Privacy
Westroo Short URL Manager stores link records, click counts, optional detailed click rows, referrer data, user-agent data, and anonymized IP addresses in your WordPress database only when tracking is enabled and statistics consent is present. Site administrators can disable tracking, enable or disable IP anonymization, and configure click retention in plugin settings.
The plugin does not connect to a hosted short-link service. Optional features are disabled by default and can contact only URLs configured by a site administrator, including target URL health checks, webhook endpoints, and checkout handoff URLs.
