# What data does Blinkhop collect?

> As little as possible: no cookies, no trackers and no IP addresses stored with links or clicks. Here is exactly what we store when you create, click or report a link.

Blinkhop collects as little data as the service needs to work. The website and redirects set no cookies, there are no analytics trackers or ads, and we don't store IP addresses with the links you create or the clicks they get.

## What data Blinkhop stores, and when

| When you... | We store |
| --- | --- |
| Create a link | The destination URL, the code, the creation time and how it was created (web, API or MCP). No IP address. |
| Click a link | Aggregated counts only: day, country, referrer domain and device type (mobile or desktop). |
| Report a link | The link code, your optional reason and the date. |
| Join the early access list | Your email address, the plan you chose and the date. |
| Use a contact form | Your email address, the topic, your message and the date. |

Bots and link previews from apps like Slack, WhatsApp and Discord aren't counted as clicks. Read how [link analytics](https://blinkhop.com/features/analytics) work.

## What we don't collect

- **No cookies.** Not on blinkhop.com and not on redirects.
- **No trackers or ads.** Fonts and images on the website are self-hosted.
- **No IP addresses with links or clicks.** Creating a link stores no IP address, and visitor IP addresses are never stored when a link is clicked. Rate limiting keeps IP addresses in memory for at most 24 hours, never on disk.
- **No individual clicks.** A click only adds to daily counters, so we can't tell who clicked a link.
- **No selling of data.** Blinkhop makes money from paid plans, not from your data.

## Cloudflare

Cloudflare provides CDN, TLS and DDoS protection in front of all our domains, as a processor. The country of a click comes from Cloudflare's country header.

## Your early access data

We use your email address only to contact you about accounts, and we delete it on request. The [privacy policy](https://blinkhop.com/legal/privacy) has the full details.
