Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.
Transparency Note: To-Linka is built and maintained by a solo developer. We aim to be transparent about data practices while keeping things simple.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide and improve our service:

Automatically Collected Information
- Usage Data: How you interact with the platform (pages viewed, features used)

2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We don't sell your personal information. We only share data in these situations:
- Public Information: Your portfolio content is public by design (that's the point!)

Important: Remember that your portfolio is meant to be public. Information you add to your profile will be visible to anyone who visits your URL.
4. Data Storage & Security
Where We Store Data
Currently, all data is stored on secure servers. As a solo operation, we use trusted hosting providers with good security practices.
Security Measures
- Passwords are hashed (not stored in plain text)
- Regular security updates
- HTTPS encryption for all data transmission
Realistic Note: While we take security seriously, no online service is 100% secure. Use strong passwords and don't share sensitive information on your public portfolio.

7. Third-Party Services
We use a few essential third-party services:
