Personally identifiable information
To help confirm your identity, this site's registration process may require you to provide authentication (such as your full name, address, email address, password, first College, matriculation year, date of birth, city, province/state, country and/or postal/zip code)
Purpose and Use of Information
We use the information we collect to provide Linc Up community services and features to you, to measure and improve those services and features, and to provide you with technical/user support. Unless you have told us otherwise, we may also use your information to suggest Lincoln projects that may be of interest to you. For example, if you provide details of your career sector, we may invite you to a Lincoln event or relevant talk focused on that sector.
Linc Up will operate on a strictly opt-in basis and will be accessible only to other members.
When you access Linc Up from a computer, mobile phone, or other device, we may collect information from that device about your browser type, location, and IP address, as well as the pages you visit.
Use of Cookies - these are small files that reside on your system and are read by our website and webmail interface so as to enhance your experience. No personal information is stored and you may delete these cookies at any time.

For those of you with a LinkedIn account, your Linc Up log in and LinkedIn identity can be connected with a single login option. If you choose to set this up, you will need to manually authorise the site to receive your LinkedIn credentials and allow access. The only piece of data shared between the site and LinkedIn is the LinkedIn ID, used for matching the two accounts. You can revoke this permission at any time.
