Privacy Policy - Linkbox : Quick link saver

Last updated: September 5, 2026

Linkbox ("the app", "we", "our") is a local-first Android app for saving and organizing links. This page explains what data the app collects, how it's used, and your choices.

The short version: Linkbox does not require an account, does not collect or transmit your saved links to any server, and stores your entire library only on your own device. The only external data collection comes from the AdMob advertising SDK used to show ads in the app.

1. Data we do NOT collect

Linkbox has no backend server and no user accounts. We never see, collect, or store:

The links, titles, notes, or categories you save
Your name, email address, or any account information
Your location
Any content from the JSON backup files you export or import

All of this data lives exclusively in a local database on your device. Export and import happen entirely through Android's own file picker — the file never passes through any server we control.

2. Advertising (Google AdMob)

Linkbox displays banner and interstitial ads through Google AdMob to support free use of the app. AdMob may collect and process the following on our behalf:

Your advertising ID (a resettable, non-permanent device identifier)
Device information (model, OS version, general region) used for ad delivery and fraud prevention
Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks) for measurement

This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the Google EU User Consent Policy. You can review or reset your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your device's Settings → Privacy → Ads.

3. Permissions the app uses

Internet access — used to fetch a saved page's title/favicon, and to load ads.
Network state — used to check connectivity before attempting network requests.

Linkbox does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, location, or storage beyond the file picker used for backups.

4. Children's privacy

Linkbox is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, please contact us using the details below so we can address it.

5. Data retention and deletion

Since your data is stored only on your device, you are always in full control of it. Deleting the app, or clearing its data from Android Settings, permanently removes everything Linkbox has stored, including your saved links and preferences.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Since the app links directly to this page, you'll always see the current version — no app update is required for policy changes to take effect.
