Do you store visitors' IP addresses?

Q: Do you store visitors' IP addresses?

By default, ShortGo stores visitor IP addresses anonymised — the last octet is set to zero (for example 203.0.113.0 ). The site administrator can change this to store the full IP or not store it at all. Location data (country, region, city) is looked up on ShortGo’s own servers using local DB-IP databases, so visitor IPs aren’t sent to third-party geolocation or analytics services. Redirects don’t load any third-party analytics unless you attach tracking pixels to a link yourself — in which case you’re responsible for collecting consent where the law requires it.
