Your data & security

Your codes are yours. So is your data.

Here is everything Scanlync collects, why, how we protect it and how long we keep it — in plain words.

We collect only what we need

Nothing for ads. No tracking cookies. We never sell your data.

Private things stay private

Passwords, tax IDs and payments are encrypted or never reach us.

You’re in control

See, download or delete your data from your account at any time.

Open Privacy & security

For people who scan your codes

They don’t sign up, and they stay safe.

Unsafe links are blockedLinks are checked against lists of known unsafe websites before a code is made, and we add sites that people report.

Report a pageAnyone can report a Scanlync code. We review reports and can block a code or a website.

No account, no trackingPeople who scan never sign up, and we never know who they are.

Behind the scenes

What we do that you don’t see.

Encrypted connection (HTTPS) on every page

Sensitive details encrypted when stored

Daily backups by our host, with regular restore tests

Our team signs in with two steps; personal data is masked and every look is logged

Security settings that block common attacks

If something goes wrong

If your data is ever exposed, we tell you without delay — what happened, what it means for you and what to do — and we report it to the authorities as the law requires.
