 * Hi [@supakwai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supakwai/),
 * Thank you for leaving us a review regarding this issue.
 * Please know that we don’t request a phone number when you’re purchasing a plan
   for ​Broken Link Checker. Our standard checkout form is shown below:
 * [https://a.supportally.com/i/IkIgSd](https://a.supportally.com/i/IkIgSd)
   [https://a.supportally.com/i/gdDPN1](https://a.supportally.com/i/gdDPN1)
 * However, there is a service called Link which may request a phone number in order
   to verify your account with them. Link is a service that helps you pay quickly
   and securely with your preferred payment methods when you set up an account with
   them and link your cards with their secure service.
 * This is required by Link, not us, and we don’t store or use your phone number.
 * I hope this information helps, and reassures you that we’re not requesting or
   using this information.

 * Hey [@supakwai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supakwai/)
 * Just to clarify: we do require a phone number during sign-up.
 * We don’t use it for marketing or any commercial messaging.
 * The only purpose is to notify you if a payment fails on a premium plan, so we
   can prevent any service interruption.
