Who This Is For

Real-World Privacy Protection

PVTLNK isn't just another URL shortener. It's a privacy-first solution for professionals, businesses, and individuals who value their data security.

Business Executives

Share sensitive business documents, financial reports, and strategic plans without exposing your company's digital footprint to competitors.

Activists & Advocates

Organize protests, share resources, and coordinate movements without exposing participants to government surveillance or corporate tracking.

Use Case: Protest coordination links that auto-expire

The Problem

Your links are data gold mines

Most link shorteners expose your privacy and put your data at risk. Here's what's happening with traditional services:

Unencrypted Data Storage

Most free shorteners store your original URL, IP address, and referrer logs without encryption, making them vulnerable to breaches.

Data Exposure Risk

Those logs can be subpoenaed by courts, sold to advertisers, or leaked in security breaches - exposing your browsing patterns.

No Expiration Control

You have no way to make sensitive links expire after a single use or set time limit.

The Solution

Privacy-First Link Shortening

PVTLNK will solve every privacy problem with traditional link shorteners. Here's how we'll protect your data:

Core Privacy Protection

The foundation of secure link shortening with zero-knowledge authentication, anonymous analytics, and self-destructing links.

Features: Zero-knowledge authentication, hashed IP addresses, automatic expiration

Advanced Features

Enterprise-grade capabilities for power users including custom domains, developer APIs, and GDPR compliance tools.

Features: Custom domains, REST API, one-click data exports

Built for Trust

Visit our Roadmap

Do you store my original URLs?
Yes, URLs are stored in our database. While the database itself is encrypted at rest (AES-256), we can access your URLs to provide link redirection. We use zero-knowledge authentication, meaning your username and password are never stored or transmitted.
Will my clicks be tracked?
We log only aggregated data (country, device, UTM). IP addresses are hashed, never stored in plain text.
Can I delete a link permanently?
Yes – a single click will remove the record and all associated analytics.
Is there a free trial?
Yes – all plans come with a 14-day free trial. No charges until your trial ends. Cancel anytime.
How does the self‑destruct work?
You'll be able to set an expiration date or a maximum click count when you create the link. After the condition is met, the slug will return a 404.
What about GDPR compliance?
We're built for GDPR from day one. You can download all your data or request complete deletion with one click.
Do you offer custom domains?
Yes! Use your own domain like go.yourbrand.com for branded short links. Available on Pro and Team plans.
Is there an API for developers?
Absolutely. Full REST API with OpenAPI spec, webhooks, and rate limiting. Available on Enterprise tier.
