Access to personal information is limited to authorized personnel who require such access to perform their responsibilities.

You may request deletion of your Linkpedia account at any time by contacting us at support@linkpedia.io. Upon receiving a valid request, we will review and process it in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Certain information may continue to be retained where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, detect fraudulent activity, protect platform security, enforce our legal rights, or meet regulatory requirements. Deleting your account may permanently remove access to your profile, marketplace history, saved preferences, and other information that is not legally required to be retained.
While we employ appropriate security measures to protect personal information, no platform can completely eliminate the risk of security incidents. If Linkpedia becomes aware of a data breach involving personal information, we will promptly investigate the incident and take appropriate measures to contain, assess, and mitigate its impact.
Where required by applicable law, we will notify affected users and relevant regulatory authorities within the legally prescribed timeframes.
