Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2025

At lnk.ink, your privacy matters. This policy outlines how we use minimal data and maintain transparency, even when using tools like Google Analytics.

1. No Account Needed

You can use lnk.ink completely anonymously. No signup is required, and no personal details are collected unless you explicitly provide them (e.g., Telegram ID for bot integration).

2. What We Store

We only store what is needed: original URL, short code, expiration settings, optional password, and control mode. If a secret code is generated, it’s stored securely and used for link management only.

3. Click Tracking and Analytics

We track anonymized metrics like click count, country, device, browser, and referrer to provide you with stats. These are never tied to identities. You can disable tracking by selecting 'No Tracking' when creating the link.

4. Basic Analytics

We collect anonymous usage metrics to understand traffic trends and improve performance. This includes general stats like device type and country, but no personal identifiers are collected or shared.

5. No Other Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell or share your data with advertisers or data brokers. We also do not embed any third-party ad networks or social widgets.

6. Cookies

We do not use tracking cookies. Temporary cookies may be used for improving site functionality (like remembering your language), but they contain no personal or persistent identifiers.

7. Link Expiration and Removal

You can set links to expire by time or click count. Links may be deleted manually or become inaccessible after expiration. Links with no activity may also be cleaned up automatically if not configured to be permanent.

8. Link Previews

To generate a preview (title, image, favicon), we may fetch metadata from the original website. This is similar to how social platforms generate previews and may be logged on their servers.

9. Abuse Protection

We detect and filter known bots, apply rate limiting, and cache data in RAM temporarily to prevent abuse. This includes short-lived spam protection on redirects and stats logging.

10. Security Disclaimer

While we use reasonable technical safeguards, no service is 100% secure. Do not share confidential or sensitive data in plain URLs. You're responsible for the links you create.

11. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated if we change features or integrate new services. We'll highlight important changes on this page. Continued use of lnk.ink means you accept the current version.

12. Contact

For any questions or concerns, email [email protected]. We are committed to your privacy and transparency.
