Privacy Policy

What we collect, why, where we keep it, and how to make us forget it. The TL;DR: we collect what the product needs to work and nothing else, and you can delete anything at any time.

§1Controller & contact

xlinked is the controller for lender account data, billing identity, and support correspondence. For LinkedIn profile data routed through your node, we act as a processor on behalf of buyer workspaces — see the DPA. DPO: dpo@xlinked.app. Privacy requests: privacy@xlinked.app.

§2What we collect

  • Account & identity — email, name, country, Clerk session metadata, Wise payout handle after you connect payouts.
  • Node operation — rotated LinkedIn session material (encrypted), scope preset, pace settings, audit log of reads (URL hash, timestamp, response code — never message bodies).
  • Telemetry — request logs, error reports, aggregate uptime. No ad pixels. No cross-site tracking.
