1. Introduction

Link'd ("we," "our," or "us") operates the linkd.club website and platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service.

Link'd is a scheduling and calendar coordination platform designed for higher education institutions. We are committed to protecting the privacy of students, faculty, and staff who use our platform.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you sign up for Link'd, we collect information provided by your authentication provider, including your name, email address, and profile picture. We support sign-in through Google and Microsoft accounts.

Calendar Data

With your explicit permission, we access your calendar data (event titles, times, and free/busy status) from Google Calendar and/or Microsoft Outlook to provide scheduling functionality. We use this data solely to display your availability and facilitate meeting coordination. We do not read, store, or analyze the content of your calendar events beyond what is necessary to determine your availability.

Usage Data

We may collect information about how you interact with our platform, such as pages visited and features used, to improve our service.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Link'd platform
• Display your availability for scheduling purposes
• Facilitate meeting booking between users
• Send transactional emails related to your bookings and account
• Improve and develop new features for our platform
• Communicate with you about service updates

4. Calendar Data & OAuth Scopes

Link'd requests the following permissions when you connect your calendar:

Google Calendar

• View your calendar events (to determine availability)
• View your email address (for account identification)
• View your basic profile information (name and profile picture)

Microsoft Outlook

We only access calendar data when actively needed for scheduling. We do not sell, share, or use your calendar data for advertising or any purpose unrelated to the Link'd scheduling service.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely using MongoDB Atlas with encryption at rest and in transit. Authentication tokens are stored securely and are only used to access your calendar data on your behalf. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information.

• If required by law or to protect our legal rights

7. Your Rights & Choices

You can:

• Disconnect your calendar at any time through your account settings
• Request deletion of your account and associated data

When you disconnect your calendar or delete your account, we remove your stored calendar tokens and associated data.

8. FERPA Compliance

As a platform serving higher education institutions, we are committed to compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). We treat student scheduling data as educational records and maintain appropriate safeguards.
