Privacy Policy

Last updated September 8, 2026. We process your data transparently and securely. This policy describes what data we collect, why we process it, and how we protect your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Data Controller

LinkMe Oy acts as the Data Controller. We take care of your personal data responsibly.

  • Company: LinkMe Oy
  • Business ID: [Insert Business ID]
  • Address: [Insert Address]
  • Website: https://linkme.fi/en/
  • Privacy Contact: info@linkme.fi

2. Collected Personal Data

We only collect absolutely necessary information. We do not hoard useless data or ask for sensitive personal information. The following data is processed through our service:

  • Contact Information: Name, email address, company name, and any information you voluntarily write in the message field via our contact form.
  • Technical Log Data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, and the timestamp of the page request. This data is automatically generated in server logs to ensure the technical integrity of the service.

3. Purposes and Legal Basis of Processing

Every processing activity has a clear legal basis. We process data for the following purposes:

  • Answering Inquiries and Quoting: We respond to inquiries and draft proposals based on your requests. The legal basis is taking steps prior to entering into a contract at your request (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) or our legitimate interest in serving our customers (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
  • Service Delivery: We produce the link building services you ordered and manage the customer relationship. The legal basis is the performance of a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
  • Invoicing and Accounting: We invoice orders and fulfill our legal obligations. The legal basis is a legal obligation under the Finnish Accounting Act (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)).
  • Security and Site Functionality: We prevent abuse and guarantee the reliable operation of our website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in securing our information systems (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

4. Data Retention Period

We do not store data forever. We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose of processing or as mandated by law.

  • Contact Form Messages: We retain contact details for 12 months after handling the message, unless the communication leads to a customer relationship.
  • Invoicing and Accounting Materials: We retain accounting vouchers for 6 years from the end of the calendar year in which the financial period ended, as required by the Finnish Accounting Act (1336/1997).
  • Server Logs: We retain technical log data for a maximum of 90 days, after which it is automatically deleted.

5. Data Disclosure and Transfers

We do not sell your data to advertisers. We never trade your data. However, we may share information with selected service providers that enable the operation of our website and services.

  • Technical Service Providers: We use reliable partners for website hosting, server solutions, and message delivery (e.g., Web3Forms for message forwarding). These partners act as data processors and are committed to adhering to a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and GDPR requirements.
  • Authorities: We disclose information to authorities only when explicitly required by law or a regulatory order.

Your data remains primarily within the EU and EEA. If any technical service (such as Web3Forms) transfers data outside the EU or EEA, we ensure safeguards through the European Commission's approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) or an adequacy decision (such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).

6. Cookies and Local Storage

We keep browsing clean. Our site does not use third-party advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or visitor profiling analytics.

We only use essential browser local storage (such as the cookie banner consent acknowledgment). This technical data does not track your movement across other websites and does not require separate consent under the Act on Electronic Communications Services.

7. Data Subject Rights

You are the master of your own data. Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:

  • Right of Access: You can review the personal data stored about you and request a copy of it.
  • Right to Rectification: We will promptly correct inaccurate or outdated information upon your request.
  • Right to Erasure: We will delete your data upon request, unless a legal obligation (such as the Accounting Act) requires its retention.
  • Restriction and Objection: In certain situations, you can demand the temporary freezing of processing or object to processing based on our legitimate interest.
  • Right to Data Portability: You can request the data you provided to us in a structured, machine-readable format to be transferred to another service provider.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you believe our processing violates data protection legislation, you have the right to file a complaint with the supervisory authority, the Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi), or your local supervisory authority within the EU/EEA.

All requests related to exercising your rights are free of charge. Contact us at info@linkme.fi, and we will respond to you within 30 days.

8. Data Security

We protect your data carefully. All network traffic between your browser and our site is secured with modern TLS/HTTPS encryption. Access to data is strictly limited only to those persons whose job duties absolutely require it. Our systems are protected with strong authentication methods.

9. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We continuously develop our service. We may update this policy as legislation changes or we introduce new features. We will announce significant changes directly on our website.
