Welcome to LinkIt!
These Terms of Use (or “Terms”) govern your use of LinkIt, except where we expressly state that separate terms (and not these) apply, and provide information about the LinkIt Service (the “Service”), outlined below. When you create an LinkIt account or use LinkIt, you agree to these terms.
The LinkIt Service
We agree to provide you with the LinkIt Service. The Service includes all of the LinkIt products, features, applications, services, technologies, and software that we provide to advance LinkIt's mission: To bring you closer to the people and things you love. The Service is made up of the following aspects:
- Offering personalized opportunities to create, connect, communicate, discover and share. People are different. So we offer you different types of accounts and features to help you create, share, grow your presence, and communicate with people on and off LinkIt. We also want to strengthen your relationships through shared experiences that you actually care about. So we build systems that try to understand who and what you and others care about, and use that information to help you create, find, join and share in experiences that matter to you. Part of that is highlighting content, features, offers and accounts that you might be interested in, and offering ways for you to experience LinkIt, based on things that you and others do on and off LinkIt.
- **Fostering a positive, inclusive, and safe environment.**We develop and use tools and offer resources to our community members that help to make their experiences positive and inclusive, including when we think they might need help. We also have teams and systems that work to combat abuse and violations of our Terms and policies, as well as harmful and deceptive behavior. We use all the information we have-including your information-to try to keep our platform secure. We also may share information about misuse or harmful content with other Meta Companies or law enforcement. Learn more in the Privacy Policy.
- **Developing and using technologies that help us consistently serve our growing community.**Organizing and analyzing information for our growing community is central to our Service. A big part of our Service is creating and using cutting-edge technologies that help us personalize, protect, and improve our Service on an incredibly large scale for a broad global community. Technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning give us the power to apply complex processes across our Service. Automated technologies also help us ensure the functionality and integrity of our Service.
- Providing consistent and seamless experiences across other Meta Company Products. LinkIt is part of the Meta Companies, which share technology, systems, insights, and information-including the information we have about you (learn more in the Privacy Policy) in order to provide services that are better, safer, and more secure. We also provide ways to interact across the Meta Company Products that you use, and designed systems to achieve a seamless and consistent experience across the Meta Company Products depending on your choices.
- Ensuring access to our Service. To operate our global Service, we must store and transfer data across our systems around the world, including outside of your country of residence. The use of this global infrastructure is necessary and essential to provide our Service. This infrastructure may be owned or operated by Meta Platforms, Inc., Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, or their affiliates.
- **Connecting you with brands, products, and services in ways you care about.**We use data from LinkIt and other Meta Company Products, as well as from third-party partners, to show you ads, offers, and other sponsored content that we believe will be meaningful to you. And we try to make that content as relevant as all your other experiences on LinkIt.
- **Research and innovation.**We use the information we have to study our Service and collaborate with others on research to make our Service better and contribute to the well-being of our community.
How Our Service Is Funded
Instead of paying to use LinkIt, by using the Service covered by these Terms, you acknowledge that we can show you ads that businesses and organizations pay us to promote on and off the Meta Company Products. We use your personal data, such as information about your activity and interests, to show you ads that are more relevant to you.
We show you relevant and useful ads without telling advertisers who you are. We don’t sell your personal data. We allow advertisers to tell us things like their business goal and the kind of audience they want to see their ads. We then show their ad to people who might be interested.
We also provide advertisers with reports about the performance of their ads to help them understand how people are interacting with their content on and off LinkIt. For example, we provide general demographic and interest information to advertisers to help them better understand their audience. We don’t share information that directly identifies you (information such as your name or email address that by itself can be used to contact you or identifies who you are) unless you give us specific permission. Learn more about how LinkIt ads work here.
You may see branded content on LinkIt posted by account holders who promote products or services based on a commercial relationship with the business partner mentioned in their content. You can learn more about this here.
The Privacy Policy
Providing our Service requires collecting and using your information. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, and use information within the Service. You must agree to the Privacy Policy to use LinkIt.
