Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
This policy explains how [Company legal name], [Registered address] (registry code [Registry code]) ("LinkedInLikes", "we") handles personal data when you use linkedinlikes.com. We are the data controller. Contact: legal@linkedinlikes.com.
The short version: we collect what we need to run your account and the community, we don't use advertising trackers or analytics cookies (only cookieless, aggregated visit counts), we don't sell or share your data for advertising, and you can export or delete your data in Settings at any time.
1. What we collect
| Data | When | Why | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email address, nickname, password (stored only as a salted hash) | Sign-up | Create and secure your account, send account emails | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Time you accepted the Terms and confirmed you are 18+ | Sign-up | Record of acceptance and age check | Legal obligation / legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(c), (f)) |
| Tasks: LinkedIn links you submit, action, points, progress | When you create a task | Show your task to members and run the exchange | Contract |
| Completions: which tasks you opened and confirmed, and when | When you complete tasks | Award points, prevent double completions, handle "not done" reports | Contract |
| Points history | Ongoing | Show your balance and history, prevent abuse | Contract |
| IP address, browser user agent | Sign-up, log-in, sessions, forms | Security, rate limiting, fraud and spam prevention | Legitimate interests |
| Reports and notices you send, and our decisions | When you report something | Moderation and our duties under the Digital Services Act | Legal obligation / legitimate interests |

| Text you enter into AI tools | When you use a generator | Produce the result; not stored by us | Legitimate interests (providing the tool you asked for) |
We don't ask for and never receive your LinkedIn password, cookies or account data. We don't read or store the content of the LinkedIn posts behind task links.
2. What other people can see
- Logged-in members see your nickname and the links, actions and progress of your running tasks.
- The public "Lucky today" section may show your nickname and the type of a running task (never the link).
- Task owners see the nicknames of members who completed their tasks.
- Your email address is never shown to other members.
3. Who processes data for us
| Provider | What they do | Location / safeguards |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Hosting, database (D1), security and bot checks (Turnstile), AI model hosting for the generators (Workers AI), cookieless visit statistics (Web Analytics) | Global network, USA; EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses |
| Amazon Web Services, Inc. (Amazon SES) | Sending account emails (confirmation, password reset) | USA; EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses |
These providers act as our processors under data processing agreements. We may also disclose data when required by law, to protect our rights or users' safety, or as part of a merger or sale of the business (with notice to you).
4. How long we keep data
- Account, tasks, completions and points history: until you delete your account.
- Login sessions: 30 days. Confirmation links: 24 hours. Password-reset links: 1 hour.
- Rate-limiting records (IP-based counters): up to 2 days.
- Reports, notices and moderation decisions: up to 12 months after the case is closed, longer only if needed for legal claims.
- Email delivery logs at our email provider: according to the provider's retention, typically up to 30 days.
5. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to access, correct, delete and export your data, to object to or restrict processing based on legitimate interests, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it.
- Export: Dashboard → Settings → Download my data (JSON).
- Delete: Dashboard → Settings → Delete account. Deletion is immediate and permanent.
- Anything else: email legal@linkedinlikes.com. We answer within one month.
If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
6. Automated decisions
Some protections run automatically: rate limits, the daily points limit, and suspension after 5 confirmed "not done" reports. You can ask for a human review of any such decision by writing to us.
7. Cookies and local storage
We only use cookies that are strictly necessary for the service (log-in session and security). Free tools may remember what you typed in your browser's local storage on your own device. We don't use advertising or analytics cookies; visit statistics come from Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies. Details: Cookie Policy.
8. Security
Passwords are stored as salted PBKDF2 hashes, sessions use random tokens stored only as hashes, all traffic is encrypted with TLS, and we collect as little as we can. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.
9. Children
LinkedInLikes is only for people aged 18 and over. We delete accounts we learn belong to someone younger.
10. Notice for California residents
In the last 12 months we collected identifiers (email, nickname, IP address), internet activity on our site (tasks, completions) and inferences limited to fraud prevention, for the purposes above. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, and we don't use or disclose sensitive personal information. You may request to know, delete or correct your information and won't be discriminated against for doing so. Email legal@linkedinlikes.com.
11. Changes
We will post changes here and tell you by email or in the product if they are significant.
