When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and profile information. When you use our services, we automatically collect usage data including page views, click analytics, IP addresses, browser type, and device information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide and improve our services, personalize your experience, send important updates about your account, and generate aggregate analytics. We never sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Data Sharing

We share data only with service providers who assist in operating our platform (hosting, payment processing, analytics). All providers are contractually obligated to protect your data. We may disclose data when required by law or to protect our rights.

4. Analytics & Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide analytics to our users, remember preferences, and improve our services. You can control cookie settings through your browser. Analytics data shown to page owners is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS 1.3), encryption at rest, regular security audits, and access controls. While no system is 100% secure, we take every reasonable step to protect your data.

LinkForest is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
