Privacy Policy

TheLinkTree is an independent link-in-bio platform operated at thelinktree.com. We are not affiliated with Linktree® (linktr.ee). By using our website or creating an account, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the service.

This policy applies to visitors, registered users, and anyone who interacts with public profile pages hosted on TheLinkTree.

We collect information in three primary ways:

• Information you provide directly (account registration, profile content, contact forms).
• Information collected automatically when you use the site (device, logs, analytics).
• Information from third-party services you choose to use (for example, payment processors or advertising partners).

Depending on how you use TheLinkTree, we may collect:

• Name, username, email address, and password.
• Profile details such as bio, profile photo, social links, and page theme preferences.
• Links and content you publish on your public page.
• Lead/contact form submissions you receive from visitors (name, email, phone, message).
• Billing and subscription details when you purchase a paid plan (processed by our payment provider).
• Support messages you send to us via email or the contact form.

When you visit TheLinkTree, we may automatically collect:

• IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and approximate location derived from IP.
• Pages viewed, referring URLs, timestamps, and interaction events (for example, link clicks and page views on public profiles).
• Diagnostic and security logs used to maintain reliability and prevent abuse.

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, measure performance, and (where enabled) support advertising. For a full breakdown of cookie categories and controls, see our Cookie Policy.

We use analytics tools (which may include first-party analytics and Google Analytics or similar services) to understand how visitors use TheLinkTree, improve product performance, and diagnose issues. Analytics providers may set cookies or receive device/browser information subject to their own privacy policies.

We rely on trusted third parties to help operate TheLinkTree, which may include:

• Hosting, storage, and content delivery providers.
• Email delivery services for transactional and support messages.
• Payment processors for subscriptions.
• Analytics and advertising partners, including Google.

These providers process data only as needed to provide their services and are bound by contractual and legal obligations. Their use of data is also governed by their own policies.

We use Google AdSense and may work with other advertising partners to display advertisements on TheLinkTree. This section describes how advertising technologies work on our site and how you can control them.

Use of Google AdSense

Google AdSense is used to serve ads on pages where advertising is enabled. Google and its partners may collect and process data to deliver, measure, and improve ads in accordance with Google’s policies and your settings.

Cookies and the DoubleClick Cookie

Google may use cookies — including the DoubleClick Cookie and other advertising cookies — to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to TheLinkTree or other websites. These cookies help Google and partners deliver ads, limit how often you see an ad, and measure ad performance.

Third-party advertising vendors

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads and/or collect information on TheLinkTree and across the web. These vendors may combine information collected from our site with information from other sites.

Personalized and non-personalized ads

Depending on your region, consent choices, and Google settings, you may see personalized ads (based on interests and prior activity) or non-personalized ads (which may still use contextual information such as page content, approximate location, and general device type). We support consent mechanisms where required so you can choose whether personalized advertising is allowed.

Managing ad personalization

You can manage advertising preferences through:

• Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/
• Google’s ad personalization controls and About Ads resources: https://www.google.com/settings/ads
• Your browser’s cookie controls (blocking or deleting cookies may limit personalization and some site features).
• Any cookie consent banner or preference center we display on TheLinkTree.

Cookie consent

Where required by applicable law, we request consent before enabling non-essential cookies, including certain analytics and advertising cookies. You can withdraw or update consent at any time through our cookie controls (when available) or by adjusting your browser settings. Essential cookies needed for security and core functionality may still be used.

Compliance with Google Publisher Policies

We strive to operate TheLinkTree in compliance with Google Publisher Policies, Google AdSense program policies, and applicable privacy/advertising laws. This includes restrictions on prohibited content, invalid traffic, and misleading ad placements. If you believe ads on our site violate these policies, contact us at [email protected].

Advertising partners

Our advertising partners may include Google and other authorized networks or vendors that help serve, measure, or optimize ads. Partners may set their own cookies and collect data subject to their privacy policies. We do not control all third-party technologies used in advertising.

More information

For details on how Google uses data when you use partner sites or apps, see Google’s resources at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Also review our Cookie Policy for advertising cookie categories.

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Account data is generally retained while your account is active. You may request deletion of your account; some records may be retained for security, legal, or backup purposes for a limited period.

We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

TheLinkTree is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

TheLinkTree may be hosted and operated in countries other than your own. By using the service, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in jurisdictions that may have different data-protection laws than your country of residence. We take steps appropriate to the nature of the transfer and applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Continued use of TheLinkTree after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
