Can I Sign Up/Sign In to LinSublim Using Google, Facebook, or Other External Accounts?
Some people are used to signing up and logging in with their Google or Facebook accounts. It's quick and easy! Why doesn't LinSublim offer this option?

While we understand the convenience of using Google, Facebook, or other external accounts for login, LinSublim prioritizes user control and privacy. We've chosen to rely on email-based registration for several important reasons:
-
Reliability and Independence:
- Relying on external providers introduces potential points of failure. If a provider experiences an outage, you could be temporarily locked out of your LinSublim account.
- Similarly, if an external provider suspends your account, you risk losing access to your LinSublim purchases and progress, even if you've done nothing wrong on our platform. Facebook accounts get hacked all the time.
-
Privacy and Data Control:
- Many external providers collect extensive data about your online activities. This can raise privacy concerns, especially when dealing with health and wellness information.
- We believe your health journey should be kept private, and we aim to minimize the amount of data shared with third parties.
- Limiting data sharing helps you to avoid being targeted with even more adds.
-
Universal Accessibility:
- Almost everyone online has an email address, making it a reliable and universally accessible method for account creation and login.
We understand this might be less convenient for some, but we believe it's the best approach for maintaining the security, reliability, and privacy of your LinSublim experience.
