1. Introduction

At Link Forge IT, we respect your right to privacy and are committed to safeguarding personal data across Linkforgeit.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, the lawful bases and purposes for processing it, how we protect it, and how you can exercise your legal rights.

By accessing or using Linkforgeit.com, you acknowledge the terms described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We categorize the data collected through our services into two streams:

A. Personal Information (Provided by You)

We collect identifiable data when you register an account, purchase digital marketing or backlink services, request support, or submit inquiry forms. This includes:

  • Contact Details: Full name, business name, and email address.

  • Account Credentials: Username, encrypted passwords, and profile settings.

  • Billing Information: Invoicing address, tax identification numbers, and transactional records (all credit card details are handled directly by PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment gateways; we do not store raw card numbers).

  • Project Specifications: Target URLs, anchor text lists, editorial preferences, and support tickets.

B. Technical & Usage Information (Collected Automatically)

When you browse our platform, our infrastructure logs standard network telemetry:

  • Device & Network Data: IP address, internet service provider (ISP), browser type and version, operating system, and language settings.

  • Platform Analytics: Referring/exit pages, timestamps, clickstream activity, and session durations.

3. Lawful Basis and Purpose of Processing

We process personal data only when an applicable legal basis exists:

  • Contract Performance: To fulfill orders, manage user accounts, deliver guest posting and SEO placements, and handle customer support.

  • Legitimate Interests: To prevent fraud, maintain platform security, optimize site architecture, and analyze usage trends.

  • Legal Compliance: To maintain accounting and taxation records, resolve disputes, and comply with binding legal orders.

  • Consent: To deliver marketing communications or non-essential cookies where explicit opt-in consent is provided (revocable at any time).

4. Cookies and Web Technologies

Linkforgeit.com uses first-party and third-party cookies to ensure site functionality and evaluate traffic patterns:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for authentication, session handling, and security. Cannot be switched off.

  • Analytical & Performance Cookies: Track aggregate traffic metrics and user navigation paths to help us improve page load speed and user journeys.

  • Preference Cookies: Store user choices (such as interface display preferences and regional settings).

You can control or disable non-essential cookies via your browser settings or our on-site cookie banner.

5. Third-Party Sharing and Data Transfers

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only disclose data to third parties under the following conditions:

  • Service Providers: Vetted third parties assisting with hosting infrastructure, payment processing (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), automated email delivery, and customer service ticketing.

  • Legal Obligations: When required by law, court order, or governmental authority to comply with statutory duties.

  • Cross-Border Transfers: If you access our platform from outside the United States or European Economic Area (EEA), your information may be processed in jurisdictions with differing data protection laws. Where required, we utilize standard contractual clauses (SCCs) to ensure equivalent protection.

6. Data Security and Retention

  • Security Controls: We implement industry-standard safeguards, including TLS/SSL encryption for data in transit, strict access control protocols, and isolated server environments to protect against unauthorized access or alteration.

  • Retention Periods: We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill active service contracts, maintain accurate financial records (typically 5–7 years for tax accounting), or until you request deletion where legally permitted.

7. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on your geographic location, you hold statutory rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to Access & Portability: Request a copy of the personal information we maintain about you in a structured, portable format.

  • Right to Rectification: Request corrections to inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated data.

  • Right to Erasure ("To Be Forgotten"): Request the permanent deletion of your personal data, subject to statutory retention exceptions.

  • Right to Restrict or Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.

  • Non-Discrimination: We will not deny services, charge different prices, or alter service quality if you exercise your privacy rights.
