Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Every short link on website-shortner.link shares one domain reputation. This policy exists to protect the people clicking links and the customers whose links share the domain. It applies to all links created on the service.

Prohibited destinations and uses

Short links may not be created to point to, or be used in connection with:

  • Malware and exploits — destinations that distribute malicious software or attempt to compromise a visitor's device or accounts.
  • Phishing and credential theft — pages that impersonate another organization or person to collect logins, payment details, or personal information.
  • Fraud and scams — deceptive schemes, fake giveaways, counterfeit goods, or get-rich-quick traps.
  • Illegal content — anything unlawful to distribute or access, including content that exploits or endangers minors (reported to the relevant authorities, always).
  • Harassment and hate — destinations dedicated to harassing, doxxing, or inciting violence against people.
  • Spam campaigns — bulk unsolicited messaging that uses our links, regardless of destination.
  • Deceptive redirection — using links to disguise a destination in a way intended to trick users about where they are going or to evade security systems.

Enforcement

We review links flagged by our own monitoring and by abuse reports. Depending on severity, we may disable individual links, suspend the account behind them, or terminate the account entirely. Disabled links stop redirecting and show an error page instead.

We'd rather be strict here than let the domain rot. If an aggressive enforcement decision affects a legitimate link of yours, contact support@website-shortner.link and we'll take a second look.

Reporting

Anyone can report a link — you don't need an account. See Report Abuse for the fastest way to reach us.
