Linkly's Data Security

Who stores your data

All of Linkly's customer data is maintained at Google Cloud. For information on how we handle personal data and comply with privacy regulations, see our GDPR & data handling page.

How your data is encrypted at rest

Your data is encrypted using the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), with symmetric keys: that is, the same key is used to encrypt the data when it is stored, and to decrypt it when it is used. These data keys are themselves encrypted using a key stored in a secure keystore, and changed regularly.

How your data is encrypted in transit

Google encrypts and authenticates all data in transit at one or more network layers when data moves outside physical boundaries not controlled by Google or on behalf of Google.

Data in transit inside a physical boundary controlled by or on behalf of Google or Linkly is generally authenticated.

All short link redirects are served exclusively over HTTPS. We do not permit unencrypted HTTP redirects.

How your data is backed up

Linkly's data is replicated across multiple availability zones and multiple database systems.

In addition, our data is backed up daily offline. Periodically, we take additional backups and store these at AWS.

Where your data is stored

The primary jurisdiction where your data is at rest is the United States.

Availability and redundancy

All of our systems are highly redundant. We run multiple frontend and backend servers across availability zones.

Our uptime is continuously monitored and published on our status page.

Link redirect infrastructure

Short link redirects are served via Cloudflare's global edge network, spanning 300+ data centres across 100+ countries. This means redirects resolve at the point of presence nearest your user — typically in under 5ms — with no single point of failure.

Cloudflare also provides DDoS protection and edge-level HTTPS termination.

Additional network providers

Gigalixir manages our application nodes, load balancers, and internal network on Google Cloud.

Subprocessors

A full list of third-party subprocessors used by Linkly — including infrastructure, network, and payment providers — is available on our subprocessors page.
