EU-hosted infrastructure

Lynko is built around EU-hosted infrastructure and Dutch/EU privacy expectations.

No third-party trackers

Public Lynko pages are designed without advertising pixels or third-party tracking scripts.

GDPR-minded approach

We keep privacy rights, data minimization and retention in mind when building product features.

What Lynko collects

Lynko collects the data needed to run accounts, protect the service and show useful creator analytics.

  • Account details such as username, email address and a securely hashed password.
  • Content you create, such as short links, QR destinations, link pages, polls, AMA pages, Smart Cards, counters and Campaign Kits.
  • Basic operational logs for security, abuse prevention and troubleshooting.
  • Payment status and subscription information from the payment provider, when you choose a paid plan.
  • Privacy-friendly analytics for clicks, scans, visits and campaign activity.
  • Reward Unlock form submissions only when a creator enables that feature and a visitor submits the form.

What Lynko does not collect

  • Lynko does not sell visitor data.
  • Lynko does not build advertising profiles from link, QR or page visitors.
  • Lynko does not add third-party ad trackers to public pages.
  • Lynko does not intentionally ask for special category data.

How link and QR analytics work

When someone opens a short link, scans a QR code, visits a link page or triggers a counter, Lynko can count that activity and show it to the account owner.

Analytics may include counts, timestamps, referrer information, approximate country, browser language, device type and campaign context when available. The goal is practical reporting, not advertising surveillance.

Some public stats are only shown when the creator enables a public stats option or when a public product page is designed to show aggregate information.
