How to track who clicked your link (and when)

"Can I see who clicked my link?" It's one of the most-searched link questions — and the honest answer is: you can see a lot, privately, without crossing the creepy line.

What you can know

• That a click happened, in real time.
• Approximate location — city and country, derived from IP (which should be hashed, not stored raw).
• Device & browser — desktop vs mobile, iOS vs Android.
• Referrer — roughly where the click came from.

What you can't (and shouldn't) know

You can't see a person's name, email, or identity from a plain link click — and you shouldn't try to. Tools that promise to "deanonymise" visitors wander into legally risky, privacy-hostile territory. A trustworthy link tracker stays at the aggregate, privacy-first level.

Make it real-time

The difference-maker isn't more data — it's timing. Knowing someone clicked your offer right now beats a detailed report tomorrow. That's why a notification-first approach wins for outreach.
