Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 1, 2026. This policy explains what confirmURL.com collects, why, and your choices.
1. Who we are
confirmURL.com (“we”, “us”) operates https://confirmurl.com. Contact: support@confirmurl.com.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you provide
- URLs you submit for checking (required to run the service)
- Messages you send to our contact email
2.2 Information collected automatically
- IP address, browser type, approximate time of request
- Basic server logs for security, abuse prevention, and reliability
- Session identifiers for short-lived live browser sessions (auto-expire)
- Optional analytics or advertising cookies if you consent (see Cookie Policy)
2.3 Content inside checked pages
When you confirm a URL, our servers may fetch the page and render it in an isolated browser to produce a screenshot and technical report. We do not ask you to enter passwords into third-party sites inside the sandbox, and you should not do so. Screenshots and session data are temporary and discarded when the session ends (typically within minutes).
3. How we use information
- To provide URL confirmation, scans, and safety reports
- To secure the service (rate limits, block private network targets, abuse handling)
- To improve reliability and user experience
- To show ads (if enabled) via partners such as Google
- To respond to legal requests when required by law
4. Legal bases (EEA/UK where applicable)
- Contract / service delivery — processing URLs you submit
- Legitimate interests — security, fraud/abuse prevention, basic logs
- Consent — non-essential cookies/ads where required
- Legal obligation — when we must retain or disclose information
5. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with:
- Infrastructure providers (hosting, DNS, CDN) under contract
- Advertising partners such as Google AdSense (if ads are shown) — see Google’s policies
- Authorities when legally required
Google may use cookies and receive approximate device/ad request data as described in Google’s advertising policies.
6. Cookies
See our Cookie Policy. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies via our banner where shown.
7. Retention
- Live sessions and screenshots: short-lived (minutes), then deleted
- Security logs: typically up to 90 days unless needed longer for abuse investigation
- Email correspondence: as long as needed to resolve your request
8. Security
We use isolation, timeouts, and blocks against private/internal network targets (SSRF protections). No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
9. Children
The service is directed to a general audience and is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided data, contact us to delete it.
10. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of personal data, or withdraw consent. Email support@confirmurl.com. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
11. International transfers
Our servers and vendors may process data in the United States or other countries. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards.
12. Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use means you accept the updated policy.
