1. Who we are

ProLinks.me ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at https://www.prolinks.me and the services available through it (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

• Profile content: anything you publish on your profile — bio, experience, skills, links, portfolio sections.
• Usage data: anonymous profile views, link clicks, QR scans, and referrer information aggregated for analytics.
• Communications: messages you send via our contact form, recruiter requests, or interview requests.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, used only for security, abuse prevention, and basic analytics.

3. How we use your information

• To provide and operate the Service.
• To show your public profile to people you've chosen to share it with.
• To give you analytics about how your profile is performing.

• We don't share your email or contact info with recruiters unless you explicitly opt in.

5. Visibility and your choices

You decide who sees your profile. You can set it to public, unlisted, or private at any time. You can also choose whether search engines may index your profile. Use the privacy settings in your account to control these preferences.

6. Data retention

We keep your account data while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from your settings; we remove your profile and personal data within 30 days, except where we're required to retain certain records for legal or security reasons.

7. Cookies and analytics

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and lightweight first-party analytics to understand aggregate usage. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

8. International transfers

Our infrastructure runs on global cloud providers. Your data may be processed in countries outside your own. We use providers that offer appropriate safeguards.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Contact us via the contact page to exercise these rights.
