Privacy Policy for Linkofy

Effective Date: August 28, 2025

Overview

Linkofy provides a customizable start page available as a web application and as browser extensions for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling your information responsibly.

What We Collect

  • No personal data is collected.
  • We do not collect, transmit, or sell any user-identifiable information.
  • We do not track your browsing history across websites.

Local Settings & Storage

Linkofy saves your layout preferences (e.g., added sections, their order, sizes, and other UI options) locally on your device:

  • Web App: stored in the browser (e.g., localStorage/IndexedDB).
  • Browser Extensions (Chrome/Edge/Firefox): stored via the browser’s extension storage (e.g., chrome.storage, browser.storage).

These settings are used only to provide and remember your customized start page.

Sync

If you enable your browser’s built-in syncing, your settings may sync between your own devices via the browser vendor’s services (e.g., Chrome Sync, Firefox Sync, Microsoft account sync). Linkofy does not receive or control that data; it is managed by your browser provider under their policies.

Permissions (Extensions)

Linkofy requests only the minimum permissions needed for core features. Typical permissions include:

  • storage – to save your layout and preferences.
  • Optional (only if used): tabs, bookmarks, topSites, or limited host access to user-specified URLs for previews/embeds.

If you don’t use any optional capabilities, we don’t request those permissions. If added in the future, we’ll update this policy and the extension listing with a clear justification.

Data Sharing

  • We do not send your settings or content to our servers.
  • We do not share data with third parties.
  • We do not use analytics or advertising trackers.

Children’s Privacy

Linkofy is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Security

Because your settings are stored locally or via your browser’s sync, access is protected by your device and browser security. We recommend using a strong device password and keeping your browser up to date.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy if our features or storage practices change. We will revise the “Effective Date” above and, where appropriate, update our store listing or in-app notice.
