You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where applicable, through consent tools we provide. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

3. Google AdSense and advertising cookies (required AdSense content)

LnksWin displays ads from Google and other third‑party vendors. This section is specifically designed to meet the requirements of Google AdSense’s “Required content” policy.

3.1 Third‑party vendors and cookies

  • Third‑party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to LnksWin or other websites.

  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to LnksWin and/or other sites on the Internet.

3.2 Opting out of personalized advertising

  • Google Ads Settings: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings page: https://adssettings.google.com/

  • AboutAds (for some third‑party vendors): Alternatively, you can opt out of some third‑party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/

3.3 Other third‑party vendors and ad networks

If we have not opted out of third‑party ad serving, the cookies of other third‑party vendors or ad networks may also be used to serve ads on LnksWin.

  • Disclosure:

    • We may work with additional advertising partners and ad networks that use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads and measure their performance.

    • These third parties may collect information about your visits to LnksWin and other websites to provide personalized advertising.

  • Opt‑out information:

    • You can visit the websites of these vendors and ad networks to learn more about their privacy practices and how to opt out of their cookies for personalized advertising (where available).

    • Alternatively, you can use industry opt‑out tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) where applicable.

We may update the list of advertising partners from time to time. When we do, we will ensure that our privacy disclosures remain accurate and up to date.

4. Analytics and performance tools

We may use analytics services (for example, privacy‑friendly analytics or third‑party tools) to help us understand how LnksWin is used and to improve performance. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information such as:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page

  • Links clicked and navigation paths

  • Browser and device information

  • Referrer URLs

Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before using analytics cookies.

5. Legal bases for processing (where applicable)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or another region with similar laws, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Performance of a contract: To provide the Service, manage your account, and process payouts.

  • Legitimate interests: To maintain and improve the Service, prevent fraud and abuse, secure our systems, and analyze usage, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

  • Consent: For placing and accessing non‑essential cookies (including advertising and certain analytics cookies) where required by law, and for sending certain marketing communications where applicable.

  • Legal obligations: To comply with tax, accounting, and other legal requirements.

6. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: With trusted third‑party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery, security, and customer support. These providers are only allowed to use your information as necessary to provide services to us.

  • Advertising partners: With advertising networks and partners (including Google and other third‑party vendors) that serve ads on LnksWin and may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver and measure ads.

  • Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, reorganization, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy.

  • Legal and safety reasons: When we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

    • Comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request

    • Enforce our Terms or other agreements

    • Protect the rights, property, or safety of LnksWin, our users, or others

    • Detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues

  • Aggregated or de‑identified data: We may share aggregated or de‑identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for example in public statistics about link usage.

7. Data retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to:

  • Provide the Service and maintain your account

  • Fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy

  • Comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations

  • Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements

When information is no longer needed, we will delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because it is stored in backup archives), we will securely store it and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures may include encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have some or all of the following rights:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information.

  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., legal obligations, fraud prevention).

  • Restriction: Request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.

  • Objection: Object to certain processing activities, including processing based on legitimate interests and, where applicable, direct marketing.

  • Data portability: Request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format, where technically feasible.

  • Withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., certain cookies), you may withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

You can exercise many of these rights by logging into your account and updating your information, adjusting your cookie preferences (where tools are provided), or contacting us using the details in the “Contact us” section below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

10. International data transfers

LnksWin may be operated from and hosted in countries other than your own. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries that may have data protection laws different from those in your jurisdiction.

Where required by law, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms.

11. Children’s privacy

LnksWin is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or a higher age where required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as reasonably practicable. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

12. Third‑party links

LnksWin may contain links to third‑party websites, services, or content that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third‑party sites or services you visit.

13. Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

If changes are material, we may provide additional notice (for example, by email or by displaying a prominent notice on the site) as required by law. Your continued use of LnksWin after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
