What information Shortcutly collects, how we use it, and the choices you have about your data.
When you create a Shortcutly account we collect your email address, a username, and the authentication data needed to sign you in. Authentication runs on our own database; your password is stored only as a salted hash, never in plain text, and is never visible to us.
You can optionally add profile details: a display name, bio, avatar, website, location, and social handles. Everything except your email address is public and shown on your creator profile.
Shortcuts you submit are public by design: the name, description, icon, category, tags, version history, release notes, and the iCloud link you provide are visible to everyone once approved.
Comments you write on shortcut pages are public and attached to your username. You can edit or delete your own comments at any time.
Download counts on shortcuts are anonymous event counts. When you tap Get Shortcut we increment a number; we do not record who downloaded what.
Like standard web services, our hosting provider processes technical data such as IP address and browser type in server logs to operate and secure the service.
We use cookies solely to keep you signed in and to secure your session. Authentication cookies are set by Shortcutly itself (first-party). We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, but you will not be able to stay signed in without them.
We use privacy-friendly analytics (Vercel Analytics, and Plausible when enabled) to understand aggregate traffic: page views and general usage patterns. Neither uses cookies or tracks you across sites. We do not run ad tracking of any kind.
We send transactional email only, via Resend: things like submission confirmations, approval notices for your shortcuts, and account-related messages. We do not send marketing email and we never share your address with third parties for their own use.
You can delete your shortcuts and comments yourself at any time.
Deleting your account removes your profile and cascades to your content. Your shortcuts, versions, comments, likes, favorites, and follows are deleted with it. To request account deletion or a copy of your data, email us at julien@supacat.io.
Shortcutly is an independent community project, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc. Apple, iPhone, iPad, Mac, iCloud, and Shortcuts are trademarks of Apple Inc.
We may update this Privacy Policy as the service or legal requirements evolve. The "Last updated" date shows when changes were made.
