FAQ

The answers, straight up.

Everything we get asked most often, from the first username to account deletion. Short answers that dodge nothing.

First steps

How do I create my page?

Pick a username, create your account, add your links: your page is live in two minutes at phare.in/yourname. No credit card required.

What are the username rules?

From 4 to 30 characters: lowercase letters, digits and dashes. Some names are reserved (api, admin, phare…) to avoid confusion and impersonation.

Is it really free?

Yes. The Glow plan is free, with no trial period and no catch: 10 links, full customization and anonymous statistics over 90 days. It stays free for as long as you want.

Do I need to install anything?

No, everything happens in the browser. You manage your page from app.phare.in, your visitors view it at phare.in/yourname, on any device.

Customization

What can I customize?

The background (solid or gradient, with its angle), the color and size of the name and bio, button colors, button style and radius, and the font among 9 Google Fonts typefaces. Ready-made themes serve as starting points, but everything stays adjustable: the combinations are endless.

Can I hide the "Powered by phare" badge?

Yes, with the Spark plan: a simple switch in the appearance editor. On Glow, the badge stays at the bottom of the page.

Does my avatar need to be the right format?

No. Upload your image as it is: it is cropped and automatically converted to lightweight WebP, so your page stays fast to load.

What if my colors make the text unreadable?

The editor computes contrast against WCAG thresholds and warns you if a combination may be hard to read. The warning never blocks: you stay in charge of the style.

Plans and payment

What are the plans?

Glow is free: 10 links, full customization, stats over 90 days. Spark costs $2.99 a month or $29.90 a year: unlimited links, scheduling, a spotlighted link, a QR code, 12 months of stats with CSV export and a hideable badge. Beam, built for creators, is coming soon.

Is yearly worth it?

Yes: $29.90 a year, which is two months free compared to monthly. Prices include taxes, and there are no hidden costs.

How do I cancel my subscription?

In two clicks, from your account. The plan stays active until the end of the period already paid, with no renewal and no penalty.

What happens if I go back to Glow?

Nothing is ever deleted. Links beyond 10 are unpublished but stay in your dashboard, the badge comes back and stats return to 90 days of history.

Data and privacy

Do you use tracking cookies?

None. Your public page sets no tracking cookie and loads no advertising script. Your visitors have no banner to put up with.

How can statistics be anonymous?

Each visit is reduced to a hashed fingerprint, computed with a secret salt and the day's date. The IP address is never stored, and the fingerprint changes every night: impossible to follow anyone over time.

How long do you keep visit data?

Twelve months at most. Older events are purged automatically every night. The full policy is detailed on the privacy page.

Account

How do I export my data?

From your account, at any time: a full, readable JSON export with your profile, your theme, your links and your aggregated statistics.

How do I delete my account?

From your account, in two clicks. Deletion is immediate and permanent: page, links, statistics and avatar disappear together.

I forgot my password, what now?

Use "Forgot password" on the sign-in page: a single-use reset link is sent to you by email.

One link.
All you.

Pick your username, add your links, share a single link everywhere. It's free, and it's live in two minutes.
