Privacy Policy

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password. If you sign up via a third-party provider (Google, GitHub), we receive your name and email from that provider.

Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you use the Service, including links created, QR codes generated, dashboard interactions, and feature usage.

Click Analytics Data: When someone clicks a Lynkd short link, we collect the clicker's IP address (anonymized), approximate geographic location, device type, browser, operating system, and referrer URL. This data is associated with the link, not with any individual user profile.

Payment Information: If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number. We receive your billing name, email, and subscription status from Stripe.

Device and Log Information: We collect standard log information including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and access timestamps.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Lynkd Service
• Generate analytics and reports for link and QR code performance
• Process payments and manage your subscription
• Send transactional emails (account confirmations, password resets, billing receipts)
• Send product updates and marketing communications (you can unsubscribe at any time)
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
• Comply with legal obligations

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the Service. We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for authentication and core functionality
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand usage patterns to improve the Service
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings and display preferences

You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features.

We share information with the following categories of third-party service providers:

• Payment processing: Stripe (for subscription billing)
• Hosting and infrastructure: Vercel, AWS (for application hosting and data storage)
• Email delivery: For transactional and marketing emails
• Analytics: To understand product usage and improve the Service

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We only share data with service providers who need it to perform services on our behalf, and who are contractually obligated to protect it.

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance purposes.

Aggregated, anonymized click analytics data (which cannot identify any individual) may be retained indefinitely for product improvement and benchmarking purposes.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@lynkd.co.

Lynkd is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
