No link taxes, no rug-pulls, no data resale — a small EU team building the shortener we wanted to use.

EU residency

Your data stays in the EU.

Origin database and analytics live in our EU region; high-availability replicas never cross the EU border. The edge cache fans out globally for low-latency redirects, but customer data stops at the EU boundary.

  • Origin + analytics in the EU region - high-availability replicas inside the EU only.
  • GDPR DPA + EU Standard Contractual Clauses signed by default; no Schrems II surprises.
  • No model training on your link data - EU AI Act friendly, contractually guaranteed.
  • Self-hosted edition available with the same EU posture for public sector and healthcare workloads.
