Who we are
AuthorityLinks.net (“we”, “us”) operates an online marketplace for backlinks, editorial guest posts and SEO services. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to our website and to the services you order through it.
What we collect
When you place an order or contact us we collect the details you give us: your name, email address, company name, billing country, the target URLs and keywords for your campaign, and any notes you add. If you pay by card, our payment provider collects your card details directly — we never store your full card number on our servers.
We also collect limited technical data automatically, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, to keep the site secure and to understand how it is used.
How we use your data
We use your data to deliver the services you order, to send order confirmations, status updates and delivery reports, to respond to your enquiries, to process payments and prevent fraud, and to meet our legal and accounting obligations.
With your consent, we may send occasional service updates or offers. You can opt out of marketing at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us.
Legal bases
Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on the following legal bases: performance of a contract (to deliver your order), legitimate interests (to run and secure our business), consent (for marketing), and legal obligation (for tax and accounting records).
Sharing your data
We share data only with the service providers who help us operate: payment processors, email and hosting providers, and analytics tools. These providers are bound to use your data only for the purpose we engaged them for. We do not sell your personal data, and we never contact your clients directly when you order through our white-label programme.
Data retention
We keep order and billing records for as long as we need them to provide the service and to meet legal requirements, typically up to seven years for financial records. Enquiry data is kept only as long as needed to handle your request.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, and to receive your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, email us and we will respond within the time required by law.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember your order as you browse, and measure aggregate usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some may affect how the site works.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated by email where appropriate.
