Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how AuthorityLayer LLC ("AuthorityLayer," "we," "us," "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit www.authoritylayer.com (the "Marketing Site"), purchase the LinkedIn Profile System, or use app.authoritylayer.com (the "Client Workspace").

Summary

• We collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, LinkedIn profile content needed to deliver the LinkedIn Profile System, and limited payment information provided by Stripe after a successful purchase.
• We never see or store your full card number. Stripe handles that directly.
• We use secure Magic Link authentication, so you do not need to create or remember a password.
• Your data is stored securely and only used to deliver and support your order.
• We use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to understand website traffic and performance, and we never sell your personal information.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Contact and account information: your name and email address, collected when you make an inquiry, complete Stripe Checkout, or otherwise communicate with us.
• Service Intake information: the onboarding information you choose to provide before production begins, including your current LinkedIn profile content, business or professional background, your goals, and any other information you choose to share that is relevant to the LinkedIn Profile System.
• Communications: messages you send us during the inquiry, qualification, or support process, and any revision feedback you submit during the revision window.

Analytics Information

AuthorityLayer uses Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to understand aggregate website traffic, page usage, referral sources, device information, approximate location, and website performance. We use this information to understand how the Marketing Site is used and to improve its performance and user experience.

2. Payment Processing (Stripe)

All payments are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. When you complete a purchase, Stripe collects and processes your payment card details directly. AuthorityLayer never receives or stores your full card number or other sensitive payment credentials.

After a successful payment, AuthorityLayer receives transaction and billing information from Stripe that is necessary to confirm your purchase, maintain payment records, provide your service, and support your order. We do not receive or store your full payment card number.

3. Authentication

AuthorityLayer uses passwordless authentication for the Client Workspace. Instead of a password, you receive a secure sign-in link by email when access to your Client Workspace is provided. AuthorityLayer does not require you to create or remember a password.

4. Communications

We use your email address to send you:

• Your Magic Link and other access-related messages
• Order and delivery updates related to your LinkedIn Profile System
• Responses to support requests or revision feedback
• Optional account notifications, based on the notification preferences associated with your Account (email only)

5. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Set up and deliver the LinkedIn Profile System you purchased
• Provide access to, and support within, the Client Workspace
• Communicate with you about your order, deliverables, and revisions
• Maintain accurate business, billing, and order records
• Improve our internal production process and service quality
• Comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

6. Data Storage and Security

AuthorityLayer uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Access to personal information is limited based on operational need.

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Third-Party Services

AuthorityLayer uses third-party service providers to help operate and deliver our services. These providers support functions such as payment processing, cloud hosting and data storage, authentication, transactional email delivery, website analytics, and website performance monitoring.

These service providers may process personal information on our behalf only as necessary to provide the services we use. They maintain their own privacy and security practices.

8. Cookies

AuthorityLayer uses essential browser technologies where necessary to provide core functionality, including authentication, security, and maintaining access to the Client Workspace. Disabling essential browser storage may prevent parts of the service from functioning correctly.

The Marketing Site also uses Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand aggregate website traffic and performance. These tools do not use analytics cookies.

9. Data Retention

AuthorityLayer retains your Account, order, and Service Intake information only for as long as necessary to provide the LinkedIn Profile System, support your Account, fulfill your order, comply with our legal, tax, and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Billing and transaction records associated with Stripe payments are retained in line with standard recordkeeping requirements for financial records.

If you would like your information deleted sooner, contact us using the information in Section 14, and we will honor your request except where we are required by law to retain certain records.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information, subject to our legitimate business, legal, tax, and accounting recordkeeping needs
• Opt out of non-essential email communications (order- and account-related emails may still be sent as needed to deliver the service)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 14.

11. Children's Privacy

The LinkedIn Profile System is intended for adults and business professionals and is not directed toward children. AuthorityLayer does not knowingly collect personal information from children, and if we learn that we have inadvertently done so, we will take steps to delete it.

12. International Data Transfers

Some of AuthorityLayer's third-party service providers, including infrastructure and payment providers, may process or store information in countries other than your own. Where applicable, AuthorityLayer relies on the safeguards and privacy commitments provided by those third-party providers when personal information is processed internationally.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or the LinkedIn Profile System. The "Effective Date" at the top of this document reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected by updating this page.
