This Privacy Policy describes how LogicGateGames LLC collects, uses, and shares information when you use Save Links. By using the App you agree to the practices described here.
1. What Stays On Your Device
Everything you save - links, text, titles, notes, categories, and the corrections you make - is stored only on your device, in the App's private storage. There is no account, no sign-in, and no server belonging to us that receives your saved items. We cannot see what you have saved.
The App opts out of Android’s cloud backup. On Android 9 and later, if you set up a new phone with Android’s phone-to-phone transfer, Android may copy your saved items and their preview images directly to the new phone. The App’s settings are not copied.
2. Link Previews
When you save a link, the App fetches that page's title, description, and preview image so the item is recognisable in your list, when you next open the App. This is a direct request from your device to that website; the preview image, or the site's icon if there is none, is downloaded from wherever the page says it is stored. The request identifies itself as Save Links. If the site returns nothing, the App tries once more with a browser-style request that includes your device's language. As with opening the page in a browser, that website receives your IP address and can record the visit. No information about you is sent to us, and nothing about your other saved items is included in the request.
For YouTube links the App uses YouTube's public oEmbed endpoint to fetch the video title, channel name, and thumbnail. No API key or account is used.
3. Information We Collect
We do not collect your name, email address, account details, or the contents of what you save. Third-party services used by the App collect limited technical and usage data:
- Google AdMob - Displays ads to free users. Collects the Advertising ID (a resettable device identifier), ad interaction data, device model, OS version, and approximate location derived from your IP address. You can reset this ID in your device settings, or remove ads by purchasing the paid version.
- Google User Messaging Platform - Shows the advertising consent form used in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and records the answer you give. That answer decides whether ads may be requested at all and whether they are personalised. If you were shown that form, you can reopen it and change your answer at any time from the App’s Settings screen, under “Manage ad preferences”, and a withdrawal takes effect immediately rather than at the next restart.
- Google Play Billing - Handles the one-time Premium purchase. Payment data is managed by Google; we never see your card or payment details.
- Google Play In-App Review - May show Google Play’s own rating prompt. It receives nothing you have saved.
- Firebase Crashlytics - If the App crashes, Crashlytics sends a crash report so we can fix the problem. A report contains the error's technical details (stack trace), device model, Android version, app version, and a random Crashlytics installation ID. It never includes your content, such as your links, and it contains no name, email or advertising ID. Reports are processed by Google and kept for up to 90 days. We do not sell or share them.
4. App Lock
If you turn on App Lock, the App asks Android to verify your fingerprint, face, or screen lock before showing your saved items. This check is performed entirely by the Android system. The App never receives, stores, or transmits your fingerprint, face data, PIN, pattern, or password - it is told only whether the check succeeded.
5. Permissions
- Internet - to fetch link previews, to show ads, and to send a crash report if the App crashes.
- Network state - to avoid attempting a fetch when the device has no connection.
- Run at startup - so a scheduled automatic backup keeps its schedule after the phone restarts.
- Advertising ID - added by the AdMob SDK, as described above.
The App requests no location, contacts, camera, microphone, or storage permissions. Exporting and importing a backup uses Android's document picker, so the App can read or write only the single file you choose.
6. Files The App Writes
The App can write your saved items to a file, either when you ask it to or on a schedule you set. You choose where that file goes. It is not encrypted, and we never receive a copy.
If you choose a folder belonging to a cloud service - such as Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox - or send the file to another app, then a copy of your saved items leaves this device and that provider's own privacy policy applies to it. That is your choice to make; the App does not upload anything on its own.
Items you have marked as private are never written to files meant for other programs to read.
7. Children
The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. Data Deletion
Deleting an item removes it from your device. Uninstalling the App deletes all of its data, including everything you saved. Because we hold no copy, there is nothing for you to request that we delete, and nothing for us to restore. Crash reports, if any were sent, contain none of your saved items and are deleted automatically after 90 days.
9. Changes
We may update this policy as the App changes. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
