About & privacy
About Linkly and your privacy
Linkly is about your money and your paperwork. So you want to know where everything is kept and what happens to it.
About Linkly
Linkly is made in the Netherlands. It is still in development and not open to everyone yet.
Your privacy
This page is the plain summary. Everything in full is in the privacy statement and the terms and conditions.
Hosted in the EU
Linkly and its database run on a server at Leaseweb, in Amsterdam. The files of your receipts and invoices are stored at Scaleway, also in Amsterdam. Both are European companies, so your data is stored in the EU. Only what the AI reads can leave it: see "AI to read documents" below.
Your bank: read-only
You import a file from your bank, or connect your bank through a licensed PSD2 provider. Either way Linkly only reads: it cannot move money and never sees your bank login details. Consent for a connection expires after at most 180 days and you can withdraw it at any time.
Your email: only what is about money
For Gmail you make an app password, for Outlook.com you log in at Microsoft yourself, and another email account takes its own password or app password. For email that has nothing to do with money, Linkly does not keep the content. You disconnect with one click.
Who sees what
You see the administrations you are a member of, and so does everyone else. A partner in your Household sees the Household, not your Personal. Only what lands in the Household shows there; the rest of your email stays yours.
AI to read documents
Linkly uses an AI model of an external service to read your receipts, invoices and payslips, to sort your email, to put your payments in a category and to answer what you ask in Ask Linkly. It gets what it has to read for that: the document, the text of an email, the description of a payment, your question and the figures for the answer. Linkly adds nothing that says who you are; a name printed on a document or written in an email is part of what is read. Every request tells the service not to train on it. The service may work outside Europe; which one it is, is in the privacy statement.
Delete means delete
You can delete your account at any time. Administrations that are only yours are gone from Linkly after 30 days; the last backup that holds them runs out after at most 190 days.
Statistics and cookies
The app uses no cookies for statistics. Linkly counts which kinds of pages get opened itself, on its own server in the EU, with no cookies and no stored IP address. This website uses Google Analytics, and only after you click Accept.
No ads
Linkly shows no ads and does not sell your data.
Google Analytics, only if you accept
If you click Accept in the cookie bar, Linkly counts your visit to this website with Google Analytics: which pages you view, which site you came from, roughly where you are and which device and browser you use. For that, Google sets cookies in your browser and processes the data on Linkly’s behalf. Your IP address is not stored, and the advertising features and Google signals are off. If you click Decline, or do not click at all, nothing of Google loads, and after Decline the bar stays away. The button here lets you change your mind, and so does Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. The app has no Google Analytics.
Google Analytics is off in this browser. There are no Google cookies in it.
