Is it safe?

Due to the URL Shortening being technically a redirection that can be used for spam, phishing, insecure source non-disclosure, etc., we implemented a multi-level filtering system that we use when shortening an original link with a brand URL Shortener

We scan links (URL) to detect possible malware and other threads using the following methods:

1. Safe Browsing API - Google
2. Safe Browsing API - Yandex
3. A custom stoplist of insecure websites.

We forbid using the Topvisor URL Shortnener for spamming, Internet viruses or insecure content spreading. All harmful links will be blocked. All users who regularly place harmful links are to be blocked as well. If you noticed a harmful link, please contact the Topvisor Customer Care.

We urge not to shorten and share links that contain spam or malware.
