Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2, 2026
This page is maintained by the team operating follow.me.in to explain what we collect when you use the Service, why we collect it, and the controls you have. It's written to be readable — if anything is unclear, ask us.
What we collect
- Account info. Your email, username, and (if you choose) display name, bio, avatar, and location.
- Profile content. The links, titles, and theme settings you add to your public profile.
- Usage analytics. When someone views your profile or clicks a link, we record a timestamp and the referrer so we can show you stats. We don't store IP addresses or precise device fingerprints for this.
- Authentication data. We store only what is needed to keep your account signed in.
- Subscription data. We store the payment provider, provider transaction or subscription ID, payment status, and subscription period. Card details are handled by Paddle and never reach our server.
How we use it
- To run your profile and make your links work.
- To show you analytics about views and clicks on your own profile.
- To keep the Service secure and fight abuse.
- To activate and maintain paid creator access.
- To send you essential account email (sign-in links, password resets, important changes).
We don't sell your account or creator data.
What's public
Your username, display name, bio, avatar, location (if set), and the active links on your profile are public — that's the whole point of a link-in-bio page. Your email, analytics, and account settings stay private.
Cookies & local storage
We use cookies and browser storage to keep you signed in and remember dashboard preferences. Public pages may load Google AdSense, which may use cookies or similar technologies to measure and personalize advertising according to your consent and Google settings.
Who we share data with
We share data only with the providers needed to operate the deployment:
- The VPS or hosting provider, if the site is deployed outside a local machine.
- The domain, DNS, TLS, and security providers used to route traffic.
- Backup storage controlled by the site operator.
- Paddle for card checkout, tax calculation, receipts, and subscription billing.
- XMRGate for Monero checkout and crypto subscription status.
- Google AdSense when advertising is enabled on public pages.
We may also disclose information when legally required (e.g. a valid court order).
Your controls
- Edit anything. Update your profile, links, theme, or username from the dashboard.
- Hide a link. Toggle any link inactive without deleting it.
- Delete your account. Removing your account deletes your profile, links, and analytics.
- Export or correct your data. Email us and we'll help.
Retention
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete the account, we remove your profile and links promptly. Backups roll off within a reasonable period.
Children
follow.me.in isn't intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). If you believe a child has signed up, contact us and we'll remove the account.
Changes
We'll post material changes to this policy on this page and, when appropriate, notify you by email. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
