In plain words

Masked.link is a link shortener that creates shortened URLs without storing data on servers. Launched in 2019, it encodes link information directly into the shortened URL itself, eliminating the need for a database. The tool is useful for anyone who wants to share links while minimizing server-side tracking. It appeals to privacy-conscious users and those seeking a lightweight alternative to traditional link shorteners that maintain user records.
