Privacy, in plain English

Last updated 13 November 2026

LNK-UP is a network made only of people you've actually met. It's run by DEPARTMNT in the UK. This page says what we keep, why, and how to get rid of it.

What we keep

• Your account: your email (only for sign-in codes and the emails you choose to get), your name on LNK-UP, your first name, your scenes and the area you pick.
• Your photo: the dot portrait made from it, and the photo itself if you choose to keep one. You choose who can see the real photo.
• Your people: who you name, who you've met, and when and how (a meet code, a card tap or a room). We never use your location. If you add where you met, only the two of you see it.
• What you post: messages, crews, plans, asks, recommendations, intros and blocks, so they can be shown to the people you chose.
• Your card: its number and the taps on it, so a tap can show your page and count a meet.
• Running the service: which phones get notifications, the emails we've sent you, page view counts, and any reports you make.

What we never do

• No live location and no tracking between meets.
• No ads, and we never sell or share your data.
• No search. Nobody can find you unless they've met you or you sent them your link.

Who helps us run it

• Supabase stores the data, in London.
• Vercel serves the website and app.
• Resend sends sign-in codes and emails.

Your controls

• Block or mute anyone, and choose which emails and notifications you get, in the app.
• Report someone from their page.
• Delete your account from Settings. Your account, your photo and everything linked to it are deleted straight away.
