No. Linktree is not GDPR-compliant. Linktree uses US-based servers and sets third-party tracking cookies on every profile page. This means your visitors' data is transferred outside the EU without a valid legal basis under GDPR Article 44. Linktree also does not provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for free accounts — which is a legal requirement under GDPR for any tool that processes personal data on your behalf.
A GDPR-compliant Linktree alternative stores data on EU servers, sets no tracking cookies on visitor profiles, and provides a Data Processing Agreement (DPA). udots meets all three requirements: servers in Frankfurt, Germany, zero tracking cookies, and a free DPA for every account.
Yes. Because Linktree sets tracking cookies on your profile page, your visitors technically need to consent before those cookies are set. udots sets zero cookies on profile pages — so no cookie banner is needed, and your visitors have a cleaner experience.
Linktree offers a DPA only on enterprise-level paid plans. For free accounts and standard paid plans, there is no DPA available. Under GDPR, a DPA is mandatory if a tool processes personal data on your behalf. udots provides a ready-to-sign DPA for every account, including Free.
Beyond GDPR compliance, udots includes a built-in blog editor on your profile (each post gets an SEO URL), a subscriber/email list feature, an impressum page for German creators, and no watermark on the free plan. Linktree charges €24/month for scheduled links and A/B testing — udots includes these from its Creator plan.
Yes. udots has a free plan with no credit card required. Unlimited links, basic analytics, GDPR-compliant EU hosting, DPA and no watermark are all included on the free plan — with no time limit.
No. Your Linktree URL stays live until you choose to deactivate it. You can set up udots, update your social media bios at your own pace, and only deactivate Linktree when you're ready.
All udots data is hosted on DigitalOcean servers in Frankfurt, Germany — fully within the EU. No data is transferred to US servers or any third party outside the EEA.
