Last Updated: January 2025
At MyLynx, safeguarding your privacy and securing your personal information is at the core of our mission. This Privacy Statement outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your information through our services, in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). By engaging with our platform, you entrust us with your information, and we pledge to protect it with the utmost integrity and transparency.
Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, participate in our community, or interact with our services. This may include but is not limited to your name, email address, Tezos wallet addresses, and any other information you choose to provide.
In addition, we automatically collect certain information when you use our services, including but not limited to your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and actions taken on our site.
How We Use Your Information
Your information allows us to provide and improve our services, including:
- Customizing your experience and enabling personalized features.
- Communicating with you about updates, services, and promotional offers, in alignment with your preferences.
- Ensuring the security and integrity of our platform.
- Complying with legal obligations and protecting the rights of our users and third parties.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with third parties in the following situations:
- With your consent or at your direction.
- With service providers who assist us in providing our services, under strict data protection terms.
- To comply with legal obligations, protect the rights and safety of our users and third parties, and enforce our terms and policies.
Analytics and Tracking
MyLynx uses analytics to improve our services and user experience. We employ a dual analytics approach:
Cloudflare Web Analytics (Cookieless)
Cloudflare Web Analytics provides privacy-first, cookieless performance monitoring. It collects anonymized data about page views, performance metrics (Core Web Vitals), and traffic patterns without using cookies or tracking individual users. For more information, see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
Umami Analytics (Cookie-Based, Opt-In)
We use Umami Analytics to understand detailed user behavior and improve our services. Umami collects anonymized data about page views, events, and user interactions. Umami uses a single session cookie (umami.cache) that expires when you close your browser. This service is opt-in and requires your consent via our cookie banner. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your Dashboard.
Server-Side Analytics (Privacy-Compliant)
We collect server-side analytics for profile views and link clicks to provide you with usage statistics. This data is privacy-compliant:
- IP addresses are truncated (last octet removed: 192.168.1.123 becomes 192.168.1.0)
- No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected
- Data is retained for 90 days
- You can view and download your analytics data at any time
To opt out of analytics cookies, use our cookie consent banner or visit your Dashboard. Note that server-side analytics (profile views and link clicks) are based on legitimate interest and cannot be blocked, but remain privacy-compliant as described above.

- The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
