Link previews
How Sizably reads the links people save, so they show as cards, and how to reach us about it.
What SizablyBot does
When someone saves a link on their Sizably profile, SizablyBot visits that page once to read its title, description, picture, and icon. The link then shows as a card, so a gift giver can tell what it is at a glance.
- It names itself in every request as SizablyBot/1.0, with a link to this page.
- It fetches only pages people saved. It does not follow links, run scripts, sign in, or crawl a site.
- It reads the top of the page, up to 1 MB, and at most one picture and one icon.
- It checks each page again about once a month while someone still has it saved.
Pictures stay with us
Sizably keeps its own copy of a page’s picture and icon. People who look at a profile load the copy, so a site never learns who viewed a saved link.
