Your privacy matters. This policy explains what LinkDem collects, why we collect it, and the control you have over your information.
Welcome to LinkDem. We help people recover lost belongings through secure QR codes, and protecting the information involved is central to how we build the product.
This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have. By using LinkDem, you agree to the practices described here.
LinkDem is a lost-and-found recovery service. You generate a unique QR code, attach it to your belongings, and anyone who finds a lost item can scan it to alert you — without ever seeing your phone number or email.

When data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses where applicable.

LinkDem relies on trusted third parties to deliver parts of the service. Their handling of data is governed by their own privacy policies:
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you.
Continuing to use LinkDem after an update means you accept the revised policy.
