Privacy when sharing links rarely means “becoming invisible.” Most of the time it’s something very concrete: send less unnecessary extra data — and choose what’s inside the link.
Many links include extra parameters like utm_*, gclid, or fbclid.
Those add-ons can carry context about source, campaign, or click path — even if the destination page is the same.

Rule of thumb: not every parameter is tracking — but many tracking parameters are unnecessary for sharing.
No single step makes you “invisible.” Impact comes from combining small habits. Here’s a practical A → C ladder.
SafeShare targets one clear slice: reduce link-borne extra data (tracking parameters) before sharing.
Tip: to link “Privacy when sharing links”, use /en/privacy-when-sharing-links/.
Often it’s extra data in the URL itself (utm_*, fbclid, gclid) that reveals source/campaign/click path.
No. It reduces parameter-based tracking, but not IP logs, fingerprinting, or post-login tracking.
Block third-party cookies, enable tracking protection, keep permissions minimal, and clean links before sharing.
No. SafeShare is local-first: cleaning happens in your browser. Links are not uploaded to SafeShare servers.
