Who We Are
Welcome to AuthLinq! Our website address is: http://authlinq.com.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
1. Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
2. Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
3. Contact Forms
We may collect personal information you provide to us when filling out a contact form. This information is used to respond to your inquiries and provide the services you request.
4. Cookies

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We may use third-party analytics tools to collect and analyze data about your use of our website. This information helps us improve our services and understand how visitors interact with our site.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your personal data with third parties, except as necessary to provide our services, comply with the law, or protect our rights.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
