Whether you're a creator using lnks.to to launch your landing pages or a visitor engaging with content, we may require this information to create your account, verify your identity, and provide you with our services.
• Financial Information: For users engaging in transactions through lnks.to, such as selling products or services, we rely on secure, third-party payment processing services provided by Stripe. lnks.to does not directly collect or store your credit card numbers or bank account details. Instead, this sensitive financial information is handled by Stripe, which requires this information to process payments on your behalf. We ensure that Stripe, as our partner, adheres to the highest standards of payment security and privacy. For your peace of mind and to be fully informed about the handling of your financial information, we encourage you to visit Stripe’s website to review their terms and conditions and privacy policy. By using Stripe for payment processing, we aim to provide a secure and seamless transaction process for both our creators and their customers, while maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of your financial data.

The intention behind this collection is to enable creators to build and tailor products, services, and content that are more closely aligned with the interests and needs of their audience. Creators use this information to better understand their audience and to inform their marketing strategies, with the ultimate goal of promoting relevant offerings to their contacts. It is important for visitors and users interacting with creators' content on lnks.to to understand that this information is collected by the creators themselves and is subject to their own privacy policies and practices.
