UseClick: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

UseClick is a link platform with three parts: short links, link-in-bio pages and website analytics. For short links it offers branded links, folders, bulk upload, QR codes, geo-targeting, custom domains, a UTM builder and A/B testing. Link-in-bio pages are built from content blocks and themes. The analytics feature shows traffic, geography, audience and sources and, according to the vendor, uses no cookies and stores no IP addresses. An API, an MCP server for AI agents and integrations such as Zapier and Shopify are also available. UseClick is delivered as SaaS.

According to its legal notice, UseClick is operated by an individual, Peter Csipkay, in Starnberg, Germany. The privacy policy states that the database holding link, click and analytics data is hosted by Supabase in Frankfurt. Application hosting is provided by Vercel in the US, Cloudflare (US, worldwide edge network) provides CDN and bot protection, and requests can be processed outside the EU, for example while a click is redirected. The site mentions no open-source licence or self-hosting option.

Why digital sovereignty matters with UseClick

UseClick is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

UseClick hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

UseClick is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs UseClick together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
