Privacy

Baptize.link doesn't hold onto anything. Some data will remain in memory for up to 24 hours, but nothing is ever saved longer than that.

Links you paste in:

Links are typically cleaned in your browser, on your device. If you reached this site through "baptize.link/https://somegrosslink.com?traking" then that link was sent to the server. If you have the # after baptize.link (like "baptize.link/#https://somegrosslink.com?traking") then it was cleaned in the browser.

Cases where the server needs to look at it: your browser doesn't run WebAssembly nor Javascript.

Dealing with shortened links:

If you pass in a shortened link the server needs to do some work to expand it and find the destination page. After this process is done whatever data the server needed to confirm this is deleted.

Opening a click-tracking link from an email counts as a click by its recipient. A link that only looks short gets one check that doesn't load the page, which in rare cases uses up a link that works only once.

Your IP Address:

The server sees your IP address and it is used to limit how much any one IP can use this site to expand shortened links. IPs are scrambled in memory and stored for up to 1 hour.

Your Browser:

Your browser stores this site in your language on your machine so you can use it privately without touching the server (or even offline). It doesn't store any links.

Reporting Issues:

Issue reports and whatever you put in them are posted to the public on Tangled.org.
