About LinkDe

LinkDe is a free WhatsApp number link generator. It turns your phone number into a “click-to-chat” link, so anyone can message you on WhatsApp with a single tap — without saving your number first.

What you can do

• Create a WhatsApp click-to-chat link from any number, with an optional pre-filled message.
• Get a short, branded link (e.g. link-de.com/r/ab1234) that's easy to share.
• Download a QR code (PNG or SVG) to print or post anywhere.
• Track how many times your link is opened with built-in click analytics.

Why use LinkDe

• Free & instant — no sign-up needed to generate a link.
• Works on every device — opens the WhatsApp app on phones and WhatsApp Web on computers.
• Save & manage — create a free account to store your links, customise their short codes, and see click stats.
• Custom short links — pick your own memorable code.
• Privacy-friendly — we only store what's needed to run the service.

Who it's for

Small businesses, online sellers, freelancers, customer-support teams, and marketers who want customers to reach them on WhatsApp quickly — from a website, social bio, ad, flyer, or business card.

LinkDe is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WhatsApp or Meta Platforms, Inc.

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how LinkDe (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use link-de.com (the “Service”).

1. Information we collect

• Link data — the phone number, message, and short code you enter to generate a link.
• Account data — if you register, your email address and a securely hashed password.
• Usage data — counts of when your short links are opened, for analytics.
• Technical data — basic information such as your IP address and a session cookie needed to keep you signed in and to prevent abuse.

2. How we use your information

• To generate and serve your links and QR codes;
• To provide your account, dashboard, and click analytics;
• To protect the Service against spam and abuse;
• To communicate with you about your account (for example, approval or password-reset emails).

3. Passwords

We never store your password in readable form — it is protected using industry-standard one-way hashing (bcrypt). We will never ask for your password by email, and we never send passwords by email.

4. Cookies

We use a single essential cookie to keep you signed in and to secure your session. We do not use it for advertising or cross-site tracking.

5. Third-party services

Depending on the features in use, we may rely on:

• A QR-code generation service to create QR images;
• An email provider to send account emails (if configured);
• Google Sign-In, if you choose to sign in with Google.

These providers process only the data needed to perform their function.

6. Data retention

We keep your links and account data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request deletion of your account and its data at any time.

7. Your rights

You may access, correct, or delete your personal data. To do so, contact us using the details below.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, including hashed passwords and secure (HTTPS) connections. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

10. Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
