WeLinkedUp Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This Privacy Policy explains how WeLinkedUp (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you create an account, upload content, and interact with other users on our website and mobile apps (together, the “Service”).

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account Information. When you register, we collect information such as your username, email address, and password.
  • Profile & Content. We collect the photos, GIFs, videos, captions, comments, likes, and other content you upload or create, including whether you mark content as public or private.
  • Interactions. We collect information about how you interact with others (follows, blocks, reports, and messages you send through the Service).
  • Usage & Device Data. We may collect log data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages you view to help operate and secure the Service.
  • Cookies & Similar Technologies. We may use cookies or similar tools to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how the Service is used.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
  • Allow you to upload, view, like, comment on, and report content.
  • Enforce your privacy choices for public and private posts.
  • Protect the safety and security of users and the platform.
  • Respond to support requests and user questions.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

3. When Your Content Is Public

When you choose to mark content as public, your photos, GIFs, videos, username, and related metadata (such as likes and comments) may be visible to anyone who visits the public gallery pages. Public content may be indexed, shared, or captured by others, and we cannot control how third parties use that information.

4. Sharing of Information

We may share information as follows:

  • With service providers that host media, provide analytics, or help us deliver the Service.
  • In response to legal requests if we believe we are required to do so by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of WeLinkedUp, our users, or others.
  • In connection with a business transfer if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Your Choices & Controls

  • Account settings. You can update your profile information and, in some cases, your profile picture from your account pages.
  • Public vs. private posts. You can toggle whether a post is public or private where that option is provided. Public posts may continue to exist in backups or logs for a limited time.
  • Block & report tools. You can block other users and report content that violates our rules. Blocking limits interactions between your account and another user.
  • Deleting content. When you delete a post, comment, or video, it is removed from normal view. Some copies may remain in backups or system logs for a limited period.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for limiting access to your devices.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for use by children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

8. International Users

If you access the Service from outside the country where our servers are located, your information may be transferred, stored, and processed across borders. By using the Service, you consent to these transfers in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we may provide additional notice through the Service or by other means.
