FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 31, 2026
aktar.us introduces bVd — a link-in-bio and digital business card service offering full customization, built-in SEO, and permanent free access, without asking users for a single piece of personal information.
SANTA MARIA CAPUA VETERE / BELGIUM, March 31, 2026 — AkTaRuS, the Italian independent developer behind IRCWebNet, has announced the public availability of bVd (Biglietto da Visita Digitale), a digital business card and link-in-bio service available at aktar.us. The platform allows anyone to create a fully personalized online profile — including social media links, contact details, and web presence — in under two minutes, with no account creation, no email address, and no personal data of any kind required.
The launch positions bVd as a direct alternative to established services in the category, offering a feature set that in several measurable respects exceeds what competing platforms provide on their free plans, while operating on fundamentally different principles regarding user data.
The link-in-bio category has grown significantly over the past decade, driven by social media platforms that restrict users to a single clickable link in their profile bios. Services such as Linktree and Bio.link emerged to address this limitation by offering a single landing page that aggregates multiple links under one shareable URL.
However, the business model underlying virtually every service in this category follows the same pattern: collect user data at registration, build a behavioral profile over time, and monetize the gap between a deliberately limited free plan and a more capable paid subscription. Users who want a page with their own visual identity — without another company’s logo — are typically required to pay monthly fees ranging from five to twenty-four dollars.
Beyond cost, every major service requires mandatory registration before publishing anything. The email address provided becomes a platform asset — used for marketing, behavioral retargeting, and potentially exposed in security incidents. Most free plans also restrict visual customization and provide no search engine optimization for published profiles.
bVd was built as a direct response to these structural conditions.
The service requires no registration at any stage. A user visits aktar.us, selects a personalized address — for example, aktar.us/yourname — with availability verified in real time, adds their links, customizes the visual appearance of the page, and publishes. The complete process takes under two minutes.
Profile security operates through a unique recovery link generated at the moment of publication. This link serves as the user’s complete access credential for future edits — no stored username, no password to reset, no email verification loop. An optional password may be set as an additional security layer.
All of the following are available to every user at no cost, with no registration required:
No registration, no data collection. No email address, password, or personal information of any kind is collected at any point. The platform does not know who its users are. This is not a privacy policy commitment — it is an architectural reality.
15 complete graphic themes. Each theme includes a dedicated background, a coherent color palette, and a distinct visual identity — not 15 color variations of the same layout. This level of visual choice exceeds what Linktree offers on its free plan and significantly upgrades the design options available on Bio.link.
16 font families. Full typographic customization is available on the free plan. Neither Linktree’s free tier nor Bio.link currently offer font selection without a paid subscription.
Unlimited links. Users may add any number of links to any platform or service — Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, personal websites, email, phone, WhatsApp, and any other destination — with no cap or tier-based restriction.
Automatic SEO optimization. Every bVd profile includes correct canonical tags, full OpenGraph metadata, and automatic sitemap inclusion. Search engines index profiles without any additional configuration. This capability is absent from the free plans of all major competitors in the category.
No user tracking. Because no account exists and no personal data is collected, no behavioral profile is built on any user. There is no data to analyze, share with advertising partners, or lose in a security incident.
Permanently free. There is no premium plan, no paid upgrade, and no feature withheld from free users. The complete product is available at no cost, with no expiration and no trial period.

One limitation is worth noting transparently: bVd does not currently offer built-in analytics. Users cannot view click counts or visitor data from within the platform. This reflects the same principle that governs the rest of the service — collecting that data would require tracking user behavior, which the platform is architecturally designed not to do.
“The registration step is not a formality — it is a data collection mechanism. Your email becomes the platform’s asset. Your behavior becomes their product. bVd was built on the premise that a useful tool does not need to know who you are in order to work. You should be able to present yourself online without first presenting yourself to us.”
