Privacy Policy

Who we are

LinkWord (Chinese brand: 链世界) provides directory, articles, tools, and related content. The site is published at linkwordx.site. Questions about this policy or your personal data may be sent using the contact email on our Contact page.

By using this website, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the site, we or our partners (such as hosting and analytics providers, and Google for ads) may process:

• Technical and usage data: for example IP address, device and browser type, operating system, language, referring URL, pages and features used, timestamps, and security-related logs.
• Cookies and similar technologies: identifiers stored on your device to remember preferences (such as theme or language), measure traffic, improve performance, and deliver and measure advertising.
• Information you send us: when you email us, we receive the message content and standard email metadata.
• Client-side tools: many utilities run only in your browser; your input is not necessarily uploaded to our servers, but loading pages and scripts still involves network requests as usual.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and third parties (including Google) may use cookies, mobile identifiers, pixels, and local storage as permitted by law to operate the site, save settings, understand aggregate usage, and show relevant ads.

Advertising-related cookies may be used to personalize ads based on your activity on this site or elsewhere, cap ad frequency, and measure ad delivery. Third-party vendors’ data practices are described in their own policies.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser. Restricting cookies may limit certain features (for example saved preferences).

Google advertising (AdSense) and partners

We use Google AdSense to show ads on linkwordx.site. Google and its partners may use cookies or other technologies to serve ads based on your past visits to our site and other sites.

Personalized ads may use data to select or tailor ads; non-personalized ads may still use technical data as described by Google. What you see depends on your settings, region, and applicable rules.

For more information about how Google uses data in connection with advertising and partner properties, see:

• Google Privacy & Terms
• Google – Advertising & Privacy
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services

Purposes of processing

We use information to provide and secure the website, improve features, analyze aggregated traffic, respond to communications, comply with law, and enforce our terms.

Advertising revenue helps fund site operation. Where required, we rely on consent, legitimate interests, or other lawful bases under applicable privacy laws for cookies and ads.

You may also adjust your browser or device privacy settings, use opt-out extensions where available, or choose a browser that blocks third-party cookies. Available controls vary by country and platform.

Children

Our services are not aimed at children under the age where parental consent is required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for behavioral advertising.

Retention, security, and international processing

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described or as required by law, and we apply reasonable safeguards against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

Information may be processed on servers worldwide, including where Google and other providers operate facilities. Such processing may involve transfers subject to appropriate safeguards under applicable law.
