Last updated: v1.3 — this policy may be updated at any time by the website management team (see Section 13).

This Privacy Policy describes how linkipi (“the Portal”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, stores and protects your information when you visit or use our website and services. The Portal is operated from Patna, Bihar, India.

By using the Portal you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Portal immediately.

1. Who We Are

linkipi is a self-service platform that allows registered users to create public bio-link pages and cards (bio, website, product, service and portfolio cards) that link to third-party websites, products and services chosen by the users themselves.

2. Information We Collect

Account information you provide at registration: name, username, email address and password (stored as a one-way hash).
Card content you publish: titles, descriptions, links, prices, images, social profiles and any other details you choose to add to your cards.
Uploaded files such as profile pictures, cover images and advertisement media.
Automatic data: IP address, browser type, referring pages and basic analytics such as link click counts and page views.
Communication data: messages you send to us (support requests, reports and OTP verification records).

3. How We Use Your Information

To create and manage your account and render your public card pages.
To operate, maintain and improve the Portal, including search and category features.
To verify accounts (OTP) and send service emails such as password resets.
To display advertising, including Google AdSense ads, which keep the Portal free.
To prevent abuse, investigate reports and enforce our Terms & Conditions.
To comply with legal obligations.

4. Cookies and Google AdSense

The Portal uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences and measure traffic.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
You can also disable cookies in your browser settings; some parts of the Portal may then stop working.

5. Third-Party Privacy Policies

Our Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Card pages created by users may link to external websites that we do not operate. We advise you to consult the respective privacy policies of any third-party sites for more detailed information, including their practices and instructions on how to opt out of certain options. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.

6. User-Generated Content and Responsibility

IMPORTANT: The Portal is a hosting platform for user-generated content. We do not pre-screen all content and we are not responsible for any data, details, links, images, videos or text posted by users. Each user is solely and personally responsible for the content he or she publishes on the Portal, including its legality, accuracy and safety. Any claim or dispute arising from user-posted content is strictly between the user and the affected party.

7. Content Moderation and Enforcement

To keep the Portal safe we actively monitor reports. The Portal does not allow any sexual activity or content of any kind (images, video, text or any other form) and does not allow any other harmful, illegal, violent, hateful, fraudulent or misleading activity or content.

We may set any card or account to inactive, ban a user, or delete a user account together with the complete posted data including all cards, links, uploads and advertisements, with or without prior notice, when we believe a rule or law has been broken.
Users may delete their own cards, links, ads and account data at any time from the user panel.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. When you delete content or your account, the associated data is removed from our active database; residual backups may persist for a limited technical period before being permanently purged.

9. Children's Information

The Portal is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you believe your child provided such information on our website, please contact us immediately and we will do our best to promptly remove it from our records.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can exercise most of these rights directly from your account dashboard or by contacting us.

11. Data Security

We apply industry-standard measures: password hashing, prepared SQL statements, CSRF protection, input sanitization, output escaping and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Legal Requests

We may disclose information when required by law, court order or governmental authority, or when necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the Portal, its users or the public.

The website management team can change this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes take effect as soon as they are published on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of the Portal after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. Please review this page periodically.
