Your public profile and links are visible to all publink.bio visitors as part of your bio page.

Data security

We implement technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no security system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

• Hosting: Vercel
• Database: PocketBase (self-hosted)

You have the right to:

Children and minors

publink.bio is not intended for children under 13 years old. In the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, publink.bio is not intended for users under 16 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a minor below the applicable age threshold in their jurisdiction, we will delete that information promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has created an account should contact us immediately at [email protected].

International data transfers

Your information may be transferred, stored, and processed in countries other than your country of residence, which may have different privacy protections. Where applicable, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses and other safeguards recognized under applicable data protection law to lawfully transfer your information internationally. By using publink.bio, you consent to such transfers subject to these protections.

Security incident notification

If we discover a security breach that compromises your personal information, we will notify all affected users without undue delay and provide details about the breach, the information affected, and the steps we are taking to address it. Notification will be sent to your registered email address unless legal authorities advise otherwise. We will cooperate fully with law enforcement and regulatory authorities in connection with security incidents.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers and devices include Do Not Track features. We acknowledge Do Not Track signals and respect user privacy preferences. However, universal standards for Do Not Track have not yet been established. publink.bio currently treats Do Not Track signals as a signal of user preference, and we encourage users to manage their privacy settings through browser controls and our privacy options.

Automated decision-making

publink.bio does not currently engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individual users. All decisions regarding account suspension, content removal, or service access are made by publink.bio staff after human review.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes become effective when posted to publink.bio. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
