Privacy

RefsLinks has no accounts and asks for no name or password. The only optional personal detail we can hold is an email you choose to add for page recovery. Here is what we do handle:

What you submit. The links you paste, any offer text you type, and the page title/copy generated from them are stored so your page can be served. This is public on your page.

Recovery email (optional). If you add an email after creating a page, we store it solely to help you recover that page — we'll look it up if you contact us after losing your edit link. It's never shown on your page, never sold or used for marketing, and we'll delete it on request.

Your edit key. Each page gets a private edit token (the /edit/… URL). Anyone holding that link can edit or delete the page, so keep it to yourself.

IP address. We use your IP to rate-limit page creation and prevent abuse. A short-lived record keyed by your IP is kept in our database for that purpose — it is never linked to the page you create — and is deleted within about 24 hours.

Cookies & analytics. The site sets no tracking cookies. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics — a cookieless, aggregate service that reports page views and referrers without setting cookies, building a profile of you, or following you to other sites. Because it collects no personal data, there is no consent banner.

Third-party requests. Loading a RefsLinks page makes your browser fetch some resources directly from third parties: the Tailwind Play CDN (cdn.tailwindcss.com) for styling, the Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon (static.cloudflareinsights.com), and brand favicons from Google (www.google.com/s2/favicons), with a DuckDuckGo fallback (icons.duckduckgo.com) if Google's is unavailable. Those services see your IP address and browser details as part of serving the request.

Reading the linked page. To build your card we always fetch the public page you linked (its title, description, icon and theme color) on our server. When you don't paste an offer yourself, we ask our AI provider to look up that company's official offer, which sends the link and the public page information to the provider. Using the "Enhance" button on your edit page likewise sends the offer text and public page information to the provider. If no AI key is configured, nothing is sent to a provider.

Retention & deletion. A page is kept until it's deleted with its edit link. We may remove pages that break the Terms. To request removal, email abuse@refslinks.com with the page URL.
