Privacy Policy
This online privacy policy (the "Policy") of Lynk, and all its affiliates (Lynk, "us," "our," or "we"), shows our commitment to respecting the privacy of our customers and visitors to the Lynk series of websites (the "Sites"). Since we may gather certain types of information about visitors to the Sites, we want you to understand what kind of information we gather and how it might be used. By using any of the Sites, you signify your acceptance of the Policy.
Information that may be collected on the Sites
Lynk may collect and analyze information about how visitors use the Sites. When you visit any of the Sites, we may collect certain types of technical data. This data may include Google Analytics data, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser information, the website you visit before arriving at any of the Sites, or the website you go to when leaving any of the Sites, among other data. We may also keep a record of which pages of which Site you visit, and how much time you spend on each page. This information does not identify you personally.
We may also use "cookies" and other similar technologies on the Sites. Cookies are small pieces of information written to your computer hard drive by our web server. Lynk employs cookies to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when the pages on the Sites are visited and by how many people. Cookies also allow our systems to recognize a return visitor as a unique user. Many Internet browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. You may change your browser settings to either reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is about to be placed on your computer. However, rejecting cookies while using the Sites may result in certain parts of the Sites not operating correctly or efficiently as if they were allowed.
Lynk may use other apps in conjunction with cookies to compile information about your usage of the Sites and/or interaction with emails from Lynk. For example, we may place Web-type tags in marketing emails that notify us when you click on a link in the email directing you to the Sites. Lynk also uses basic web tools to operate and make improvements to the Sites. We also use email communications to send more customized or relevant emails, advertisements, and offers to our customers and visitors to the Sites.
Lynk may use third-party service providers to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet. These service providers may collect your IP address and non-personally identifiable or disidentified information about your visits to the Sites to serve Lynk advertisements, while you are visiting other sites. Such non-personally identifiable information is anonymous or disidentified and does not reflect your name, address, e-mail address, or other personal information; however, your IP address may be collected by such service providers. This anonymous or disidentified information is often collected through the use of a pixel tag, which is industry-standard technology used by most major websites. You can find more information about tracking and opting out at http://www.youradchoices.com.
Lynk may engage certain third parties to provide certain features on the Sites. Such third parties may use cookies and other similar technologies to collect and store information. In addition, Lynk may engage third parties to track and analyze usage and volume statistics from visitors to the Sites. Such third parties use cookies and other similar technologies to analyze and evaluate the use of the Sites from visitors, compile statistical reports on activity, obtain data about where visitors are clicking on the Sites, and provide other services related to the Sites and Internet use. Such third parties may also collect information about the use of other websites. The information provided to third parties does not include personal information, but this information may be re-associated with personal information after Lynk receives it.
To opt-out of many companies that serve third-party cookies, you may visit the opt-out page sponsored by the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), a cooperative group of online ad-serving providers, at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices, or the similar opt-out page of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), at http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
The Sites may provide you with opportunities to post comments and identifying information. When you post, this information may appear in public ways, such as through search engines or other publicly available platforms and may be "crawled" or searched by third parties. Please do not post any information that you are not comfortable revealing to the public at large.
All information collected as part of SMS opt in will not be sold/rented/shared.

You hereby authorize Lynk to use and disclose and permit access by its affiliates and partners to your CPNI to enhance our ability to offer products and services tailored to fit your needs. Although your authorization to Lynk to use, disclose and permit access to CPNI will remain in effect until you affirmatively revoke such authorization, you may withdraw your authorization at any time by notifying Lynk in writing. Denial of authorization to use, disclose and permit access to your CPNI will not affect our provision of the services to you.
