# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

## FAQ for Users

**How does LustLink work?**
Each user independently answers a detailed questionnaire about preferences and boundaries. The answers are compared with the partner via a private link. LustLink makes exclusively shared interests visible.

**Why should I use LustLink when I can just talk to my partner?**
That's exactly what LustLink was developed for. Many people find it easier to formulate desires for themselves first before expressing them directly. LustLink creates a safe entry point into this conversation by making only shared interests visible.

**You can't give a "wrong" answer.**
Answers that your partner does not share are not shown to them. This eliminates the risk of rejection or having to justify yourself.

**Is LustLink free?**
Yes. The most important basic functions, such as answering the questionnaire and calculating the LustScore, are permanently free of charge.

**Why is there Premium?**
The core functions remain free. Premium is intended for users who want to use more extensive evaluations or additional convenience features. This helps fund the further development of LustLink. Premium features include:
* A deeper, more extensive comparison of all questions.
* Shared results can be saved as a PDF (with mutual consent).
* Ad-free use.
* Cosmetic adjustments (changing design or username).

**Who can see my answers?**
No one but yourself. LustLink uses a protected comparison. When you are linked with a partner, they only see the preferences where you agree. Anything you reject or skip is not shown to the other person.

**Do I need an app from the App Store?**
No. LustLink is a Progressive Web App (PWA). You access the platform directly in the browser of your smartphone or computer.

**Does LustLink work anonymously?**
Yes. There are no public profiles. LustLink requires only the absolute minimum data necessary for login and the comparison.

**Can I delete my data?**
Yes. Every user can completely and irrevocably delete their profile data and answers from our servers at any time.

**Who owns my data?**
Exclusively you. We do not sell your personal data to third parties and do not use it for personalized advertising.

**Can I use LustLink without a partner?**
The full functionality of the comparison unfolds with a partner or date. However, many users initially use the questionnaire to gain clarity about their own desires and boundaries before sharing the link.

**Is LustLink LGBTQ+ friendly?**
Yes. The platform and the questionnaire are intentionally phrased in a gender-neutral way and cater to all sexual identities and orientations.

**Is LustLink suitable for open relationships?**
Yes, ideally so. Especially in open or polyamorous dynamics, a quick, protected comparison helps clarify clear boundaries and shared interests upfront.
