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:
Most free shorteners store your original URL, IP address, and referrer logs without encryption, making them vulnerable to breaches.
Those logs can be subpoenaed by courts, sold to advertisers, or leaked in security breaches - exposing your browsing patterns.
You have no way to make sensitive links expire after a single use or set time limit.
Privacy-First Link Shortening
PVTLNK solves every privacy problem with traditional link shorteners. Here's how we protect your data:
Your destination URL is encrypted in your browser before it ever reaches our servers. We store only ciphertext — we literally cannot read where your links point.
Enterprise-grade capabilities for power users including custom domains, developer APIs, and GDPR compliance tools.
Zero-knowledge URL encryption and zero-knowledge authentication — your credentials and your destinations are both provably private, even from us.
Why Choose PVTLNK?
While other URL shorteners track everything, PVTLNK protects your privacy with zero-knowledge architecture.
Bottom line: We can't see your URLs, track your visitors, or sell your data. Even if we wanted to.

#fragment of your short link, which browsers never send to servers. We store only the ciphertext. Even with full access to our database, we cannot read where your links point.pvtlnk.com/abc123#KEY). Browsers never transmit the fragment to servers, so neither we nor any infrastructure provider can ever see your destination. When someone clicks your link, our page runs JavaScript that reads the key from the fragment, fetches the ciphertext, decrypts it locally, and redirects — all without the plaintext URL touching our servers.
