At HISLINKS, your privacy matters
Meeting people should feel relaxed and safe.
That's why HISLINKS has treated privacy and security as core principles from day one of product design — not as features bolted on afterwards.
🔐 We don't store your password
HISLINKS recommends signing in with a third-party provider, such as:
- Apple
- Other OAuth providers (subject to actual availability)
With third-party sign-in, you don't need to create or manage a new password.
If you choose to sign in with Email + Password:
- Your password is verified and managed directly by Supabase Authentication.
- HISLINKS never receives, stores, or verifies your password itself.
- We have no way of knowing your password.
💡 Security tip: Use a different password for every website and service, and turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever you can. That way, even if one site suffers a data breach, your other accounts stay safe — it's one of the most effective habits for protecting your accounts.
💬 Your chats are protected
Chat content is accessible only to the participants of that chat.
We apply multiple layers of protection, including:
- HTTPS / TLS encryption for all data in transit.
- Chat data protected by mature, industry-standard cloud security — encrypted transit, encrypted storage, and access controls.
🔥 Burn feature
HISLINKS offers a burn feature so you can share with more peace of mind.
Content shared with burn expires automatically after the time you set, and is deleted from the system once expired — it is not retained on our servers.
In the future, the burn feature will support more content types, continuing to provide a safer, more private sharing experience.
🖼️ We protect your photos
Both public and private photos are protected by multiple security layers.
Including:
- Access control verification
- Signed URLs
- Every image uses a dedicated, time-limited secure link
- Once a secure link expires, it can no longer be accessed
- Unpredictable resource identifiers (hashes)
- Access permission controls
These measures significantly reduce the risk of URL guessing, unauthorized sharing, or bulk scraping of images.
❤️ Always improving security
Privacy and security aren't a one-time feature — they're an ongoing effort.
HISLINKS continuously reviews its architecture, security mechanisms, and data protection measures, improving in line with industry best practices so everyone can connect in a safe, trustworthy environment.
