Privacy policy.

The short version

We run a forwarding service. When a GotoNow code or link is scanned or clicked, we record the minimum needed to forward you and to show the code's owner basic, aggregate statistics. We set no cookies on redirects, we build no visitor profiles, and we sell data to no one. The free generator runs entirely in your browser and sends us nothing at all.

If you scan or click a GotoNow code

When your device requests a goto-now.link address, we process the request in order to forward you. From it we record:

• which code was requested, and when;
• a coarse region (country / state level), derived from the request's network address;
• a device family (phone, tablet, or desktop) derived from the browser's user-agent string.

The raw network address is used transiently for forwarding and abuse prevention and is discarded from analytics records within 30 days. We do not set cookies on redirects, we do not fingerprint devices, and we cannot identify you personally from what we keep. Analytics are retained in per-code form for 13 months and as anonymous aggregates thereafter.

Where a code forwards you is chosen by its owner, and the destination site has its own privacy practices that we don't control. Your browser's address bar always shows the true destination after forwarding.

If you use the free generator

Nothing to disclose, pleasantly: the generator on our homepage creates static QR codes locally in your browser. The URL you enter is never transmitted to our servers, and we keep no record that you generated anything.

If you hold an account

We store what's needed to run your account: your email address, the codes you create and their destinations, your plan and billing status, and support correspondence. Payment card details are handled by our payment processor and never touch our servers. We use your email to operate the service — receipts, security notices, replies you asked for — not for marketing drip campaigns.

Cookies

One session cookie, used only to keep account holders signed in to the dashboard. Public pages and redirects set none. There is no third-party advertising or tracking script anywhere on this site.

What we never do

• Sell, rent, or trade any data to anyone.
• Run third-party ad or tracking networks.
• Build cross-site or behavioral profiles of scanners.
• Inject interstitial pages, frames, or ads between a code and its destination.

Sharing & disclosure

We share data only with the infrastructure providers that host and deliver the service (bound by their own confidentiality obligations), and when the law genuinely requires it. If we ever receive a legal demand for records, we disclose the minimum the law compels.

Your choices

Account holders can export or delete their account data by emailing privacy@goto-now.link. If you've scanned a code and are curious or concerned about the little we hold, the honest answer is that we almost certainly cannot connect any record to you — but write to the same address and we'll look.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll note it here with a new date and tell account holders by email. We won't quietly swap a short honest policy for a long evasive one.
