Privacy Policy

LinkShiftr takes the private nature of your personal information very seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how we treat the information we collect when you visit LinkShiftr. Please read this notice very carefully. It is LinkShiftr’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, LinkShiftr collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. LinkShiftr’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how LinkShiftr visitors use its website. From time to time, LinkShiftr may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

LinkShiftr also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. LinkShiftr does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below. Please be aware that LinkShiftr cannot be responsible for the privacy practices of other sites, including those to which we link or whose products or services we reference. We encourage you to read the terms of use and privacy statements of each Web site you visit.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to LinkShiftr websites choose to interact with LinkShiftr in ways that require LinkShiftr to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that LinkShiftr gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at LinkShiftr to provide an email address. Those who engage in transactions with LinkShiftr are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, LinkShiftr collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with LinkShiftr. LinkShiftr does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Sharing of Data

LinkShiftr acknowledges that statistics regarding specific links or LinkShiftr accounts are potentially very sensitive and that account holders of our service generally do not want their individual statistics disclosed to any third party or used by anyone other than themselves for any reason. For these reasons LinkShiftr does not disclose to any third party any information regarding specific destination urls or accounts that are being used by our clients, unless required to do so by law as described below.

Aggregate Statistics

LinkShiftr may collect stats about the general behaviour of visitors to its website. By using this service you allow LinkShiftr to collect and store certain data on your link traffic. We will use this information for things such as feature development or bug fixing purposes. From time to time we may also release statistical reports on the nature of traffic trends such as browser usage or geolocation data. Any reports or sharing of aggregate statistics are of a general nature and will not contain any information that can be linked to any one person or website.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

LinkShiftr discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on LinkShiftr’s behalf or to provide services available at LinkShiftr websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using LinkShiftr websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. LinkShiftr will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, LinkShiftr discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when LinkShiftr believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of LinkShiftr, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a LinkShiftr website and have supplied your email address, LinkShiftr may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with LinkShiftr and our products. We primarily use our website interface to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. LinkShiftr takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information. However, if LinkShiftr or any of its products is sold to a new owner, whether by merger, stock sale, asset sale or other means, we retain the right to transfer your profile, Site Data and all other content, data and information to this new owner, provided the owner agrees to respect the Privacy Policy in effect with respect to this personal data.
