Data Storage and Security

We store user data securely using Supabase. All user information is encrypted both in transit (via TLS) and at rest (AES-256 encryption). We implement strict access controls and robust security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access.

Data Sharing

We never sell or rent your personal information. Your data may be shared with trusted third-party providers essential to our services (primarily Supabase for data storage) under strict confidentiality and security obligations.

We may also disclose information if legally required (court orders, government requests) or to protect our rights and user safety.

User Rights and Data Management

You have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data.
• Request rectification of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your account and personal data.

To exercise these rights, please contact us via email at support@linc-up.org using your registered email address.

International Data Transfers

User data may be transferred internationally and stored on servers located outside your country, primarily via Supabase cloud services. These transfers are safeguarded through standard contractual clauses ensuring adequate protection of personal data.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations. Upon deletion requests, data will be permanently removed or anonymized, subject to legal retention requirements.

Children's Privacy

LINC is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or store data from children under 13. If we become aware that such data has been collected, we will promptly delete it.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

This policy may be updated occasionally. Significant changes will be communicated clearly through email notifications or app alerts. Continued use of LINC following updates implies acceptance of the revised terms.
