirectchainchecker.com.

Last updated: August 18, 2026

Information You Submit

When you run a check, you submit a URL for our server to request. The URL may contain a hostname, path, query string, or other data. Do not submit private dashboard links, password-reset links, signed download URLs, access tokens, personal identifiers, or any URL you are not authorized to test.

To produce the report, our server contacts the submitted URL and each redirect destination. Those destination servers may receive technical request information such as our server IP address, request headers, and request time under their own privacy practices.

Technical Data

Like most web services, our infrastructure may process IP addresses, browser and device information, request timestamps, referring pages, response codes, performance data, security events, and error logs. We use this information to deliver the service, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and maintain reliability.

Submitted URLs are processed to perform the requested check and are not intended to become public user content. Temporary application, network, CDN, or security logs may nevertheless contain request details for operational and security purposes.

How We Use Information

  • Provide redirect-chain results and calculate response information.
  • Protect the service against automated abuse, attacks, and prohibited network access.
  • Troubleshoot errors and improve reliability, speed, and usability.
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.
  • Measure aggregate usage when privacy-respecting analytics are enabled.

Cookies and Local Storage

We may use essential session, security, CSRF-protection, language, and appearance-preference cookies or local storage. Optional analytics technologies, if enabled, are handled as described in our Cookie Policy and subject to consent where required.

Sharing and Service Providers

We do not sell submitted URLs or personal information. Data may be processed by hosting, CDN, security, analytics, authentication, payment, or infrastructure providers only as needed to operate the website. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or during a legitimate business transfer.

Retention and Security

We retain technical information only for as long as reasonably needed for service operation, security, dispute handling, and legal compliance. Retention periods can vary by data type and infrastructure provider. We apply reasonable safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information. You can also control optional cookies through browser settings or available consent controls. Requests may require reasonable verification before action is taken.

Children, International Use, and Changes

The service is not directed to children under the age required for independent consent in their jurisdiction. Because the website is available internationally, information may be processed in countries with different data-protection rules. We may update this policy as the service, providers, or legal requirements change; the date above identifies the current version.
