There are several questions in your explanation.


backlink. Is it bad for us? Will it harm us in SEO?


You should look up 'bad backlinks' to learn more on the matter, and see your particular situation in further detail. Backlinks which are generated by websites that are not highly ranked by search engines will not themselves be much valued, and could even prove counter-productive.


Do we need to remove those backlinks?


Ideally bad backlinks would better disappear altogether. However, since they are available from third-party websites, the trick is to have the links removed although you cannot action that yourself directly.

There is plenty of advice on this matter online. Browsing several sites on that particular issue won't do you any harm. Just make sure the content has been published as recently as possible.

Hope this is a useful answer.
