Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Overview

LinkedIn Cover Photo ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at linkedincoverphoto.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

Data We Collect

We collect minimal data to operate and improve the service:

  • Anonymous analytics data — page views, button clicks, and feature usage via PostHog. This data is anonymised and cannot identify you personally.
  • IP addresses — temporarily processed for rate limiting purposes only. We do not store IP addresses in analytics or logs beyond what is necessary for abuse prevention.
  • Browser metadata — device type, screen size, and browser version collected anonymously by PostHog to help us optimise the experience.

We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information. There are no user accounts, logins, or sign-up forms on this site.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies for the following purposes:

  • Analytics cookies — PostHog sets cookies to distinguish unique visitors and track anonymous usage patterns. These are first-party cookies.
  • Preference cookies — we store your cookie consent preference in localStorage so we don't ask you again.

You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. The site will continue to function without cookies, though analytics will be less accurate.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate this site:

  • Unsplash — provides the gallery images. When you browse or download images, requests are made to Unsplash's servers. See Unsplash's Privacy Policy.
  • Amazon CloudFront (AWS) — serves our website and cached images. AWS may process connection metadata. See AWS Privacy Notice.
  • PostHog — provides anonymous analytics. Data is processed in the US. See PostHog's Privacy Policy.

Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

  • Right to access — request a copy of any data we hold about you.
  • Right to erasure — request deletion of your data.
  • Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Right to restrict processing — request that we limit how we use your data.
  • Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Right to object — object to processing of your data for certain purposes.

Since we collect only anonymous analytics data, most of these rights are already satisfied by default — we cannot identify individual users in our data. If you have concerns, please contact us.

Data Retention

Anonymous analytics data is retained for up to 12 months, after which it is automatically deleted. IP addresses used for rate limiting are not stored persistently and expire from our systems within 24 hours.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
