Security at Linkyhost
At Linkyhost, we take the security and privacy of your data seriously. This
page describes the security measures that actually protect your links and
files today — no more, no less.
Data Protection
All files are encrypted at rest (AES-256) in Google Cloud Storage
TLS encryption for all connections in transit
Files are stored in Google's secured data centers
GDPR-conscious data handling, including a self-service right-to-delete
flow for form submissions and full self-service account deletion
Deleting a link or your account removes the underlying files immediately
Account Security
Sign-in via Google or a one-time code emailed to you — there is no stored
account password to steal or reuse
Hardened, HTTP-only session cookies
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection on every state-changing request
Rate limiting and brute-force protection on sign-in and link-unlock attempts
Banned-account and ban-evasion controls
Link Security Features
Password-protected links (Pro): PDFs are encrypted with the password
itself, and HTML pages are gated behind a server-verified prompt
Expiration settings for temporary access (Pro)
Per-link analytics for monitoring unexpected traffic
Abuse reporting on every hosted page
Content Safety
Every upload is scanned by our content-moderation pipeline before it goes
live, including phishing and malware checks
Archives are additionally screened with VirusTotal
A dedicated abuse-response process takes down malicious content and the
accounts behind it
Team Access (Enterprise)
Team workspaces with role-based permissions (Owner / Admin / Member)
Admins control who is on the team; removals take effect immediately
Invitations are single-use, expire after 7 days, and can only be accepted
by the invited email address
What We Don't Offer Yet
We believe in being straightforward: Linkyhost does not currently provide
SSO/SAML, two-factor authentication, SCIM provisioning, or formal
certifications such as SOC 2 or HIPAA. If those are requirements for your
organization, contact support@linkyhost.com and we'll tell you honestly
whether we're a fit.
