Privacy policy
Last updated:
Linvau publishes Obsidian notes as live links. We collect as little as possible: what we need to run the service and to tell people on the waitlist when the beta opens. We do not sell data, show ads or use tracking.
1. Who is responsible
The controller of your personal data is Jorge Fabián Salazar, based in Argentina, who operates Linvau. For any question about privacy or to exercise your rights, write to support@linvau.com.
2. The website (linvau.com)
The website uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party scripts.
Like every website, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type to deliver the pages and protect them from attacks. These technical logs are kept for up to 7 days and are not used to identify you.
3. The waitlist
- What we keep: your email address, the language of the page, the page where you signed up, the date you signed up and confirmed and, if you answer them, what you would mainly use Linvau for and whether you want emails about Linvau.
- Why: to write to you when the Linvau beta opens and about its launch; if you ticked the box, also with news about Linvau. Your answer about how you would use it helps us prioritise features. Nothing else, and never on behalf of others.
- Legal basis: your consent. You give it by confirming your email (double opt-in) and can withdraw it at any time with the link in every email.
- How long: until you leave the list, or at most 12 months after the beta opens. Unconfirmed addresses are deleted after 7 days. Leaving the list deletes your address.
- Abuse protection: to limit automated sign-ups we keep a daily, irreversible hash of your IP address for 24 hours. We do not keep the IP address itself.
4. Your Linvau account (Obsidian plugin)
- To publish notes you connect the plugin with your email address and a 6-digit code. There are no passwords.
- What we keep: your email address; for each connected device, the name and platform the plugin reports and the dates it was connected and last used; the device session, stored only as a hash.
- Login codes are stored only as a hash and deleted within 24 hours. To prevent abuse, the IP address that requested a code is kept for 24 hours.
- Legal basis: providing the service you asked for.
- How long: while your account exists. You can disconnect any device from the plugin. To delete your account, write to support@linvau.com.
5. Notes you publish
- We receive only the notes you choose to publish, their attachments, their title and their path in your vault. Nothing else in your vault is read or sent.
- Note properties (frontmatter) are removed on your device before sending.
- Anyone with the link can read a published note. You can pause the link, replace it with a new one or unpublish the note at any time.
- We keep the last 20 versions of each note. Unpublishing deletes all its versions and attachments; only a minimal record (title and path) remains, so the old link keeps answering that the note was removed.
- Do not publish personal data of other people without a valid reason: you are responsible for the content you publish.
6. Readers of published notes
Readers do not need an account. The reader uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party scripts. Only the technical logs described in section 2 apply.
7. Emails
We only send the emails you request: login codes and the waitlist confirmation, and later the news about the beta if you are on the list. They contain no tracking pixels and no tracked links.
8. Service providers
- Cloudflare, Inc.: hosting, database, file storage and email sending. Processes data on its global network, including the United States.
- Zoho: the mailbox that receives replies to our emails and support requests.
- GitHub: distribution of the Obsidian plugin. Downloads are governed by GitHub's own terms.
- We do not sell or share personal data for advertising.
9. International transfers
Our providers may process data outside your country. When the law requires it, the transfer relies on the safeguards offered by the provider, such as standard contractual clauses.
10. Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable format. Write to support@linvau.com; we answer within 30 days.
You can also complain to a data protection authority: in Argentina, the Agencia de Acceso a la Información Pública (AAIP); in the European Union, the authority of your country; in Brazil, the ANPD.
11. Security
All connections use HTTPS. Sessions and login codes are stored only as hashes, and we collect the minimum data needed for each purpose.
12. Children
Linvau is not intended for people under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
13. Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use data you already gave us, we will tell you by email before it applies.
