The short version: LinkLook performs on-device link checks by default. You can choose to turn on one or more optional cloud protection features: Cloud link check, Safe Preview, and Deep Page Analysis. Each is off until you explicitly enable it. No cloud feature sends data before you confirm. When sensitive data is detected in a link, you choose whether to send it unmasked, masked, or not at all.
LinkLook is a browser for iOS that helps people spot suspicious links early and make safer decisions online.
LinkLook is operated by LinkLook B.V., a Dutch private limited company (besloten vennootschap) registered with the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (Kamer van Koophandel) under number 42030902, with its registered office at Manpadslaan 12, 2105 MA Heemstede, the Netherlands. LinkLook B.V. is the controller responsible for the processing of personal data described in this Privacy Statement.
This Privacy Statement explains what personal data LinkLook may process in the current version of the app, why we process it, the legal bases we rely on, how long we keep it, when external providers may be involved, and what choices and rights you have.
On-device link checks are always on and are the foundation of LinkLook's protection.
In addition, you can independently enable one or more cloud protection features. Each feature maps to one specific privacy action and one specific endpoint on LinkLook's server:
When you first open LinkLook, a consent screen lets you pick between On-device only, Cloud link check only, and Full cloud protection (all three cloud features). You can change any of these settings at any time in Settings → Enhanced Cloud Protection.
No cloud feature sends any data before you explicitly enable it and — for features that fetch a page — confirm when prompted.
LinkLook may process:
When you choose to open a webpage, the destination website and its service providers may receive standard browser and network information needed to load that page, such as your IP address, browser request data, and device or browser metadata, as with any browser.
We aim to limit processing to what is needed for the requested app function. Before any cloud feature sends data, LinkLook scans the link on your device for sensitive information (email addresses, tokens, account IDs, and other patterns). If sensitive data is found, LinkLook shows you what was detected and lets you choose to send it unmasked, send a masked version, or cancel the check.
We may process data to:
Depending on the situation, LinkLook processes personal data because:
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time for future processing.
LinkLook relies on the following categories of providers. Each is used only for the specific feature mentioned, and only when that feature is enabled.
Each provider receives only the data needed for its specific role: the Threat Database provider receives hash prefixes; Urlbox receives the URL to screenshot; Anthropic receives the URL and, for Deep Page Analysis, a representation of the page content. None of these providers receive an account identifier tied to you, because LinkLook has no account system.
We review and update this list when sub-processors change.
LinkLook keeps personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required for security, legal, or operational reasons.
Where possible, we aim to minimize retention.
LinkLook is designed to limit unnecessary sharing of sensitive information.
Before any cloud feature sends a link, LinkLook performs an on-device scan for sensitive data patterns in the link — such as email addresses, phone numbers, tokens, account IDs, and similar values. If any are detected, LinkLook shows you what was found and lets you choose to send the link in full, send a masked version, or cancel the check. On-device checks can always be used without any cloud feature enabled.
You remain responsible for what you choose to open, enter, scan, or share in the app. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the page or service you are using.
Depending on the providers involved, data may be processed outside your country and, where relevant, outside the European Economic Area.
This may apply, for example, if you enable Threat Database Lookup, Cloud link check, Safe Preview, or Deep Page Analysis, or if you contact us directly, visit our website, or use other external services related to LinkLook.
Where required, appropriate safeguards, such as contractual protections, are used.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to request data portability where applicable.
You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, including the Dutch Data Protection Authority where applicable.
If you have questions about this Privacy Statement or about privacy in LinkLook, you can contact LinkLook B.V. at privacy@linklook.app.
LinkLook is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you are under 16, please do not use LinkLook without the involvement of a parent or guardian. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 16 without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time.
If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
