Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 15, 2025

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Shortcut Finder (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Site and Service.

2. Information You Provide

Shortcut Finder does not require an account and does not ask you to submit personal information to use the core shortcut search experience. If you contact us directly, you may provide information such as your name, email address, and message content.

3. Information Collected Automatically

When you load the Site, certain information may be processed automatically:

  • Usage and device data (for example: pages viewed, approximate location, browser type, device type).
  • Log data (for example: IP address, timestamps, requested URLs, and user-agent strings) which may be generated by our hosting and delivery infrastructure.

4. Local Storage (Preferences)

The Site stores certain preferences locally in your browser using localStorage:

  • Theme preference (light/dark), stored under color-theme.
  • Selected OS (macOS/Windows), stored under selectedOS.
  • Favorites (saved shortcut IDs), stored under favoriteShortcuts_mac or favoriteShortcuts_windows.

You can remove these values at any time by clearing site data in your browser.

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

We may use third-party services that set cookies or use similar technologies:

  • Google Analytics (via Google tag / gtag.js) to understand how the Site is used.
  • Google AdSense (adsbygoogle.js) to display ads.

These providers may collect information about your use of the Site and other websites over time. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, provider opt-out mechanisms.

6. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Operate and maintain the Service.
  • Understand usage and improve user experience and performance.
  • Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, or security issues.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

7. Sharing of Information

We may share information with:

  • Service providers (such as analytics, hosting, or advertising partners) to operate the Site.
  • Legal and safety authorities if required to comply with law or protect rights and safety.

We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary sense, but our advertising and analytics providers may process data as described in their own policies.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Preferences stored in localStorage remain on your device until you delete them.

9. Your Choices

You can:

  • Clear localStorage/site data from your browser to remove favorites and preferences.
  • Block or limit cookies through your browser settings.
  • Use privacy controls provided by third-party services (such as Google’s ads settings).

10. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the age defined by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above indicates when changes were last made.
