At LinkOnMe, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how LinkOnMe (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and safeguards your information when you use our platform (the “Service”).
Information We Collect
We collect information necessary to provide and improve our services:
1. Information You Provide to Us:

Data Sharing
LinkOnMe does not sell your personal information. We only share your data in limited circumstances, such as:
- Service Providers: We share data with trusted service providers (such as cloud hosting, email services, analytics providers, payment processors) solely to support and operate LinkOnMe.
- Legal Obligations: To comply with law enforcement requests, subpoenas, court orders, or legal processes, or to protect our legal rights or the safety of our users and the public.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, sale, or restructuring, data might be transferred to new ownership (with notification to users as required by applicable laws).
Monetization and Payments (Future Use)
LinkOnMe may introduce monetization features in the future. Should this happen, we might collect additional payment or financial information to facilitate transactions and payouts. Any future monetization-related data handling will follow secure industry standards and involve reputable third-party payment providers.
Data Security and Retention
LinkOnMe takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your data, including encryption, secure storage, and restricted access to authorized personnel. However, no method of online transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as legally required. When your account is deleted or terminated, your data will typically be deleted within a reasonable timeframe unless legally required for retention (e.g., financial or legal records).
International Data Transfers
LinkOnMe operates globally, and we may store or process data in locations outside your home country. When transferring personal information internationally, we ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws and adopt safeguards (like Standard Contractual Clauses under GDPR).
