Privacy

Last updated 23 August 2026.

What we store

Your email address, a hash of each API key, a record of each link you digest (the URL and the time), and the resulting digest text.

What we do not store

Videos, images, and audio. These are written to a temporary directory while a digest is produced and deleted before the request returns. We do not keep, serve, or redistribute the media behind any link.

API keys

Only an HMAC hash of each key is stored. We cannot show you a key again after it is created, and a database leak would not reveal usable keys.

Digests are shared

Digests are cached by link, and a cached digest may be served to another user who requests the same public link. Do not send links to private or access-controlled content.

Third parties

Link content is sent to OpenRouter for reading. Payments are handled by Stripe, who receive your email and payment details — we never see card numbers. Email is sent through Resend. Infrastructure runs on AWS.

Analytics and trackers

There are none. No analytics scripts, no advertising pixels, no third-party cookies. The only cookie set is the one that keeps you signed in.

Deletion

Email privacy@linkdigest.dev and we will delete your account, keys, and usage history. Cached digests of public links are not personal data and remain.
