Transparent gate
Visitors see the destination hostname before a confirmed redirect.
LINKTIMER GUIDE
LinkTimer trust center
Trust is built through verifiable behavior, not a logo or a short domain. LinkTimer documents how redirects, analytics, credentials, abuse reports, and public status information are handled.
What this option gives you
No raw IP reports
Analytics surfaces aggregate dimensions rather than visitor identity.
Public resources
Security, status, responsible disclosure, and acceptable-use pages are linked publicly.
Practical use cases
Vendor review
Understand the current controls and remaining dependencies.
Incident response
Use link pause, abuse reporting, status updates, and audit activity.
Developer integration
Protect API keys and verify webhook signatures.
Privacy review
Evaluate the aggregate analytics design against your obligations.
How it works
Review the security page
Understand redirect and destination limitations.
Check service status
Confirm current component health.
Report responsibly
Use security.txt or the support channel for vulnerabilities and abuse.
Important limitation
LinkTimer does not claim external certification or a perfect ability to detect every malicious destination. Independent audits and operating history must be earned over time.
Frequently asked questions
Does LinkTimer endorse destinations?
No. User-generated links are not endorsements.
Are passwords stored in plaintext?
Link passwords are hashed before storage.
Are API keys displayed repeatedly?
The full secret is returned once at creation.
Where can I report a vulnerability?
Use the published security.txt contact and responsible disclosure guidance.
