Privacy Policy
Last updated: 23 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what data SnapLnk ("we", "us") collects, why, and your rights over it.
1. Data we collect
- Account data: your name, email address and a securely hashed password.
- Links & content: the URLs you shorten, custom names, bio-page content and any images you upload.
- Click analytics: when someone opens your short link we record the time, an approximate country, device type, browser/OS and the referring source. We store the visitor IP address solely to count unique visitors; we do not use it to identify individuals.
2. How we use it
We use this data to operate the service: authenticate you, store and redirect your links, show you analytics, and provide Pro features. We do not sell your personal data.
3. Payments
Pro purchases are processed by our Merchant of Record, Paddle.com. When you buy a subscription, Paddle collects and processes your billing details under its own privacy policy. We receive only limited information (such as your subscription status) needed to enable Pro features. We never see or store your full card details.
4. File transfers
Files sent through SnapLnk's transfer feature stream directly between browsers (peer-to-peer). Files are not uploaded to or stored on our servers; we only relay the connection setup needed to establish the link.
5. Link safety screening
To protect users, when you create or edit a link we check the destination URL for safety. This may involve sending the URL to a reputable safety service (such as Google Safe Browsing) to detect malware or phishing. We also block links to private/internal addresses and bare IP addresses, and rate-limit link creation to prevent abuse. We do not use this screening to profile you.
6. Cookies & storage
We use local browser storage to keep you signed in and remember preferences. We use essential analytics only as described above.
7. Data retention
We keep your account and link data while your account is active. You can delete links, pages or your whole account at any time, which removes the associated data.
8. Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us. You can also delete most data yourself from within the app.
9. Contact
