Terms of use
Last updated: 12 November 2026
By using minik.cc you agree to these terms. We have kept them short; please read them.
The service
minik.cc is a link shortener. You create short links, people who click them go to the target address, and you see statistics about those visits. With Sites you can also see who comes to your own website and what your links bring to it.
The service is provided by Space Island Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company no. 17270833). Registered address: 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean Space Island Ltd.
Your account
You can create one link from each browser without an account. To create more links and manage them, you sign in with your email address or with Google. Links created without an account keep working, and you can add them to your account by verifying your email address. Do not share your sign-in codes or sign-in links with anyone.
You are responsible for the links you create and for how they are used, including links you have not added to your account.
Prohibited use
You may not use minik.cc for:
- Phishing: pages that try to steal passwords, card details or personal information.
- Distributing malware.
- Spam: unsolicited bulk messages, comments or emails.
- Illegal content.
- Chaining other shorteners to hide the target.
- Redirects that mislead people about where they are going.
These terms also apply when you use minik through the API, MCP or an AI assistant. You are responsible for what a tool does on your behalf. Bulk scraping of data is prohibited, and we may limit automated access that puts a strain on the service. If you connect an assistant, the information it gets from minik goes to the assistant's provider, and the provider's own terms also apply. The assistant acts on your behalf with the permissions you approved when you connected it; you can revoke the connection at any time in Settings > API keys. An assistant can make mistakes: before it deletes or closes links, changes your plan or does anything similar, it is up to you to check what it is about to do. For your plan, the assistant only gives you Stripe's payment address; you confirm the payment yourself.
If you see a link being abused, report it with the form at minik.cc/abuse.
Removal of links
We may disable a link that breaks these terms without notice. People who click a disabled link see a page saying the link has been removed.
We may close an account for serious or repeated breaches.
Paid plans
- minik Plus is paid monthly or yearly. Payments are handled by Stripe.
- minik Pro has no limit on your own domains (subject to fair use); for very large numbers, write to [email protected].
- Your plan renews automatically at the end of each billing period.
- You can cancel at any time in Settings > Plan. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for.
- You can ask for a refund within 14 days of a payment. After that, we do not give refunds except where the law requires it.
- Prices include VAT and similar taxes where they apply.
When your plan ends
Your links keep working and their visits are still counted. Only the paid features stop: new links with a short address of your choice, unlimited links, detailed public statistics and raw data downloads. For links created without an account and later added to your account, the basic statistics page can stay public on the free plan too; you can change its visibility in your account.
Sites (your own website)
- When you add your site, we process data about your site's visitors on your behalf. You are the controller of this data and we are the processor. If you add a site for someone else, you confirm that you are authorised to accept this section on their behalf. This section is the data processing agreement required by Article 28 of the UK GDPR and the GDPR.
- You are responsible for telling your visitors, in your own privacy notice, what the site code collects. If the law that applies to your site requires consent or anything else, providing it is also up to you. What we collect is set out on our privacy page.
- The "32-day tracking" setting is on by default for every site; you can turn it off (turning it off deletes all of that site's visitor IDs). The site code stores nothing in a visitor's browser unless your site's consent tool calls
minik.consent(true); once it does, the code stores a random ID for 32 days, which is subject to the same legal rules as a cookie. The following are your responsibility: explaining clearly in your own privacy notice what is stored, why and for how long; callingminik.consent(true)only after the visitor has given the required consent in your own consent tool (consent is required in places such as the EU and Germany), and callingminik.consent(false)when consent is refused or withdrawn; and making sure visitors can withdraw their consent. If you never make this call, nothing is stored. You are the controller for your site's visitors; we are the processor, and we store this data only after your site callsminik.consent(true). We do not collect or check consent. - You are responsible for entering any amount you add to a goal (for example, the value of a purchase) correctly. Only you see the amount, as revenue; it is not a substitute for accounting or tax records. Do not add anything else that could count as a visitor's personal data.
- Do not put a visitor's personal data in goal names (
minik('…')). Adddata-minik-gizlito any element that shows a visitor's own details (such as their name or email address). - We process the data only to provide the service with your settings. We do not use it for any other purpose and we do not sell it. Unless the law requires it, we do not show data about individual visitors to anyone but you. We may produce aggregate figures about how the service is used that do not identify anyone.
- Only people bound by a duty of confidentiality can access the data. We take appropriate security measures.
- You agree that we may work with the companies listed on the privacy page (our sub-processors). When we change the list, we announce it on that page; if you do not accept a change, you can delete your site.
- We give you reasonable help when visitors exercise their rights, with data breach notifications and, where needed, with impact assessments. If we become aware of a data breach, we tell you without undue delay.
- When you delete your site or your account, we delete the data. It is also deleted from our backups within the period stated on the privacy page.
- On request, we give you the information needed to show that we meet these obligations.
Limitation of liability
We run the service with care, but we cannot guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or free of errors. The service is provided "as is": we make no promises about it beyond those in these terms. This does not affect your legal rights as a consumer.
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the previous 12 months. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.
Changes
We may change these terms. We will tell you about an important change by email before it takes effect. If you keep using the service after a change, you accept the new terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live. These terms are written in English and Turkish; if the two differ, the English version applies, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.
