Privacy Policy - Linksdy

Linksdy ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information when you use the Linksdy platform ("Service").

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information

When you register, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed password. Sellers may optionally provide payment details for withdrawals.

1.2 Transaction Data

When you place or fulfill an order, we collect order details including website URLs, anchor text, target URLs, and transaction amounts. Payment processing is handled by Creem; we store only a reference to the checkout session, not your full card details.

1.3 Website Listing Data

Sellers submitting a website provide the domain URL, niche, pricing, and traffic metrics. This information is displayed publicly to buyers on the platform.

1.4 Usage Data

We may collect standard server log data including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps to ensure platform stability and security.

2. How We Use Your Information

To create and manage your account
To process orders and payments between buyers and sellers
To review and approve website listings
To send transactional emails (order confirmations, delivery notifications)
To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
To respond to support inquiries
To improve the platform through aggregated analytics

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only as follows:

Between buyers and sellers: Order details (anchor text, target URL, delivery URL) are shared between the relevant buyer and seller to fulfill the transaction.
Payment processor: Payment data is processed by Creem under their own privacy policy. We share only what is necessary to initiate a checkout.
Legal obligations: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Linksdy or its users.

4. Data Retention

We retain account data for as long as your account is active. Transaction records are kept for a minimum of 5 years for legal and financial compliance purposes. You may request deletion of your account by contacting support@linksdy.com; transaction records required for compliance will be retained separately.

5. Cookies

Linksdy uses only essential cookies — specifically a JWT authentication token stored in your browser's localStorage to maintain your login session. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, hashed password storage (bcrypt), and JWT-based session management. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure; however, we take reasonable precautions to protect your data.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Correct inaccurate data
Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements)
Object to processing of your data
Data portability

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@linksdy.com.

8. Third-Party Links

Website listings on Linksdy link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies independently.

9. Children's Privacy

Linksdy is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email or a prominent notice on the platform. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
