Privacy Policy

What We Collect

Information You Give Us

When you use Linkfount, you provide:

• Your email address (for account creation and important updates)
• Profile information (name, bio, location, professional details)
• Content you create (links, articles, lists, descriptions)
• Files you upload (photos, PDFs, documents)
• Payment information (if you subscribe to premium features)

Information We Collect Automatically

Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical information:

• Basic device and browser information
• How you use the site (pages visited, time spent)
• IP address and general location

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide Linkfount's core features (creating and hosting your personal site)
• Process payments and provide premium features
• Send you important service updates
• Improve the platform and fix problems
• Respond to your questions and support requests
• Protect against spam and abuse

We don't use your information for advertising or sell it to anyone.

Third-Party Services

We use a small number of trusted services to operate Linkfount:

• Cloud hosting & storage — to serve the platform and store your uploaded files
• Payment processing — to securely handle subscription billing (your full card details are never stored on our servers)
• Email delivery — to send transactional emails like password resets and account notifications

These providers only access your data as needed to perform their services and are contractually obligated to protect it.

Data Security

We protect your information using industry-standard security measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and restricted access to production systems. However, no online service is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute protection. We do our best to keep your data safe.

Information Sharing

We share your information in these limited cases:

• When you publish content on your personal site (this is the whole point!)
• With the service providers described above, as needed to operate Linkfount
• If required by law or legal process
• If Linkfount is acquired by another company (we'll notify you beforehand)

We never sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account:

• Your private data (profile, settings, unpublished content) is deleted within 30 days
• Backups containing your data are purged within 90 days
• We may retain minimal records (such as email address and deletion date) as needed for legal compliance or to prevent abuse

Content that was publicly visible may still appear in search engine caches or web archives beyond our control.

Your Rights

You can:

• Access and update your information anytime
• Export all your data
• Delete your account completely
• Opt out of non-essential communications

All of these options are available in your account settings. If you need help exercising any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

International Data

Linkfount is operated by Tilden Software LLC, based in Illinois, United States. If you're using the service from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US. By using Linkfount, you consent to this transfer.

Children's Privacy

We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we discover we have information from a child under 13, we'll delete it promptly. If you think we might have information from a child under 13, please let us know.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies, all essential to the service:

• Session cookie — keeps you logged in while you use the site
• XSRF token — protects against cross-site request forgery attacks
• Preferences — remembers settings like your selected theme

We don't use cookies for advertising, analytics, or tracking your behavior across other websites.

Policy Changes

We may update this policy occasionally. If we make significant changes, we'll let you know by email or through a notice on the site. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
