We wrote this policy to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it and what choices you have about it. Since we’re an internet company, some of the concepts below are a little technical, but we’ve tried the best to explain them in a simple way. We welcome your questions and queries on this policy.

We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. We use your Personal Information for providing and improving the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible at http://bio.link

The most common types of information we collect include: user-names, email addresses, IP addresses, payment information such as payment agent details (for paid plans),browser types, time zone settings, the time spent on webpages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data, your actions on our Sites (including any selections or inputs into items) and web and email analytics data. We may also collect and store information about your approximate location (e.g. your country) using geographic information from your IP address.

Where you give us consent to use the collected data:

That said, when you visit our site, there’s certain information that’s recorded which is generally anonymous information and does not reveal your identity.

If you make your personal information available to other people, we can’t control or accept responsibility for the way they will use or manage that data. There are lots of ways that you can find yourself providing information to other people, like when you post a public message on a forum thread, share information via social media, or make contact with another user (such as a third party Author) whether via our Sites or directly via email.

Before making your information publicly available or giving your information to anyone else, think carefully.
