This Privacy Policy explains how Link Saver ("we," "our," or "the App"), developed by Fluxx365, handles information when you use our Android application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.
By using Link Saver, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the App.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Device
Link Saver stores the following data locally on your device to provide the App's core functionality:

2.2 Data Accessed from Third Parties
When you save a link, the App may connect to the target website to retrieve Open Graph metadata (such as the page title and thumbnail image URL). This data is fetched directly from the website and stored locally on your device.
2.3 Google Account Information
If you choose to use the Google Drive backup feature, the App will access your Google account email address and Google Drive storage solely for the purpose of backing up and restoring your data. This is entirely optional and initiated only by you.

We do not send any of your data to our servers. We do not use your data for advertising, analytics, or any purpose other than the App's core functionality.

5. Third-Party Data Sharing

6. App Permissions
Link Saver requests the following Android permissions:
