Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information LINKEDROP collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. This policy applies to the LINKEDROP mobile application and related services.

Last updated: 18-09-2026

1. Introduction

LINKEDROP ("we", "us", "our") operates the LINKEDROP mobile application. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use our app and related services. By using LINKEDROP, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, information generated when you use LINKEDROP, and information received from third-party services you choose to connect.

  • Account information you provide (see Section 3).
  • Media URLs you submit for processing (see Section 4).
  • Download history associated with your account (see Section 5).
  • Social account information, if you connect one (see Section 6).
  • Basic device and technical information (see Section 7).

3. Account information

If you create a LINKEDROP account, we may store:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your profile image (if you provide one)
  • Credentials and authentication information required to sign you in

We do not state here how passwords are stored unless this is confirmed by the actual implementation.

4. Media URLs you submit

When you submit a media URL in LINKEDROP, our backend server processes that URL to identify available media formats. The URL and related processing information may be stored on the server to provide the service, prevent abuse, and maintain your download history.

The actual media file you download is saved on your own device. The server may process and temporarily stream media during download. Temporary server-side processing files are cleaned up when processing is complete where applicable.

5. Download history

LINKEDROP may keep a history of your downloads in your account. Depending on the download, history entries may include:

  • Original URL and platform
  • Media type, title and thumbnail
  • File name, content type, file size and duration
  • Width and height
  • Download status and progress information
  • Local URI/path reference
  • Error information
  • Timestamps and related metadata

6. Connected social accounts

If you connect a supported social account or service, we may receive information from that provider, including:

  • Provider name and provider user ID
  • Name, email, username
  • Profile picture and profile URL
  • Authentication/access information, and refresh/access tokens
  • Token type and expiration information
  • Granted scopes
  • Other data returned by the integration

This information is used solely to operate the integration you enabled. We do not sell your personal information.

7. Device and technical information

LINKEDROP may collect basic technical information required for the app to function, such as app version, device type, operating system version, and diagnostic information. LINKEDROP does not track your location, and does not collect your contacts.

8. Device permissions

LINKEDROP may request permissions needed to save downloaded media to your device. Depending on your operating system version, these may include access to photos/videos, access to audio/media, and storage or file access. Permissions are requested only for app functionality, and you can manage them in your device settings.

9. Advertising and Google AdMob

The Android version of LINKEDROP uses Google AdMob to display ads. The app may show an interstitial advertisement during the download flow, currently designed to show once per Android app session before downloading. iOS behavior may differ.

Google AdMob and other third-party advertising services may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing Google's privacy policy for details.

10. How information is used

  • To provide, operate and maintain LINKEDROP
  • To authenticate users and manage accounts
  • To process submitted URLs and deliver downloads
  • To maintain download history in your account
  • To enable social integrations you choose to connect
  • To display advertisements (Android)
  • To detect abuse and protect the service
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations

11. How information is shared

We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared with:

  • Third-party services you explicitly connect (for example, social platforms you choose to link)
  • Third-party advertising services (Google AdMob on Android)
  • Service providers that support our infrastructure, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations
  • Authorities, when required by applicable law

We cannot claim that third-party services never receive data, since integrations and advertising inherently involve them.

12. Data retention

We retain information for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. When you delete your account, we delete associated account information, download history, and social connection records as described in Section 13.

13. Account deletion

You can delete your LINKEDROP account inside the app, or by requesting deletion through our Delete Account page. When your account is deleted, our backend is designed to delete:

Delete Account

  • Your LINKEDROP user account record
  • Associated download history
  • Associated social connection records

We cannot guarantee that deletion instantly removes data from every third-party service or from backup systems, since those systems are outside our direct control.

14. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. You can exercise these rights by using the in-app account controls or by contacting us at our support email.

15. Children's privacy

LINKEDROP is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us.

16. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by LINKEDROP. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We do not make claims such as "military-grade encryption" unless such mechanisms are actually implemented and verified.

17. International processing

Depending on where you use LINKEDROP and where our infrastructure and service providers operate, your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We take reasonable steps to ensure information is handled as described in this policy.

18. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of LINKEDROP after changes means you accept the updated policy.
