Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 12, 2026 · Update this policy to reflect your actual business practices and local legal requirements.

1. Who operates LinkPilot

LinkPilot is operated by the website owner. Before public launch, replace this section with the operator's legal name, postal address, jurisdiction, and privacy contact email.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the service, we may process account username and email, password hashes, configured destination URLs, link titles and slugs, link and destination click counters, plan status, payment order amount and transaction reference, administrator actions, and support messages. Guest link limits use a keyed one-way HMAC derived from the visitor IP address; the guest-usage table is designed not to store the raw IP. Hosting infrastructure may keep standard server logs, including IP addresses, request paths, timestamps, and security events.

3. How information is used

We use information to create and manage accounts and short links, route visits to configured destinations, apply plan limits, measure service usage, review payment orders, prevent abuse, maintain security, provide support, and comply with legal obligations.

4. Google Analytics and cookies

If the operator enables Google Analytics 4, Google may collect information such as page interactions, browser/device details, approximate location derived from technical signals, identifiers, and usage data according to the Analytics configuration and Google's policies. The service also uses session cookies to keep users and administrators signed in. Analytics and cookie controls should be configured according to the jurisdictions where visitors live; where legally required, obtain consent before non-essential analytics cookies are set.

5. Payment information

LinkPilot stores order amounts, selected plan, order status, and any transaction reference submitted by the user. Do not submit wallet seed phrases, private keys, passwords, or one-time codes. If a third-party payment provider is used, that provider may separately process payment data under its own privacy policy. This application should not collect or store full payment-card details.

6. Sharing and service providers

Information may be processed by the hosting provider, database provider, analytics provider, payment provider, and technical service providers needed to run the website. We may disclose information where required by law or reasonably necessary to investigate abuse, protect the service, or respond to valid legal requests. This policy should be updated if additional integrations are enabled.

7. Retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, maintain security and accounting records, resolve disputes, and meet legal requirements. Use HTTPS, restricted database permissions, strong administrator passwords, software updates, and routine backups. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, or restrict processing of your personal information, and to withdraw consent. Contact the operator using the published privacy contact details. Some records may need to be retained for security, fraud prevention, accounting, or legal compliance.

9. Children and third-party destinations

The service is not intended for children where use would be unlawful. Short links may send visitors to third-party websites with separate privacy practices; the LinkPilot operator does not control those sites.

10. Updates and contact

We may update this policy by publishing a revised version and effective date. Replace all starter details with accurate operator information and obtain legal review for applicable privacy, cookie, consumer, and data-protection requirements.
