Among the types of Personal Data that this Application collects, by itself or through third parties, there are:
Complete details on each type of Personal Data collected are provided in the dedicated sections of this privacy policy or by specific explanation texts displayed prior to the Data collection.
Personal Data may be freely provided by the User, or, in case of Usage Data, collected automatically when using this Application.
Unless specified otherwise, all Data requested by this Application is mandatory and failure to provide this Data may make it impossible for this Application to provide its services. In cases where this Application specifically states that some Data is not mandatory, Users are free not to communicate this Data without consequences to the availability or the functioning of the Service.
Users who are uncertain about which Personal Data is mandatory are welcome to contact the Owner.
Any use of Cookies – or of other tracking tools — by this Application or by the owners of third-party services used by this Application serves the purpose of providing the Service required by the User, in addition to any other purposes described in the present document and in the Cookie Policy.
Users are responsible for any third-party Personal Data obtained, published or shared through this Application.
The Owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of the Data.
The Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated. In addition to the Owner, in some cases, the Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of this Application (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as Data Processors by the Owner. The updated list of these parties may be requested from the Owner at any time.
The Data is processed at the Owner's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located.
Depending on the User's location, data transfers may involve transferring the User's Data to a country other than their own. To find out more about the place of processing of such transferred Data, Users can check the section containing details about the processing of Personal Data.
Unless specified otherwise in this document, Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for and may be retained for longer due to applicable legal obligation or based on the Users’ consent.
The Data concerning the User is collected to allow the Owner to provide its Service, comply with its legal obligations, respond to enforcement requests, protect its rights and interests (or those of its Users or third parties), detect any malicious or fraudulent activity, as well as the following:
Key components of this Application are built and run directly by the Owner by making use of the software listed below.
■ URL Data Handling
【Stage 1: Without an Account】
Before creating a Lincoo account, all stickies, notes, and other Content
exist only in your browser's local storage. No URL, no Content, no data
of any kind is sent to Lincoo servers.
【Stage 2: After Account Creation】
Once signed in, Content is synchronized to Lincoo servers. By default,
Content is associated with the URL of the page you were viewing when you
created it, so it can be redisplayed on the same page later — this is
the core feature of Lincoo.
【User control over URL association】
For every piece of Content, the User can explicitly choose to disable
URL binding using the "free-form" / "all pages" option. When URL binding
is disabled, no URL is sent to or stored on our servers for that Content.
【What is NOT stored】
- URLs of pages the User merely visits without creating Content
- URLs from any time before the User signs in
- Browsing history of any kind
- Page content (DOM, text, images)
- Form input or other website-specific data
【Technical detail】
For Content with URL binding enabled, we also store derived values
(lowercase domain, SHA-256 hash of the URL path) to enable fast
page-matching. These are used solely to match Content to pages and
never for tracking, analytics, or any other purpose.
Unless otherwise specified, this Application processes any payments by credit card, bank transfer or other means via external payment service providers. In general and unless where otherwise stated, Users are requested to provide their payment details and personal information directly to such payment service providers. This Application isn't involved in the collection and processing of such information: instead, it will only receive a notification by the relevant payment service provider as to whether payment has been successfully completed.
Stripe is a payment service provided by Stripe, Inc.
This type of service has the purpose of hosting Data and files that enable this Application to run and be distributed or to provide a ready-made infrastructure to run specific features or parts of this Application.
Some services among those listed below, if any, may work through geographically distributed servers, making it difficult to determine the actual location where the Personal Data are stored.
DigitalOcean is a hosting service provided by DigitalOcean Inc.
We collect your email address and display name for account registration, and store user-generated content (such as sticky notes and memos) that you create within the app. This data is saved on our server to provide the service. Access to the contents of this user-generated content is limited as described in the "Administrator Access to Space Content" section. We also collect technical data such as IP addresses and device information (e.g., browser type, operating system). This data is used for access control and security (including blocking unauthorized access), geographic region detection, and logging for troubleshooting and proper operation of the service. We may display advertising within the app. Advertisements are selected and served by us; we do not share user data with third-party advertising networks. We use your country (determined from your IP address) and language settings to show relevant ads.
Payments and paid-plan subscriptions are processed by Stripe. Card details (card number, expiry date, security code) are entered directly into Stripe's hosted checkout and are held by Stripe — they never pass through or get stored on Lincoo's servers. Lincoo does not collect or store your first name, last name, or credit card details.
In connection with billing, Lincoo stores on its own servers: Stripe identifiers (customer, subscription and invoice IDs), subscription details (plan, seats, status, billing period, discounts), billing-event history (amount, currency, date and Stripe reference), and the billing profile you provide for a paid plan (company name, country, tax/VAT number). The billing address you enter at checkout is collected and stored by Stripe, not on Lincoo's servers.
By registering or authenticating, Users allow this Application to identify them and give them access to dedicated services.
Depending on what is described below, third parties may provide registration and authentication services. In this case, this Application will be able to access some Data, stored by these third-party services, for registration or identification purposes.
Some of the services listed below may also collect Personal Data for targeting and profiling purposes; to find out more, please refer to the description of each service.
Google OAuth is a registration and authentication service provided by Google Ireland Limited and is connected to the Google network.
In addition to any opt-out feature provided by any of the services listed in this document, Users may learn more on how to generally opt out of interest-based advertising within the dedicated section of the Cookie Policy.
Within a space, space administrators (users with admin or manager roles within that space) can delete any item stored in that space, but cannot view the contents of those items — including the body text, title, and any associated URL. Space administrators are provided only with the minimal metadata necessary for management (such as the item's ID, owner, visibility setting, group, and last-updated time).
This restriction is enforced at the server level: the contents of items are not transmitted to space administrators, so they cannot be accessed by any technical means. Space administrators also cannot search item contents or infer the existence of items by keyword.
Access to the contents of an item is limited to the users the creator designated as its audience when saving it — the creator, the users or groups the item is addressed to, or everyone, depending on the chosen visibility. This applies between regular users as well: users cannot view, search, or otherwise access private items created by others that are not addressed to them.
As the service provider, Lincoo accesses the contents of user items only where necessary to provide or maintain the service, comply with a legal obligation, or prevent fraud or abuse. We do not access user content for any other purpose. Unlike space administrators, Lincoo operates the servers and therefore has technical access to stored data, but limits its own access as described above.
Exception: We may disclose content only where required to comply with a valid legal obligation, such as a court order or a lawful request from law enforcement, and only to the extent necessary to meet that obligation.
The Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:
Unless specified otherwise in this document, Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for and may be retained for longer due to applicable legal obligation or based on the Users’ consent.
Therefore:
The Owner may be allowed to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever the User has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, the Owner may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to fulfil a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.
Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right of access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.
Users may exercise certain rights regarding their Data processed by the Owner.
In particular, Users have the right to do the following, to the extent permitted by law:
Users are also entitled to learn about the legal basis for Data transfers abroad including to any international organization governed by public international law or set up by two or more countries, such as the UN, and about the security measures taken by the Owner to safeguard their Data.
Where Personal Data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in the Owner or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner, Users may object to such processing by providing a ground related to their particular situation to justify the objection.
Users must know that, however, should their Personal Data be processed for direct marketing purposes, they can object to that processing at any time, free of charge and without providing any justification. Where the User objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the Personal Data will no longer be processed for such purposes. To learn whether the Owner is processing Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, Users may refer to the relevant sections of this document.
Any requests to exercise User rights can be directed to the Owner through the contact details provided in this document. Such requests are free of charge and will be answered by the Owner as early as possible and always within one month, providing Users with the information required by law. Any rectification or erasure of Personal Data or restriction of processing will be communicated by the Owner to each recipient, if any, to whom the Personal Data has been disclosed unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. At the Users’ request, the Owner will inform them about those recipients.
The User's Personal Data may be used for legal purposes by the Owner in Court or in the stages leading to possible legal action arising from improper use of this Application or the related Services.
The User declares to be aware that the Owner may be required to reveal personal data upon request of public authorities.
In addition to the information contained in this privacy policy, this Application may provide the User with additional and contextual information concerning particular Services or the collection and processing of Personal Data upon request.
For operation and maintenance purposes, this Application and any third-party services may collect files that record interaction with this Application (System logs) or use other Personal Data (such as the IP Address) for this purpose.
More details concerning the collection or processing of Personal Data may be requested from the Owner at any time. Please see the contact information at the beginning of this document.
The Owner reserves the right to make changes to this privacy policy at any time by notifying its Users on this page and possibly within this Application and/or - as far as technically and legally feasible - sending a notice to Users via any contact information available to the Owner. It is strongly recommended to check this page often, referring to the date of the last modification listed at the bottom.
Should the changes affect processing activities performed on the basis of the User’s consent, the Owner shall collect new consent from the User, where required.
Any information that directly, indirectly, or in connection with other information — including a personal identification number — allows for the identification or identifiability of a natural person.
