Privacy Policy: Keeping Your Info Safe! 🛡️

1. Who is taking care of your data?

For everything mentioned here, Linkysoft is the "data controller"—which means we decide what data we collect and why we need it.

Linkysoft is a super friendly software company based in Egypt and the UK, with an incredible global team! This policy covers all the personal data we handle for our own business—like your questions, job applications, project requests, and the basic stats that help our website run perfectly.

2. What kind of info do we collect?

Information you happily share with us

When you reach out, apply for a job, start a project, or sign up for our awesome newsletter, you share things like your name, email, phone number, and project details. If you're applying for a job, this also includes your amazing resume!

If you start a project and make an account, we also safely store your login details so you can easily sign back in anytime!

Information we gather automatically

Like most modern websites, we quietly note some basic technical details when you visit—like the device you are using, your general location, and which pages you loved looking at! We use simple cookies for this, and our Cookie Guide explains it all perfectly.

Information from friends and partners

Sometimes we get info from outside friends—like if a partner sends you our way, or from public professional profiles you have shared. We always use this info respectfully and exactly as you would expect!

3. How we use your data to help you

We only use your personal data to run our business and give you the best experience possible! We never treat you or your data as a product. We use it to:

• Happily reply to your messages and give you great quotes and support!
• Deliver, manage, and constantly improve the amazing projects you trust us with!
• Carefully review your job applications and get back to you fast!
• Send you exciting updates and content you asked for—and you can unsubscribe instantly anytime!
• Keep our website running incredibly fast and secure!
• Follow all the important legal rules and keep everyone completely safe from fraud!

We promise we never use your data to make automatic decisions that would hurt you legally or personally!

4. The legal reasons we use your data

Where awesome data protection laws like the GDPR apply, we always make sure we have a solid legal reason for everything we do:

Contract

To take the steps you ask for before we start working together, and to deliver an amazing project once we do!

Legitimate interests

To smoothly run, secure, and improve our business—always balancing this perfectly with your absolute rights!

Consent

For fun optional things you choose, like our newsletter or extra cookies. You can always change your mind at any time!

Legal obligation

To happily comply with all the laws that apply to us, like tax rules!

5. Cookies & fun similar technologies

We use a tiny bit of cookies to keep our website working perfectly, remember what you like (like dark mode!), and see how many friends visit us! The essential ones are always on, but everything else is completely up to you! Our Cookie Guide lists them all.

6. Who we share data with—and who we NEVER share it with

We will NEVER sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Period! There are no secret money-making schemes hiding here.

We only share it super carefully when we absolutely need to, with:

• Our trusted service providers who help us run things—like email and analytics tools. They are bound by strict contracts to only follow our instructions!
• Professional friends (like our accountants and lawyers) when it is genuinely necessary.
• Authorities, but only if the law strictly requires it or to keep everyone safe!
• A new owner, if our business ever changes hands—and even then, your data stays perfectly protected!

7. Travelling data (International transfers)

We are a fun global team and use top-notch international providers, so your data might travel to other countries! Whenever we move personal data across borders, we put amazing safeguards in place so it stays wonderfully protected!

8. How long we keep your data around

We only keep personal data for as long as we actually need it, and then we safely delete or anonymize it! This usually means we keep project data for the life of our relationship plus a reasonable time after, and job applications for a short time unless you ask us to keep you in mind!

9. How we keep everything super safe

Security is incredibly important to us! We encrypt your data while it travels and while it rests. We strictly limit who can see it, and we use the same awesome security tools on our own systems that we use for our clients! We take protecting you super seriously!

10. Your amazing rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you have awesome rights over your data. No matter where you are, we happily honor the spirit of all of these:

• Access — you can always ask for a copy of the data we have about you!
• Correction — we will happily fix anything that is wrong or missing!
• Deletion — you can ask us to erase your data if there is no strong reason to keep it!
• Restriction and objection — you can tell us to stop using your data for certain things!
• Portability — we will give you your data in a format you can easily take anywhere!
• Withdraw consent — you can change your mind about anything you opted into at any time!

To use any of these cool rights, just email us at [email protected]! We will get back to you super fast, and it is totally free!

11. Protecting children

Our awesome site and services are made for businesses and adults. We never aim them at kids, and we never knowingly collect data from anyone under 16! If you think a child has shared info with us, please tell us and we will delete it right away!

12. Data inside the amazing systems we build for clients

We want to be super clear! When you are our amazing client and we build a system for you, the people using that system are YOUR users, and YOU are in control of their data. We only process it to make your project work wonderfully, exactly as you instruct us!

So, if you are using a system we built for someone else, their privacy policy applies to you, not this one! This policy is just for the data Linkysoft uses for our own business.

13. Updates to this policy

We will happily update this policy as we grow and laws change! When we make important updates, we will change the date at the top and let you know if needed. We encourage you to check back here sometimes!

14. Get in touch with us!

If you have any questions or concerns about your data, just email [email protected], or use our contact page. A real, wonderful person will be thrilled to help you!
