Last updated: 21 August 2026 Effective date: 21 August 2026
LinkAgency (“LinkAgency”, “we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website https://linkagency.top (the “Site”) and provides SEO and link-building, web development and design, digital marketing, software development and related professional services (the “Services”).
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have. It applies to the Site, to our Services, and to any communication you have with us by email, contact form, WhatsApp, Telegram or LinkedIn.
Please read this Policy together with our Terms and Conditions.
1. Who we are (Data Controller)
For the purposes of the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the data controller is:
LinkAgency Website: https://linkagency.top Email: info@linkagency.top
If you have any question about this Policy or about how we handle your data, contact us at info@linkagency.top. We aim to respond to every privacy request within 30 days.
We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer, as we are not required to do so under Article 37 GDPR. Privacy enquiries are handled directly by our management team at the address above.
2. Personal data we collect
2.1 Information you give us
| What | Where it comes from | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Contact and enquiry data | Contact forms, “Get a free audit” / quote requests, the “Become a vendor” form | Name, email address, telephone number, WhatsApp or Telegram handle, the service category you select, the content of your message |
| Account data | Vendor / partner registration and login | Username, email address, password (stored in hashed form), profile details, service categories, feedback and reviews you submit |
| Client and project data | Onboarding, project delivery | Company name, billing contact, website domains and URLs, access credentials you choose to share with us (e.g. CMS, hosting or analytics access), project briefs and materials |
| Transaction data | Ordering and paying for Services | Invoice details, billing address, VAT/tax identifiers, records of purchases and payments. We do not collect or store full payment card numbers — card payments are processed by third-party payment providers |
| Communications data | Email, messengers, calls, meetings | Correspondence, call notes, support requests, complaints |
| Marketing data | Newsletter sign-up, blog subscriptions | Email address, subscription preferences, consent records |
| Content you post | Blog comments, testimonials, vendor feedback | Your name, email, comment text and any information you choose to include |
2.2 Information we collect automatically
When you visit the Site we automatically collect technical and usage data, including:
- IP address (which may be truncated/anonymised by our analytics tools)
- Browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution and language
- Referring URL and exit pages, pages viewed, time on page, clicks and scroll depth
- Date and time of access, and time zone setting
- Cookie and similar identifiers (see Section 7)
This data is collected via server logs, cookies and analytics tools. We use it in aggregate to understand traffic, secure the Site and improve the Services.
2.3 Information from third parties
We may receive personal data from:
- Analytics and advertising platforms (e.g. Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta) — aggregated audience and campaign statistics
- Payment providers — confirmation of payment status
- Publishers, webmasters and outreach partners in the course of delivering link-building and guest-post services
- Publicly available sources — company websites, LinkedIn and business directories, when we research prospective clients or partners
2.4 Sensitive data
We do not seek to collect special categories of personal data (data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data, health data, or data about sex life or sexual orientation). Please do not send us such information.
3. Why we use your data, and our legal bases
Under GDPR we must have a lawful basis for each processing activity. Ours are set out below.
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6) |
|---|---|
| Responding to your enquiry, preparing a quote or proposal | Steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Providing, delivering and supporting the Services | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Creating and administering a vendor or client account | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Invoicing, payment collection and bookkeeping | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Sending service-related messages (project updates, changes to terms) | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Sending marketing emails and newsletters | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), or legitimate interests for existing clients under the “soft opt-in”, where permitted |
| Analytics, measuring campaign performance, improving the Site | Consent for non-essential cookies (Art. 6(1)(a)); legitimate interests in improving our business (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Site security, fraud and abuse prevention, spam filtering | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)); legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Establishing, exercising or defending legal claims | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)); legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have carried out a balancing assessment and consider that our interests do not override your rights and freedoms. You may object to this processing at any time (see Section 8).
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time — this does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Is providing data mandatory? Providing contact data through our forms is voluntary, but without it we cannot answer your enquiry or provide the Services. Certain data (e.g. invoicing details) is required by law in order for us to issue valid accounting documents.
4. Automated decision-making
We do not make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you based solely on automated processing, and we do not carry out profiling of that kind.
5. Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only as described below:
- Service providers (processors) acting on our instructions, including:
- website hosting and CDN providers
- email delivery and marketing platforms
- analytics providers
- payment processors
- cloud storage, project management and CRM tools
- accounting and bookkeeping providers
- Subcontractors and freelancers engaged to deliver part of your project (developers, designers, copywriters, outreach specialists), bound by confidentiality obligations
- Publishers and website owners, where necessary to place content or links as part of a link-building or guest-post project — we share only the minimum information required
- Professional advisers — lawyers, auditors and insurers, where necessary
- Authorities and regulators, where we are required to do so by law, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims
- A buyer or successor in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets, in which case this Policy will continue to apply
All processors are engaged under written agreements meeting the requirements of Article 28 GDPR.
6. International data transfers
We operate internationally, and some of our providers and subcontractors are located outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA/UK, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place, normally one of the following:
- the recipient country benefits from an adequacy decision of the European Commission (and/or UK adequacy regulations); or
- the transfer is governed by the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (with the UK Addendum where relevant), supplemented where necessary by additional technical and organisational measures; or
- another lawful derogation under Article 49 GDPR applies.
You may request a copy of the safeguards we rely on by writing to info@linkagency.top.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them, and comparable technologies such as pixels, local storage and SDKs, for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function: session management, load balancing, vendor login and security. These cannot be switched off and do not require your consent.
- Preference cookies — remember your choices, such as language (the Site is available in English, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian) and cookie settings.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Site, which pages are popular and where visitors come from.
- Marketing and advertising cookies — used to measure the performance of campaigns and, where applicable, show relevant advertising on third-party platforms.
Analytics and marketing cookies are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner, where such consent is required by law. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the cookie settings link on the Site.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working.
“Do Not Track”: there is currently no uniform industry standard for responding to Do Not Track browser signals, so we do not respond to them. We do, however, honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out of the sale/sharing of personal information where required by California law.
8. Your rights under GDPR (EEA, UK and Switzerland)
If you are located in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, you have the right to:
- Access — obtain confirmation of whether we process your data and receive a copy of it.
- Rectification — have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
- Erasure (“right to be forgotten”) — have your data deleted where one of the grounds in Article 17 GDPR applies.
- Restriction — require us to limit processing in certain circumstances.
- Data portability — receive data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
- Object — object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests, and to direct marketing at any time, absolutely and free of charge.
- Withdraw consent — at any time, where processing is based on consent.
- Not be subject to solely automated decision-making producing legal or similarly significant effects.
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country of residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. (In the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office, ico.org.uk.) We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.
To exercise any right, email info@linkagency.top with the subject line “Data Protection Request”. We may ask for information to verify your identity. Requests are free of charge, unless manifestly unfounded or excessive.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the competent supervisory authority within 72 hours and, where the risk is high, inform you without undue delay.
