PRIVACY POLICY
Public object.
Private payment data.
1. Information YOINKED processes
YOINKED processes the information needed to operate the redirect, confirm ownership, process payments, prevent abuse, answer support requests and keep the service secure. This may include a submitted destination URL, payment amount and status, transaction identifiers, ownership timing, report or support messages, an optional reply email, and ordinary request data such as IP address, user agent and referrer.
2. Public information
When a claim succeeds, YOINKED may publicly show a destination-derived label or hostname, the amount paid, when control started, approximate hold time and ownership history. Public information can be copied, cached or indexed by others.
3. Payments
Payment details are entered with the payment provider shown at checkout, not directly into YOINKED. YOINKED receives the transaction information needed to determine redirect control and handle refunds or disputes. The payment provider processes payment data under its own terms and privacy notice.
4. Destination verification
YOINKED may connect to a submitted public website to verify that it is reachable and permitted under the Rules. The destination operator may therefore see a request from YOINKED's hosting infrastructure. YOINKED does not embed buyer-controlled pages or execute buyer JavaScript inside YOINKED.
5. Analytics and performance
YOINKED uses Vercel for hosting and may use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to understand aggregate visits, referrers, device/browser information and site performance. These tools are used to operate and improve the service, not to build advertising profiles.
6. Viewer presence
If the “watching now” feature is enabled, YOINKED may use a short-lived first-party identifier to avoid counting the same active browser repeatedly. Presence data is designed to expire quickly and is not used for cross-site advertising.
7. Reports and support
If you send a report or support message, YOINKED processes the message, any optional reply email, relevant destination or owner information, and basic request data needed to investigate abuse, prevent spam and respond.
8. Service providers
YOINKED relies on service providers for hosting, payments, analytics, email delivery and related infrastructure. Those providers process data under their own terms and privacy notices. YOINKED does not sell personal data.
9. Retention
Public ownership history may remain visible as part of the service record. Payment and transaction records may be retained as long as reasonably necessary for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, refunds, chargebacks and legal obligations. Support and abuse correspondence may be kept as long as needed to resolve and document the issue. Short-lived presence and rate-limit data is retained only as long as useful for those purposes.
10. Your rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or export of personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing relied on consent. Use Support for a privacy request.
11. Children
YOINKED is intended for adults and does not knowingly offer paid redirect control to children. If you believe information from a child has been submitted, contact Support.
12. Security
YOINKED uses technical and organizational measures intended to protect non-public information and keep payment credentials server-side. No internet service can guarantee perfect security.
13. Changes and contact
This policy may be updated when the service, providers or legal obligations change. For privacy, payment or general questions, use Support. For an unsafe destination, use Report abuse.
