Thank you for using Linku2. The following is our Privacy Statement designed to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

What information do we collect? We collect information in a few different ways:
When you give it to us or give us permission to obtain it - When you sign up for or use our services, you voluntarily give us certain information. This can include your name, logo, company details and other such information. If you take one of our plans you may also provide payment information and bank details. You may potentially give us permission to access your information in other services, for example, you may link your Facebook or Twitter account where we can also obtain information (like your friends or contacts). The information we get from those services often depends on your settings or their privacy policies, so be sure to check what those are.

We also get technical information when you use our services - These days, whenever you use a website, mobile application, or other internet service, there’s certain information that almost always gets created and recorded automatically. This could include log data (information your browser sends when you visit a website or your mobile app sends when you’re using it). We may also collect information about the device you are using such as your operating system, device settings, etc. Often this depends on what type of device you’re using and its settings.

Our partners and advertisers may share information with us - We may get information about you and your activity from advertisers, partners and other third parties we work with. This could include data such as when you run ads to measure and/or improve links.

How do we use the information we collect?
We use the information we collect to provide our products to you and make them better, develop new products, and protect Linku2 and our users. For example, we may log how often people use two different versions of a service, which can help us understand which version is preferred.

If you make a purchase through Linku2 we may save your payment information and contact information so that you can use them the next time you want to buy something through us.

We also use the information we collect to offer you customized content which can target your online advertising. We also use the information we collect to send you updates, newsletters, marketing materials and other information that may be of interest to you or to respond to comments or questions you may have.

The information we collect may be “personally identifiable” (meaning it can be used to specifically identify you as a unique person) or “non-personally identifiable” (meaning it can’t be used to specifically identify you). We use both types of information, and combinations of both types, as described above. We may use or store information wherever Linku2 does business, including countries outside your own.

What choices do you have about your information?Our goal is to give you simple and meaningful choices over your information. If you link through Linku2 you do not have direct access but you can request changes to your information at any time, choose whether your business information pages are available to search engines, or choose whether others can find your advertising through Linku2. You need to ensure you advise if you wish these options to be turned off.

You may close your account and remove your advertising at any time. When you unsubscribe or close your account, we’ll remove your details and links from our sites. We will however retain archived copies of your information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (including to help address fraud and spam).

How and when do we share information?
We share your business information through our social channels and through our social media programmes, not your personal information, unless related to your business. If you do not wish this please ensure we have been advised in writing

Anyone can see the information you make public through us. Other instances where we may share your information include when we have your consent, when you buy through us using paypal or your credit card, we share your credit card information, contact information, and other information about the transaction with the merchant you’re buying from who must treat this information as if you had made a purchase from them directly, which means their privacy policies and marketing policies apply to the information we share with them.

We may employ third party companies or individuals to process personal information on our behalf based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy. For example, we may share data with a security consultant to help us get better at identifying spam. In addition, some of the information we request may be collected by third party providers on our behalf. If we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety, rights, or property of the public, any person, or Linku2; or to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues. We may engage in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, or similar transaction or proceeding that involves the transfer of the information described in this Policy.

How do we make changes to this policy?
We may change this policy from time to time, and if we do we’ll post any changes through a website home page link onsite for a minimum of 4 weeks. If you continue to use Linku2 after those changes are in effect, you agree to the revised policy. If the changes are significant, we may provide more prominent notice or get your consent as required by law.
