Website Privacy Policy
This policy describes how ShortcutRemover.com handles information when you visit the website, download the software, or send a message through the contact form.
Information we do not request for downloads
The Shortcut Remover installer is offered without requiring an account, payment card, mailing address, or marketing subscription. Do not send malware samples, passwords, license keys, or sensitive personal files through the website.
Aggregate website measurement
The website uses a first-party measurement system to count aggregate sessions, page views, and download-link clicks. It stores the UTC date, event type, page path, a broad source category or referring domain, and an aggregate count. The analytics table does not store an IP address, user agent, full referrer URL, or persistent visitor identifier.
A timestamp is kept in your browser’s local storage to estimate whether a visit begins a new 30-minute session. That timestamp is not transmitted as an identifier. You can clear or block local storage through your browser settings. Measurement is used to understand which documentation is useful and whether visitors can reach the official download.
Standard server logs
Like most websites, the server may temporarily log request time, requested URL, IP address, user agent, response status, and security events. These logs support operation, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and incident investigation. Access is limited to authorized administrators and service providers with an operational need.
Contact forms
If you contact us, we use the information you provide to respond to the request, investigate a reported problem, or correct documentation. Provide only the minimum information necessary. Contact-form messages may be retained while the request is active and for a reasonable period needed for security, support, and recordkeeping.
Downloads and external services
The website records aggregate clicks to official download paths. Your browser and operating system may separately perform reputation, antivirus, or safe-browsing checks under their own providers’ policies. Links to Microsoft documentation and other external sites are governed by those sites’ privacy policies.
Security
We use HTTPS, access controls, server logging, backups, and traffic filtering to reduce risk. No Internet service can guarantee absolute security. The production platform is being maintained with compensating controls while migration from its legacy software stack remains a priority.
Your choices
- You can block or clear local storage in your browser.
- You can download the software without creating an account.
- You can choose not to use the contact form.
- You can request correction or deletion of personal information you submitted, subject to legal and security retention needs.
Policy updates
We update this policy when the website’s actual data practices change. The modified date on this page reflects a substantive policy update, not a cosmetic edit.
Contact
Use the contact page for a privacy question or request. Include enough information to identify your request, but do not send sensitive files.
