Linky AI: Chat, Play, Connect

"We may ask you at login if you provide us with the access to your Contacts on your device so that we can find friends for you within Linky community... we may automatically collect information about your language, gender, clicks and actions... device data (e.g., IMEI and other device identifiers), country/region, device model, screen resolution, geographic location, anonymous user identifier, etc."

Linky requests access to device contacts and collects extensive device-level data including IMEI and other device identifiers, screen resolution, and operating system information, much of which goes beyond core app functionality.

"To use Linky applications, you need choose to register and login within Linky through your account on a third-party platform. In such cases, we need collect your unique identifier Open ID, location, personal frequently used devices... we may automatically collect information about... geographic location... IP address... When you post any user-generated content... we may need to collect... location data."

Linky collects location data at multiple touchpoints — registration, content posting, friend discovery, and passively via IP address and geographic location — creating a broad location tracking profile.

"We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in response to the changing legal, technical or business developments. When we update our Privacy Policy, we will take appropriate measures to inform you, depending on the significance of the changes we make... If you continue to use any functions of Linky, you are deemed to have read and understood the updated version of the Privacy Policy."

Linky can update its privacy policy at any time and treats continued use as acceptance, with no requirement for explicit consent and only vague commitments to notification depending on 'significance' of changes.

"To provide you with a better user experience, we may share your Personal Data to our cooperation partners, such as sharing your behavioral data and profiling data to online advertising service providers. We may use Google Analytics and Appsflyer Analytics to collect information about application anonymous identifier, application Token, operating system, network information, and device Identifier to analyze the use of our services."

Linky shares behavioral data and user profiling data with advertising partners, and uses third-party analytics SDKs (Google Analytics, Appsflyer) that collect device identifiers and usage data directly.

"We will store your Personal Data to the extent as necessary for the proper business needs of our company (e.g., for the purposes of providing service to you and complying with the requirements of laws, tax and finance), except as provided otherwise by applicable laws or regulations. When there is no such need to use your Personal Data or the retention period expires according to applicable laws or regulations, we will delete or anonymize your Personal Data."

The policy provides no specific retention timeline, using vague language about 'proper business needs' which could justify indefinite retention of personal data.

"When you use our services, we and third parties may use tracking technologies to collect your Personal Data about your online activities for a variety of purposes, including serving you advertising and personalized content... we may automatically collect information about... device data (e.g., IMEI and other device identifiers)... anonymous user identifier, etc., and analyze such data."

Linky and its third-party partners use tracking technologies to collect online activity data and device identifiers like IMEI, enabling cross-service tracking for advertising and personalization purposes.

"If you would like to delete your account, you can contact us by email: [email protected]. Please note that after you submit a request to delete your account, you will no longer be able to use Linky, so please decide carefully."

There is no self-service account deletion option within the app. Users must email support to request deletion, creating friction and a barrier to exercising this right.
