Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Peekd ("we", "us", "our") is a link-tracking service built for freelancers and independent professionals. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and the choices available to you. We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. We do not use it to train AI models. We will only contact you about your Peekd account, service updates, and features or plans related to Peekd.

1. Who we are

Peekd is operated by the Peekd team. For privacy questions, contact privacy@peekd.link.

2. Information we collect

Account data: your email address and securely hashed authentication credentials. If you register using a third-party login, we receive only the basic profile fields that service returns.
Links you create: the label, destination URL, and unique tracking identifier associated with each link you generate. This data is stored solely to operate the service.
Open events: when one of your tracking links is opened, we record the timestamp, IP address, browser user-agent, and referring URL of the visitor. This is used to count opens, suppress rapid duplicates, send you notifications, and detect abuse.
Billing data: if you subscribe to a paid plan, your billing details are collected and processed directly by our payment processor. We receive only your subscription status and a customer reference — never your card number or full billing information.
Operational logs: standard server logs including request paths, status codes, and error traces, retained for security, debugging, and service reliability.

3. How we use your data

We use your data exclusively to:

Operate the link-tracking service and power your dashboard.
Send you transactional notifications when your links are opened.
Process your subscription and provide account support.
Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
Comply with applicable legal obligations.

We will not sell your data, share it with data brokers, use it for behavioral advertising, or disclose it to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We will only contact you about your Peekd account, new Peekd features, and Peekd subscription plans.

4. Data about link visitors

When a recipient opens one of your tracking links, we collect their IP address, user-agent, referring URL, and a timestamp. This data is displayed only to you as the link owner. We do not identify, profile, or combine this data across accounts. It is retained for the life of the associated link and deleted permanently when the link is deleted.

As the person who created the tracking link, you are the data controller for this open data under applicable privacy law. You are responsible for ensuring your use of Peekd's tracking features complies with privacy laws in your jurisdiction and those of your recipients.

5. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

Where GDPR applies, we process your personal data on the following bases:

Contract performance — to deliver the service you signed up for.
Legitimate interests — to secure the service, prevent abuse, and improve reliability.
Legal obligation — where required by applicable law.
Consent — where specifically requested.

6. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell or rent personal data. We share data only with third-party service providers engaged to help us operate Peekd — including authentication, database hosting, email delivery, and payment processing. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy and applicable data processing agreements.

We may also disclose information where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Peekd, its users, or others.

7. Data retention

We retain account and link data for as long as your account is active. Open event data is retained for up to 24 months, then permanently purged. Operational logs are retained for up to 90 days. When you delete a link, its open history is deleted immediately. When you delete your account, all associated personal data is removed within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain certain records.

8. Security

We apply industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption in transit, encryption at rest, row-level access controls, rate limiting, and the principle of least privilege. No system is perfectly secure, but we take security seriously and will notify affected users of any material breach without undue delay.

9. International data transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required by law, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards to ensure appropriate protection during such transfers.

10. Cookies and tracking

Peekd uses only the cookies strictly necessary to keep you signed in and maintain your session. We do not use third-party analytics, advertising pixels, or cross-site tracking on this site. Our payment processor may set its own cookies during checkout as part of the payment flow.

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live — including under GDPR and CCPA — you may have the right to:

Access and receive a copy of your personal data.
Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Request deletion of your data.
Restrict or object to certain processing.
Data portability.
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@peekd.link. We respond within 30 days. We do not sell personal information as defined under California law.

12. Children's privacy

Peekd is not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has created an account or submitted data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notice at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
