Linkup Point is officially registered as Linkup Point INC. in Delaware, and registered to do business in Colorado, with our actual office in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We are a C Corporation with the intention of becoming a Public Benefit Corporation. Our website is at www.linkup-point.com and we may be contacted at team@linkup-point.com.
The mission of Linkup Point is to increase participation and lower barriers to entry in sports and recreation, and consequently to promote better health and quality of life, for all people in all places. Linkup Point also promotes recreational access and the stewardship of recreational and wild places, in order to enhance and sustain those places for current and future generations.
Linkup Point is dedicated to providing a helpful and productive service that ultimately promotes health and quality of life, to all people. Therefore, we take our Terms of Service very seriously, as these terms protect the Linkup Point user community, Linkup Point itself, and all others. Abiding by the Terms of Service will help create a healthy community for all involved.
Below is an overview of our Terms of Service for our “Platform”, which means any website, application, or service we offer. You should read the complete Terms of Service because this document is our legally binding agreement. The Terms of Service includes information about your legal rights and covers areas such as limitations of liability, resolution of disputes by mandatory arbitration rather than a judge or jury in a court of law, and a class action waiver.
Linkup Point enables you and other users to arrange offline, real-world events and services. The terms “Linkup Point,” “we,” “us,” and “our” include Linkup Point INC. We use the terms “you” and “your” to mean any person using our Platform, and any organization or person using the Platform on an organization’s behalf. We use the word “Platform” to mean any website, application, or service offered by Linkup Point, including content we offer and electronic communications we send. We provide our Platform to you subject to these Terms of Service. We use the terms “Terms of Service” and “Agreement” interchangeably to mean this document. Your use of the Platform signifies that you agree to this Agreement. If you are using the Platform for an organization, you agree to this Agreement on behalf of that organization, and represent you have authority to bind that organization to the terms contained in this Agreement. If you do not or are unable to agree to this Agreement, do not use our Platform.
We may modify this Agreement from time to time. When we do, we will provide notice to you by publishing the most current version and revising the date at the top of this page. If we make any material change to this Agreement, we will provide additional notice to you, such as by sending you an email or displaying a prominent notice on our Platform. By continuing to use the Platform after any changes come into effect, you agree to the revised Agreement. If you do not wish to accept the revised Agreement, you can close your account.
Our Platform is intended for anyone who is at least 18 years old. You represent that you are at least 18. If you are not 18 or older, you may not use our Platform. Additional eligibility requirements for a particular portion of our Platform may be set by any member who has the ability to moderate or manage that portion of our Platform. For example, the eligibility requirements for an event may be set by the organizer of that event.
We may modify, suspend, or terminate your account or access to the Platform if, in our sole discretion, we determine that you have violated this Agreement, including any of the policies or guidelines that are part of this Agreement, that it is in the best interest of other members on the Platform, or to protect our brand or Platform. When this happens, we will notify you of the reasons for the modification, suspension, or termination. We also may remove accounts of members who are inactive for an extended period of time.
Other users of the Platform, including event, group, and service organizers, have the ability to moderate or manage your access to their accounts, groups, events, and services. We do not have any responsibility to facilitate any of your interactions with any other user.
When you register, you provide us with some basic information, including your email, password, first name, last name, username, and profile type. We may use two-factor authentication in order for you to register or access your account with us. You consent to our use of SMS/text message verification. Standard data and messaging rates may apply. Keep your email address, phone number, and other account information current and accurate. Also, you agree to maintain the security and confidentiality of your password (or else we may need to disable your account). We strongly encourage you to choose a strong and unique password that is not shared with any other account or online service and practice other healthy password security habits to help avoid unauthorized access to your account. You alone are responsible for anything that happens from your failure to maintain that security and confidentiality, such as by sharing your account credentials with others. We recommend you use multifactor authentication to maximize your account security. This option is available to you in your Account menu and the Multifactor Authentication link.
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Linkup Point grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to use the Platform in order to access and use the services and features that we make available to you.
Use of all of the features on our Platform is currently free, but we may charge fees for other features. We may in the future implement a fee, for certain current or future features of our Platform. If we implement a new or modified fee, we will give you notice in advance such as by posting changes on our Platform or sending you an email. You agree to pay those fees and any associated taxes for your continued use of the applicable service. Unless otherwise stated, all fees and all transactions are in U.S. dollars.
You are responsible for the Content that you post to the Platform or otherwise provide to Linkup Point. We use the word “Content” to mean the information, media, material, messages, and any other content that you post to the Platform or otherwise send to us.
Examples of your Content include, but are not limited to:

Linkup Point collects registration and other information about you through our Platform. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details on how we collect, use, and disclose this information.

When you use our Platform, we require that you agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to not violate or infringe the rights of any third party.
In addition, your access to and use of some areas or features of the Platform may be subject to additional terms, policies, standards or guidelines (“Additional Terms”). You may be required to accept these Additional Terms before you can access these Platform areas and features. If there is a conflict between the Terms of Service and the Additional Terms, those Additional Terms will govern your access to and use of that Platform area or feature, unless otherwise specified in the Additional Terms.
When the Platform uses third party services to provide certain features and services for our members, our members may be required to comply with the terms of service that apply to these features and services.
If you do not comply, we may modify, suspend, or terminate your account or access to the Platform, at our sole discretion, and we will provide you with reasons for the modification, suspension, or termination.
Linkup Point does not control the Content of other members. When we become aware of inappropriate Content on our Platform, we reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action, but we do not have any obligation to monitor, nor do we take responsibility for, the Content of other members.
Without limitation to Section 9, Linkup Point is not a party to any offline arrangements made through our Platform. Linkup Point does not conduct or require background checks on members and does not attempt to verify the truth or accuracy of statements made by members. Linkup Point makes no representations or warranties concerning the conduct or Content of any members or their interactions with you.
Exercise common sense and good judgment when using our Platform and interacting with other members, both on our Platform and at Linkup Point events and services. If you have a concern regarding other members, you can report them within the app or by contacting us at team@linkup-point.com.
Our Platform contains proprietary and confidential information and is protected by intellectual property and other laws. Unless we expressly permit it through this Agreement, you agree that you will not, either directly or indirectly (a) use, host, store, reproduce, modify, publish, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, or create derivative works of the Platform, or any portion of the Platform; (b) remove or alter the proprietary notices on the Platform; (c) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or attempt to discover the source code or structure, sequence, and organization of the Platform; and (d) rent, lease, resell, distribute, or use the Platform for commercial purposes that are not contemplated by this Agreement. You also agree that you will not use the Platform to solicit or collect (i) personal data from others except as necessary for the administration of or participation in an event or (ii) sensitive personal data, as defined or treated as such under applicable law (including, by way of example only, health information and social security numbers and other government identifiers). In addition, you agree that you will comply with the export control laws of your local jurisdiction. You also represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You agree that you will not, either directly or indirectly, (a) extract data from the Platform for a commercial purpose not permitted by these Terms of Service, whether through use of an automated system or software, and whether operated by a third party or otherwise (“screen scraping,” “data scraping,” or “web scraping”); (b) engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts, that is designed to interfere with or disrupt, or imposes undue burdens on the Platform or its systems.
You agree to use, retain, and otherwise process personal data collected from the Platform in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations and solely for purposes of administering and participating in Linkup Point events and services. Without limitation, you agree to provide notice to individuals about your processing of their personal data, to obtain any necessary consents, and to respond to requests made by individuals as required by applicable law. You also agree to safeguard such data from unauthorized access or processing. You must delete such personal data once it is no longer strictly necessary for the administration of a Linkup Point event or service promptly following a request from Linkup Point, and you will promptly certify to such deletion.
We work hard to continuously improve our Platform. This means that we may modify or discontinue portions or all of our Platform with or without notice and without liability to you or any third party.
The Platform may contain links to third party sites or services, and may be integrated with various third party services, applications and sites that could make available to you their content and products. We don’t control these third parties and aren’t responsible for those sites or services or their content or products. These third parties may have their own terms and policies, and your use of them will be governed by those terms and policies. You do not have a license to use the intellectual property of third parties merely by way of your access to our Platform.
Summary: To the full extent permitted by applicable law, you agree not to hold us responsible for anything that happens related to transactions with third parties, member interactions, or in connection with a Linkup Point event or service. You also agree not to hold event or service organizers or other Linkup Point members responsible for their negligence in connection with their Content or conduct during an event or service.
To the full extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release us and our officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, consultants, corporate parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, sponsors, and other third-party partners ( “Linkup Point Parties”) from claims, demands, and damages (direct and consequential) (“Claims”), arising out of or in any way connected with any transaction with a third party, your interactions with other members, or in connection with a Linkup Point event or service. You also agree, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, to release event and service organizers and other members from Claims based on their negligence arising out of or in any way connected with their Content, or conduct during a Linkup Point event or service. The law in some countries and states do not allow the release, so these limits may not apply to you. You waive and relinquish all rights and benefits that you have or may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any similar provision of statutory or non-statutory law of any other jurisdiction to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You acknowledge that some Linkup Point events and services carry inherent dangers, such as the risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death. By participating in these events or services, you understand and agree that you have freely chosen to assume these risks.
Summary: To the full extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to reimburse us if we get sued in connection with your use of our Platform.
To the full extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold all Linkup Point Parties harmless from any Claims, made by any third party due to or arising out of (a) your violations of this Agreement, (b) your use, misuse, or abuse of our Platform, (c) your Content, (d) your violation of any law, statute, ordinance or regulation or the rights of a third party, or (e) your participation or conduct in a Linkup Point event or service that violates this Agreement. You agree to promptly notify us of any third party Claims, cooperate with all Linkup Point Parties in defending such Claims, and pay all fees, costs and expenses associated with defending such Claims (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees). You agree not to settle any Claim without our prior written consent.
Summary: Our Platform is provided to you “as is” and we make no warranties of any kind with respect to our Platform. Our liability in connection with the Platform is limited to the fees you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim or $100, whichever is greater.
Our Platform is provided to you “as is” and on an “as available” basis. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties and conditions of any kind, including but not limited to statutory warranties, and the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We also disclaim any warranties regarding (a) the reliability, timeliness, accuracy, and performance of our Platform, (b) any information, advice, services, or goods obtained through or advertised on our Platform or by us, as well as for any information or advice received through any links to other websites or resources provided through our Platform, (c) the results that may be obtained from the Platform, and (d) the correction of any errors in the Platform, (e) any material or data obtained through the use of our Platform, and (f) dealings with or as the result of the presence of marketing partners or other third parties on or located through our Platform. You may have additional rights under the law of the country in which you are based. You agree that the duration of such additional rights will be limited to the full extent permitted by such law.
To the full extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that in no event shall any Linkup Point Parties be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses (even if any Linkup Point Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages) arising out of or in connection with (a) our Platform or this Agreement or the inability to use our Platform (however arising, including our negligence), (b) statements or conduct of or transactions with any member or third party on the Platform, (c) your use of our Platform or transportation to or from Linkup Point events or services, attendance at Linkup Point events or services, participation in or exclusion from Linkup Point events or services, and the actions of you or others at Linkup Point events or services, or (d) any other matter relating to the Platform. Our liability to you or any third parties in any circumstance is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount of fees, if any, you paid to us in the 12 months prior to the action that may give rise to liability. The limitations set forth above in this Section 9 will not limit or exclude liability for our gross negligence, fraud, or intentional, malicious, or reckless misconduct. Some laws do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability, so these limits may not apply to you. If you are a member based in the EU, you have legal remedies if we cause you loss by our breach or non-performance of our legal obligations, or by our negligence, and these terms do not affect those statutory remedies.
Summary: If you have a dispute with Linkup Point, you agree to try to work it out directly with us first. If we can’t work it out, with limited exceptions, you must submit any dispute with us to a neutral arbitrator instead of taking the claim to a court of law. Claims can only be brought individually, and not as part of a class action. Members based in the European Union may have additional or different rights, as provided by applicable law. Linkup Point has no obligation to get involved with any disputes you have with other members, although we may try to facilitate a resolution.
Before making any claim, you and Linkup Point agree to try to resolve any disputes through good faith discussions. We use the term “claim” in this Section 10 to mean any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of our Platform or this Agreement, including your participation in Linkup Point events or services. You or Linkup Point may initiate this process by sending written notice according to Section 12.2 describing the dispute and your proposed resolution. In the event that we cannot resolve the issue within 30 business days following receipt of the initial notice, you or Linkup Point may bring a claim in accordance with this Section 10. Members based in the European Union may have additional or different rights, as provided by applicable law.
The arbitration procedures described in this Section 10.2 applies to all members, except for members who are based in the European Union. Section 10.6 sets out the dispute resolution procedures that apply to members who are based in the European Union.
a. Mandatory Arbitration.
Except as set forth in Section 11.3, you agree to submit any claim to JAMS Denver for final and binding arbitration. In arbitration, certain rights that you or we would have in court may not be available, such as discovery or appeal. You and Linkup Point are each expressly waiving any right to trial by judge or jury in a court of law. This agreement to arbitrate shall apply regardless of whether the claim arises during or after any termination of this Agreement or your relationship with Linkup Point.
b. Arbitration Time for Filing.
Any claim subject to arbitration must be filed within one year after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or should know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim, or the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
c. Arbitration Procedures.
Either party may commence arbitration by filing a written demand for arbitration with JAMS Denver, with a copy to the other party according to the notice procedures in Section 12.2. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures and any other applicable rules that JAMS requires (“JAMS Rules”) that are in effect as of the demand for arbitration. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law govern the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. Any arbitration hearings will take place in El Paso County, Colorado or elsewhere as required by JAMS Rules. Your responsibility to pay any filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the JAMS Rules. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and each other in scheduling the arbitration proceedings, and in selecting one arbitrator from the appropriate JAMS list with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and contract disputes. The arbitrator shall follow this Agreement and, to the extent permitted by JAMS Rules, can award costs, fees, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to the prevailing party, except that the arbitrator shall not award declaratory or injunctive relief benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You or Linkup Point may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in El Paso County, Colorado or any U.S. county where you live or work. You or Linkup Point may seek injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in El Paso County, Colorado as necessary to protect the intellectual property rights of you or Linkup Point pending the completion of arbitration. Linkup Point may take action in court or arbitration to collect any fees or recover damages for, or to seek injunctive relief relating to, Platform operations, or unauthorized use of our Platform or intellectual property. Nothing in this Section 10 shall diminish Linkup Point’s right to modify, suspend or terminate your account or access to our Platform under Section 3.
You may decline to resolve disputes through arbitration by emailing us at team@linkup-point.com within 30 days of the date you first agree to this Agreement. Your email must include your full name, residential address, the email address registered to your Linkup Point account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out according to this process, then Section 10.2 of this Agreement does not apply to you. This opt-out does not affect any other sections of this Agreement.
You agree to resolve disputes with Linkup Point on an individual basis. You agree not to bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You are expressly waiving any right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations.
If you are a member based in the European Union, the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident will apply. Nothing in this Agreement will affect your rights as a consumer to rely on the mandatory provisions of the local law that applies. If you are based in the European Union, the local laws in your European Union Member State may allow you to take legal action against Linkup Point in your Member State and to invoke certain local laws against Linkup Point. The European Commission provides for an online dispute resolution platform.
Linkup Point trademarks, logos, service marks, and service names are the intellectual property of Linkup Point. Our Platform, including our material on the Platform, are also our or our licensors’ intellectual property. You agree not to use our intellectual property without our prior written consent.
Linkup Point respects the intellectual property of others, and we expect our members to do the same. We may, in appropriate circumstances and in our discretion, remove or disable access to material that we believe may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. We may also restrict or terminate access to our Platform to those who we believe to be repeat infringers. If you believe your intellectual property rights have been violated, please contact us at team@linkup-point.com.
Summary: This section contains terms we have added for miscellaneous purposes. Please continue to read this section carefully.
Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement or as expressly required by law, any notice to us shall be given by emailing us at team@linkup-point.com. Any notice to you shall be given to the most current email address in your account.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Linkup Point, superseding any prior agreements between you and Linkup Point on such subject matter.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship between you and Linkup Point is intended or created by this Agreement. A member of the Linkup Point Platform is not Linkup Point’s representative or agent, and may not enter into an agreement on Linkup Point’s behalf.
This Agreement and the relationship between you and Linkup Point shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, except as provided in Section 10.
If our agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, or if you opt out of arbitration pursuant to Section 10.4, you and Linkup Point agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) must be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in El Paso County, Colorado, and you and Linkup Point agree to venue and personal jurisdiction in those courts.
If you are a member based in the European Union, you may bring judicial proceedings against us arising from or in connection with this Agreement in your country of residence. In addition, for members based in the European Union, the European Commission provides for an online dispute resolution platform.
Any claim not subject to arbitration must be commenced within one year after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or should know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim, or the shortest time period permitted by applicable law. This clause does not apply to you if you are based in the European Union.
This Agreement is not assignable, transferable, or sublicensable by you except with Linkup Point’s prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us to our corporate parent or any affiliate or subsidiary, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of Linkup Point’s assets, or similar transaction.
A party’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision and does not waive any right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, you and Linkup Point nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
If we terminate your account or access to our Platform, this Agreement terminates with respect to the member account that has been terminated, provided that the provisions listed in Section 12.11 will survive such termination.
Sections 4 (Fees, Payments, and Offers), 5 (Content License from You), 5 (Privacy), 7 (Release), 8 (Indemnification), 9 (Warranty Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability), 10 (Dispute Resolution), and 12 (General Terms) of this Agreement, and any other provisions necessary to give effect to these provisions, shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Please report any violations of this Agreement by a member or third party by sending an email to team@linkup-point.com.
Linkup Point is officially registered as Linkup Point INC. in Delaware, and registered to do business in Colorado, with our actual office in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We are a C Corporation in the process of becoming a Public Benefit Corporation. Our website is at www.linkup-point.com and we may be contacted at team@linkup-point.com.
The mission of Linkup Point is to increase participation and lower barriers to entry in sports and recreation, and consequently to promote better health and quality of life, for all people in all places. Linkup Point also promotes recreational access and the stewardship of recreational and wild places, in order to enhance and sustain those places for current and future generations.
Linkup Point is dedicated to providing a helpful and productive service that ultimately promotes health and quality of life, to all people. Therefore, we take protecting your privacy – and empowering you to protect your privacy – very seriously. If we failed to do this, then we would be failing our mission to you. Our Privacy Policy reflects this sentiment. Any sharing of information with third parties integrated into our Platform, is directly related to providing you with a better user experience. We will never sell user information, or derive benefits from it in a way that is contrary to your benefit as a user.
Our Privacy Policy explains how Linkup Point collects, uses, and discloses information about you. The terms “Linkup Point,” “we,” “us,” and “our” include Linkup Point INC. and our affiliates. We use the terms “member,” “you,” and “your” to mean any person using our Platform or attending related events, including any organization or person using the Platform on an organization’s behalf. This Privacy Policy applies to the processing of information about members and other individuals that we collect when you use our “Platform,” which means any website, application, or services we offer, or when you communicate with us.
We collect information that you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information that you provide when you create an account, add information to your profile, group friends, create or attend events, set availability, and fill out other forms. The types of information that we may collect to create your account include your name, username, password, email, location, date of birth, gender, and any other information that you choose to provide. Your choice of availability, friends, groups, activities and events is optional, but we are required to process this information in order to administer your account, and to indicate that you are participating in the events that you join. See Section 3 to learn how we will use the information that you provide to personalize our recommendations and other content to you.
On occasion, the information that you give us when you join an event may imply information about you; for instance, the mere fact of joining a certain event may indicate information about your health, fitness ability, or sexual identity. Joining such events, or posting information on the Platform about these topics, is entirely voluntarily and done with your consent. This, and other kinds of sensitive information, is given special protection.
When you use our Platform, we automatically collect information about you, including:
We may use information about you for various purposes related to operating our Platform, including to:
We may use information about you for various purposes related to communicating with you, including to:
We may use information about you for various other purposes, including to:
We share some of the information that we collect by displaying it on our Platform according to your member profile and account settings. Some information, such as your first name, username, and profile picture, is always public. Some information, such as Location, is Public by default, but can be changed to “All Members”, “My Connections”, or “Only Me”. Some information, such as attendance of an event, will always be visible to other members of that Linkup Point event, and may be public, depending on the settings of that event. We recommend that you check the event settings and what information will be available before attending the event to ensure that you are happy with the information that is visible to others. If you would like to easily see and change the privacy/visibility settings of all fields on your profile, you may select the Account sub-menu and then the Privacy link in the dropdown menu under your account name at the top right of your screen when logged in. Under the Account menu you may also Export Data, Delete Account or change Email Preferences. By exporting data you can see all the data that you have explicitly provided to us.
We may use service providers in connection with operating and improving the Platform to assist with certain functions, such as payment processing, email transmission, conducting surveys or contests, data hosting, managing our ads, and some aspects of our technical and customer support. We take measures to ensure that these service providers access, process, and store information about you only for the purposes we authorize, subject to confidentiality obligations.
We may access, preserve, and disclose information about you to third parties, including the content of messages, if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, applicable law, regulation, legal process, or audits. We may also disclose information about you if we believe that your actions are inconsistent with our Terms of Service or related guidelines and policies, or if necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of, or prevent fraud or abuse of, Linkup Point or others.
The Platform may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools which let you share actions that you take on our Platform with third-party services, and vice versa. Such features let you share information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you have chosen with the service. The third-party services’ use of the information will be governed by the third-parties’ privacy policies, and we do not control the third-parties’ use of the shared data. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please review the privacy policies of the services that provide these features.
If Linkup Point is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of our assets, information about you may be shared, sold, or transferred as part of that transaction. We may also share information about you with current or future corporate parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates.
We may de-identify or aggregate information about you and share it freely, so that you can no longer be identified. We may also share information about you with your consent or at your direction or where we are legally entitled to do so.
We may allow others to use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Platform and other websites and online services.
Linkup Point is based in the United States. Information about you will be transferred to, and processed in, the U.S. and countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country and, in some cases, may not be as protective. We have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We employ technical and organizational measures designed to appropriately protect your information that is under our control and that we process on your behalf from unauthorized access collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification or disposal, both during transmission and once we receive it. We store all information that you provide to us on secure servers. We train employees regarding our data privacy policies and procedures, and permit authorized employees to access information on a need to know basis, as required for their role. We use firewalls designed to protect against intruders and test for network vulnerabilities. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure.
Where you have a password, which enables you to use our services, you are responsible for keeping this password complex, secure, and confidential. If you would like to update or change your password, you may do so by selecting the Account and Login Information links from the dropdown menu under your account name on the top right of your screen while logged in, and then changing your password. We also highly recommend that you enable Multifactor Authentication, which can be accessed by going to the Account and Multifactor Authentication links in that same dropdown menu. Multifactor Authentication is the safest way to protect your account.
We retain certain information that we collect from you while you are a member of the Platform, and in certain cases where you have deleted your account, for the following reasons:
You may export and view what data you have explicitly provided to us by navigating to Account and Export Data in the dropdown menu and sub-menu under your account name at the top right of your screen while logged in. If you choose to delete your account you may do so by clicking the Delete Account link in the same Account sub-menu.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that you provide to third parties, such as other members, including event organizers, and others with whom you may share information about you. Our Platform may direct you to a third-party service, such as social media services, or a portion of our Platform may be controlled by a third party (typically through the use of a frame or pop-up window separate from other content on our Platform). Disclosure of information to these third parties is subject to the relevant third party’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the third-party privacy policy or content, even if we link to those services from our Platform or if we share information with these third parties.
We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will provide notice to you by publishing the most current version and revising the date at the top of this page. If we make any material change to this Privacy Policy, we will provide additional notice to you, such as by sending you an email or displaying a prominent notice on our Platform.
You may edit or delete your account information by using the Settings and Profile menus and options provided to you on the website and app. You may also delete your entire account by navigating to the Delete Account link.
