Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 10, 2026

LydLynk ("LydLynk", "we", "us", or "our") provides investor outreach and fundraising support services for startups and growth companies. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to lydlynk.com, related subdomains, and our application (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information we collect

  • Account information — name, email address, company, role, and authentication identifiers when you sign up or log in.
  • Onboarding & campaign materials — pitch deck, one-pager, company description, fundraising stage, target investor criteria, and outreach copy you submit.
  • Connected account data — tokens and identifiers required to send outreach on your behalf via your connected Google (Gmail) and LinkedIn accounts.
  • Outreach activity — messages sent, replies, status, timestamps, and recipient metadata used to manage your campaigns.
  • Technical data — IP address, device, browser, and usage logs collected automatically for security and reliability.

2. Google API Services & Limited Use

When you connect your Google account, LydLynk requests a single Gmail scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send ("Send email on your behalf"). We use this scope solely to send investor outreach messages and follow-ups that you have composed and explicitly authorized from within the LydLynk dashboard, sent from your own connected Gmail address.

In addition, we request the standard sign-in scopes openid, userinfo.email, and userinfo.profile to identify the connected Google account and display your name and email in the app.

We do not read, list, download, modify, label, archive, or delete any messages, drafts, threads, attachments, or other content in your Gmail mailbox. We do not access your inbox or sent folder. The gmail.send scope is the minimum scope required to send mail from your address on your behalf, and it is the only Gmail scope we request.

LydLynk's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Specifically, we:

  • Only use Google user data to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent in LydLynk's interface.
  • Do not transfer Google user data to third parties except as necessary to provide or improve these features, to comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with notice to users.
  • Do not use Google user data for serving advertisements, including retargeted, personalized, or interest-based advertising.
  • Do not allow humans to read Google user data unless we have your affirmative agreement for specific messages, it is necessary for security purposes (such as investigating abuse), to comply with applicable law, or the data is aggregated and used for internal operations in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

3. How we use information

  • To provide, operate, and maintain the Service.
  • To send investor outreach and follow-up messages on your behalf.
  • To personalize messaging and target relevant investors.
  • To communicate with you about your account, billing, and support.
  • To secure the Service, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.

4. Sharing of information

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with:

  • Service providers processing data on our behalf (hosting, database, email infrastructure, analytics, payment processing) under appropriate contractual safeguards.
  • Recipients of your outreach — messages you author and authorize are delivered through your connected accounts.
  • Legal & safety — when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, property, or safety.

5. Data retention

We retain account information and campaign data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Google tokens are retained while your account is connected and revoked upon disconnection or account deletion. You may request deletion at any time (see Section 8).

6. Security

We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Access tokens are stored encrypted at rest and transmitted over TLS. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

7. International transfers

We may process data in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate transfer mechanisms.

8. Your rights & choices

  • Disconnect Google access at any time from your dashboard, or revoke access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
  • Access, correct, or delete your personal information by emailing us at the address below.
  • Cancel your subscription at any time prior to the next billing cycle.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 16.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the Service or by email.
