Linky AI / Privacy Policy

Linky AI Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 August 2026

This page explains, in plain language, what Linky AI does with the information you share while chatting with your AI companion — what we keep, how long we keep it, who else ever sees it, and how to make it disappear.

1. Who we are

Linky AI is an adults-only AI companion and chat service operated at linke-ai.org. This policy explains what Linky AI collects, why it collects it, and what you can do about it.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy covers the Linky AI website, the Linky AI chat interface and any related pages we operate. It does not cover third-party sites you reach through links.

3. Age requirement

Linky AI is available only to people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect information from minors, and any account identified as belonging to a minor is deleted.

4. Account information

When you register with Linky AI we store an email address, a hashed password or a third-party sign-in identifier, and the date the account was created.

5. Conversation content

Messages you exchange with a Linky AI companion are stored so the companion can remember context. They are linkyd to your account and are not published anywhere.

6. Companion settings

Names, appearance choices, personality sliders and mood presets you configure inside Linky AI are saved as part of your profile.

7. Payment data

Card numbers never touch Linky AI servers. Payments are handled by PCI-compliant processors; we retain only the plan, status, amount and last four digits for receipts.

8. Technical data

We log IP address, browser type, device category, language and referring page for security, fraud prevention and basic analytics.

9. Cookies

Linky AI uses essential cookies for sign-in and session state, plus optional analytics cookies. You can refuse optional cookies without losing access to chat.

10. Local storage

Some interface preferences, such as theme or last opened companion, are stored in your browser and never leave your device.

11. Why we process data

We process data to run the service, personalise companions, prevent abuse, handle billing, meet legal duties and improve Linky AI over time.

12. Legal bases

Depending on your location we rely on contract performance, legitimate interest, legal obligation or your consent, and we identify the basis on request.

13. Model training

Private conversations are not used to train public models. Any internal quality work uses aggregated, de-identified samples, and you can opt out entirely.

14. Service providers

We share limited data with hosting, payment, email and anti-fraud vendors who act on our instructions and are bound by confidentiality agreements.

15. No sale of personal data

Linky AI does not sell, rent or trade your personal information or chat history to advertisers, brokers or any other third party.

16. International transfers

Data may be processed in countries other than yours. Where required we use standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.

17. Security measures

We use TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest for message stores, access controls, audit logging and routine penetration testing.

18. Data breach handling

If a breach affects your information we notify affected users and the relevant authority within the timeframe the law requires.

19. Retention periods

Account and conversation data is kept while the account is active and for up to 90 days after deletion, except records we must keep longer for tax or legal reasons.

20. Deleting conversations

You can erase a single conversation, wipe a companion's memory or delete every chat from your Linky AI settings at any time.

21. Deleting your account

Account deletion is self-service. Once confirmed, profile data and chat history enter the purge queue and are removed from live systems.

22. Your access rights

You may request a copy of the personal data Linky AI holds about you in a portable, machine-readable format.

23. Correction and objection

You can correct inaccurate details, object to certain processing, or ask us to restrict processing while a dispute is resolved.

24. Withdrawing consent

Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting processing that already took place lawfully.

25. Marketing communications

Promotional email from Linky AI is opt-in and every message carries a one-click unsubscribe link. Service and billing notices are not marketing.

26. Automated decisions

Linky AI does not make legally significant automated decisions about you. Abuse detection flags are always reviewable by a person.

27. Third-party links

Pages we link to have their own policies. Linky AI is not responsible for how those operators handle your information.

28. Regional rights

Residents of the EEA, the UK, California, Brazil and other regions with privacy statutes hold additional rights described by their local law, which we honour.

29. Complaints

If you believe Linky AI has mishandled your data you may complain to your national data protection authority as well as to us.

30. Changes and contact

We update this policy when practices change and revise the date above. Questions go to privacy@linke-ai.org and receive a reply within 30 days.
