Privacy Policy

1. Privacy Commitment

Uplinka prioritizes user privacy through minimal data collection and transparent practices. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to information handling, storage, and protection. We believe in collecting only essential data necessary for platform functionality.

2. Information Collection

Uplinka collects minimal information:

• Age Verification: We store age confirmation locally in your browser via localStorage, indicating you've verified being 18 or older.
• Technical Data: Basic technical information such as browser type, device category, and timestamps may be collected automatically to ensure platform functionality.
• Usage Analytics: Anonymous, aggregated data about platform usage may be collected to optimize performance and improve user experience.

3. Information Usage

We use collected information exclusively for:

• Verifying age compliance with our 18+ requirement
• Ensuring platform functionality across devices and browsers
• Optimizing performance and user experience
• Maintaining security and preventing abuse
• Complying with legal obligations when required

We do NOT use your information for advertising, marketing, or third-party sales.

4. Local Storage

Uplinka uses browser localStorage to save your age verification status locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear localStorage through your browser settings, though this will require re-verification upon your next visit.

5. No Tracking

We do not implement tracking mechanisms for behavioral profiling or targeted advertising. Your gaming activities are not monitored for marketing purposes. We respect your right to privacy and do not build user profiles for commercial exploitation.

6. Third-Party Links

Uplinka includes links to responsible gambling resources such as GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These are independent organizations with their own privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party privacy practices.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the limited data we process. However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. We encourage users to access our platform via secure networks and maintain updated browser software.

8. Children's Privacy

Uplinka is designed for adults 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. Our age verification system prevents underage access. If we discover minor access, we will immediately block further use and delete any associated data.

9. No User Accounts

Uplinka currently operates without user registration or accounts. This design choice minimizes data collection by eliminating the need for names, emails, passwords, or other personally identifiable information. You can access our platform anonymously.

10. Data Retention

Since our primary storage method is browser-based localStorage on your device, you control data retention. Clearing your browser's localStorage removes all Uplinka-related data. We do not retain personal information on our servers beyond what's necessary for basic platform operation.

11. User Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

• Right to know what data we collect
• Right to request data deletion
• Right to object to data processing
• Right to data portability

Given our minimal data collection approach, most rights are automatically satisfied. You maintain full control over locally stored data through browser settings.

12. International Access

Uplinka is accessible globally. Our minimal data collection approach simplifies international compliance. Since most data is stored locally on your device, cross-border data transfer concerns are minimized.

13. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted with a revised effective date. Significant changes will be communicated prominently. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of revised terms.

14. Contact

For privacy-related questions or concerns, please review our other legal documents or contact us through appropriate channels. We address privacy inquiries promptly and take all concerns seriously.

15. Consent

By using Uplinka, you consent to this Privacy Policy and our minimal data collection practices. If you disagree with any aspect, please discontinue platform use immediately.
