Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

LinkDen is an open-source, self-hosted application. This policy covers the documentation site at mrdemonwolf.github.io/linkden. If you self-host LinkDen, your own privacy policy applies to your instance.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• 🚫 No Tracking: We don't track you on this docs site.
• 🏠 Self-Hosted: You own all your data on your own instance.
• 🔒 Private: No "phoning home" or telemetry.

What We Collect

Documentation Site

This is a static site hosted on GitHub Pages. We do not:

• 🍪 Use cookies or tracking scripts
• 👤 Collect personal information
• 📊 Use analytics services
• 💾 Store any visitor data

GitHub Pages may collect basic server logs (IP addresses, user-agent strings) as part of standard hosting. See GitHub's Privacy Statement for details.

Self-Hosted Instances

When you deploy your own LinkDen instance, you are the data controller. LinkDen stores the following in your Cloudflare D1 database:

• 👤 Profile data -- name, bio, profile image URL
• 🔗 Links -- URLs, titles, icons, sort order
• ⚙️ Settings -- theme, colors, branding, configuration
• 📈 Analytics -- page views, link clicks, referrers, country codes (from Cloudflare headers)
• 📝 Contact form submissions -- name, email, message (if enabled)
• 📇 vCard data -- contact information you configure

All data lives in your own database. LinkDen does not phone home, send telemetry, or share data with third parties.

Third-Party Services

Self-hosted instances may optionally integrate with:

• ☁️ Cloudflare -- hosting and CDN (see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy)
• 📧 Resend -- email delivery for contact form notifications (see Resend's Privacy Policy)

Tip: Authentication is handled by Better Auth, which runs entirely on your server -- no data is sent to external auth providers.

Your Rights

Since LinkDen is self-hosted, you have complete control over all data. Export, delete, or modify anything at any time through the admin panel or directly in your D1 database.
