Privacy Policy

At LinkeFly (accessible from https://linkefly.xyz/), one of our highest priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document details the types of information collected and recorded by LinkeFly, how we use it, and how your personal data is protected in full compliance with global privacy regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, and Google AdSense policies.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, please feel free to reach out to us at privacy@linkefly.xyz or through our Contact Page.

1. Client-Side & In-Browser Processing (Our Privacy Promise)

Unlike many online converter websites, LinkeFly prioritizes local, client-side processing wherever technically feasible. Most of our text utilities, code minifiers (HTML, CSS, JS), formatting tools, Base64 converters, and cryptographic hash generators run directly within your web browser using client-side JavaScript.

• Your source code, input text, and confidential strings are never stored, harvested, or transmitted to third-party databases.
• When an operation requires server processing (such as select PDF or image conversions), files are processed in ephemeral memory and permanently deleted immediately after conversion.
• We never sell, rent, or trade your personal content under any circumstances.

2. Standard Log Files

LinkeFly follows a standard industry procedure of using server log files. These files log visitors when they access our websites. All reputable hosting providers do this as part of hosting service analytics. The information collected by log files includes:

• Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
• Browser type and version
• Internet Service Provider (ISP)
• Date and time stamp
• Referring and exit pages
• Number of clicks and navigational patterns

This information is not linked to any personally identifiable information. The purpose is purely for analyzing technical performance, administering the site, tracking aggregate movements, and gathering demographic statistics to keep our servers running fast and securely.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other modern web application, LinkeFly uses "cookies". Cookies are small text files stored on your device that store preferences, session state (such as light or dark theme preference), and pages visited. This information optimizes the user experience by customizing content according to visitor browser type or other technical attributes.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites.

4. Google DoubleClick DART Cookies & Google AdSense

Google is a third-party vendor on our website. It uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve advertisements to our visitors based upon their visit to linkefly.xyz and other websites across the internet.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Visitors may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative Consumer Opt-Out Page.

5. CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California consumers possess specific rights regarding their personal data:

• Right to Know: Request disclosure of categories and specific pieces of personal data collected.
• Right to Deletion: Request deletion of any personal data collected.
• Right to Opt-Out: Request that a business not sell the consumer's personal data. LinkeFly does not sell any personal consumer data.

If you make a request under CCPA, we have one month to respond to you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

6. GDPR Data Protection Rights

We are fully committed to ensuring you are aware of all your data protection rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• The right to rectification: You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete information.
• The right to erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You have the right to request erasure of your personal data under certain conditions.
• The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request restriction of personal data processing under certain conditions.
• The right to data portability: You have the right to request transfer of collected data to another organization or directly to you.

7. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.

LinkeFly does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will promptly remove such information from our records.

8. Consent

By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms and conditions.
