Privacy ✅
Linkr has been designed following Privacy By Design guidelines and as such, requires only the absolute minimal user personal information to be used:
- The only personal information Linkr collects are a username and email address, and these can be deleted at the user’s request
- Linkr usernames can be pseudonyms
- Ownership of the content submitted by any user to Linkr remains the property of said user
- Each Linkr user controls the visibility of content they submit to all Classes across our platform (Privacy settings for Publications in Classes can range from “Private” to “public”)
Beyond Data minimization, Linkr also continuously makes significant efforts to ensure GDPR compliance:
- Linkr does not allow any advertising across the platform
- Linkr does not share data with any third parties
- Any content can be removed at user request by emailing Linkr
- Entire user accounts can be deleted at user request by emailing Linkr
- Educators have a complete overview of all their learners’ work and can quickly request learners remove or modify work or shift its privacy setting to “share only with Educator”

From a feature-specific standpoint:
- Each user owns their Publications, Profile, and all contributions they make on Linkr
- Each user also has complete control over the visibility of each Publication they contribute to linkr
- All linkrs, Groups and Classes have completely private areas for internal conversation and allow Administrators and Managers to share Resources and Course material with learners, members and participants.
- Classes as a whole can be as private as desired, depending on the manager's preferences and how they ask their learners to use linkr. Only the members confirmed by the Manager can see and interact with the members and content of the Class.
- Groups can be as private as desired, depending on the Administrator’s preferences and Group type. For Private and Hidden Groups, only members confirmed by the Manager can see and interact with the members and content of the Group.
- Comments on Publications can be public or private
- Our Messaging feature is fully private and allows users to privately communicate in linkr. These exchanges are secret and that can only be read by the sender and the other person(s).
