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.
