Who We Are

Welcome! We are Linq App Inc., a Delaware corporation, or as we like to go by “Linq,” “we,” “our,” or “us.” Our mission is to change how the world connects! We offer products, services, and technologies (“Products”) allowing users (“Users”) to organize, display, and share information with their contacts through our software, mobile application, and website (collectively, “Platform”).

We are committed to protecting our User’s privacy through compliance with this Privacy Policy (“Policy”). Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our Policies and practices, do not use our Platform or purchase our Products.

How to Contact Us

If you have any questions about our practices or this Policy, please contact us by email at [email protected] or by mail at Linq App Inc., Attn: Data Privacy Officer, 1904 1st Ave. N, Suite 200, Birmingham, Alabama 35203.

Application of this Policy

When you access our Platform or use our Products, you become a User and you agree to this Policy, our Data Processing Addendum, and our Terms of Service and Sale (collectively, “Policies”). If you have any questions about our practices or this Policy, please contact us by email at [email protected] or by mail at Linq App Inc., Attn: Data Privacy Officer, 1904 1st Ave. N, Suite 200, Birmingham, Alabama 35203.

This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide to us when you visit, register, use, or access our Platform or Products, and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

Categories of Information We Collect or Receive

Our Platform and Products allow Users to customize their pages and profiles by uploading and linking content and information that may be shared with other Users or third-parties. The information that a User may provide on the Platform is broad. We may receive information directly from you when you provide it to us (such as by registering on the Platform or uploading such information to your page on our Platform) or automatically as you access, use, or interact with our Platform or Products (such as your internet connection, the device you used, or the location of that device). We may also receive information when you connect a third-party application to your account on the Platform (e.g., Gmail or Facebook).

There are many occasions when you provide information to us that identifies, relates to, describes, references, or is reasonably capable of being associated with or linked with, directly or indirectly, you, your household, or your device, such as a name, postal address, telephone number, internet protocol (IP) address, or email address (“Personal Information”). Personal Information may also have the meaning given to that term or similar terms (e.g., “personal data”) under applicable law such as the General Data Protection Regulations (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

Because Users have the ability to upload a broad range of information on our Platform, we may receive sensitive information such as your date of birth, racial or ethnic origin, sex, political views or affiliations, veteran or military status, religious or philosophical views or affiliations, or similar information (“Sensitive Information”). We do not require our Users to provide Sensitive Information, but such information may be, directly or indirectly, collected by us through our hosting of the Platform. For example, a User may upload a file with their resume revealing their gender, age, affiliations, or employment history.

Additionally, our Platform and Products allow you to upload and share information that is not Personal Information or Sensitive Information, such as your hobbies, pictures, links, descriptions, messages, and comments (“Other Information” and together with Personal Information and Sensitive Information, collectively, “Information”). Because our Platform allows you to choose the Information associated with your account or displayed on your page or profile, we may tie Other Information to Personal Information or Sensitive Information about you.

We may collect or receive from you the Information outlined below:

Third-Party Sources, Cookies, and Other Tracking Technologies

We may also collect or receive Personal Information from third-party sources and the Platform may contain links to other sites. Any Information you provide on the linked pages is provided directly to that third-party and is subject to their terms and policies. This Policy does not apply to such linked third-party sites, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of these sites or any other sites that are linked to or from our Platform.

Some Information on the Platform may be served by a third-party, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect Information about you. The Information they collect may be associated with your Personal Information or Sensitive Information or they may collect Information, including Personal Information, about your activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this Information to provide you with interest-based advertising or other targeted content. We do not control third-party tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

We may collect Information regarding your usage of the Platform, including the pages and links you viewed, time spent using our Platform, demographic data such as server locations, connection speed, and Other Information that does not identify you. Like most online services, we also use cookies, log files, clear GIFs, tracking pixels, web beacons, and other technologies that may collect Personal Information.

When you visit our Platform, we may send one or more “cookies” – small data files – to your device to uniquely identify your browser and allow us to help you enhance your navigation of our Platform. A cookie may convey Information about how you use our Platform or Products so we can provide you with a more personalized experience. A persistent cookie remains on your device after you close your browser so that it can be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our Platform. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. Our Platform may use the following types of cookies, logs, web beacons, and other tracking technology:

How Can I Disable Cookies?

You can typically reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “settings”, “help” or “tools” function). Many browsers default to accept cookies until you change your settings.

If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Platform and some features of the Platform may not function properly. For example, we may not be able to recognize your device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Platform.

Visit www.allaboutcookies.org or www.whatarecookies.com for more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them.

Currently, we do not respond to web browsers’ “do not track” signals that provide a method to opt-out of the collection of Information about User activities on the Platform. If we do so in the future, we will provide relevant information in this Policy.

We may need specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access such Personal Information (or to exercise any of your other rights).

To the extent a request is made pursuant to the CCPA, any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
