The privacy choices you may have about your personal information are described below.
Deletion of Personal Information. LinkedTo provides an option for users to request deletion of all of their personal information stored by LinkedTo (including any information obtained via the Google APIs) at https://www.linkedto.ai/help.
Email Communications. If you receive an unwanted email from us, you can use the unsubscribe functionality found at the bottom of the email to opt out of receiving future emails. Note that you will continue to receive transaction-related emails. We may also send you certain non-promotional communications regarding us and the Services, and you will not be able to opt out of those communications (e.g., communications regarding the Services or updates to this Privacy Notice).
Text Messages. If you receive an unwanted text message from us, you may opt out of receiving future text messages from us by following the instructions in the text message you have received from us or by otherwise contacting us as set forth in “Contact Us” below.
Do Not Track signals and Global Privacy Control. Certain web browsers and other programs may transmit “do-not-track” “opt-out” signals, also called a Global Privacy Control (or “GPC”) signal (we refer to these as “GPC Signals”), to websites with which the browser communicates. In most cases you will need to change your web browser’s settings or add an application to your web browser to enable your browser to send a GPC Signal. Our websites will recognize GPC Signals for website users differently, based on the location of the user when they access our websites. For users that access our websites from U.S. states that have laws requiring recognition of GPC Signals, we will recognize and apply the GPC Signal to inactivate all of the cookies for that website, except for cookies that are necessary for the website to operate. Additionally, if you are accessing our websites from one of these states, you can determine if your browser GPC Signal has been recognized by clicking on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of the website and checking that appropriate cookies have been turned off. For users from states not currently requiring recognition of the GPC Signal, our website servers may recognize and apply the GPC Signal for only advertising and social media cookies, but will not apply the GPC Signal to functional or performance cookies. You can always check and adjust your cookie settings by going to the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of this website.
Some web browsers incorporate other "do-not-track" (“DNT”) or similar features that signals to websites with which the browser communicates that a visitor does not want to have their online activity tracked. As of the Effective Date, not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, we along with many other digital service operators do not respond to all DNT signals. We recognize GPC signals as required under certain state privacy laws, but we do not currently recognize other DNT signals. For more information about the Global Privacy Control, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.
Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. Pursuant to applicable law, you may have the right to limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information. To request a limitation to our use or disclosure limitation of sensitive personal information, please contact us using the information set forth in “Contact Us” below.
Cookies. You may stop or restrict the placement of Technologies on your device or remove them by adjusting your preferences as your browser or device permits. However, if you adjust your preferences, the Services may not work properly.
Please note that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on mobile applications. However, you may opt-out of certain tracking on some mobile applications by following the instructions for Android, iOS, and others.
The online advertising industry also provides mechanisms that may allow you to opt out of receiving targeted ads from organizations that participate in self-regulatory programs. To learn more, visit the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance.
Please note you must separately opt out in each browser and on each device.
6. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We store the personal information we collect as described in this Privacy Statement for as long as you use the Services, or as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected, provide the Services, resolve disputes, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce our agreements, and comply with applicable laws.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we may consider applicable legal requirements, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, certain risk factors, the purposes for which we process your personal information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
E.
7. SECURITY
We implement reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and administrative controls to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, and monitor such controls to help minimize risks from any security threats. We also ensure that any service provider, processor, or sub-processor processing your personal information on our behalf contractually commits to equivalent security measures to ensure the protection of your personal information during the entire lifecycle of the processing activities.

8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
LinkedTo is headquartered in the United States, and we have operations in the United States and other countries. All personal information processed by us may be transferred, processed, and stored anywhere in the world, including, but not limited to, the United States or other countries, which may have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live. These countries may or may not have adequate data protection laws as defined by the data protection authority in your country.
If we transfer personal information from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom to a country that does not provide an adequate level of protection under applicable data protection laws, one of the safeguards we may use to support such transfer is the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
