Privacy Policy

LinkCapture

Last updated: July 10, 2026

LinkCapture is designed to work entirely on your device. We do not operate servers that collect, store, or process your personal data. This policy explains what the app accesses on your device and why.

Summary

No account, no sign-up. You can use LinkCapture without providing any personal information.
No data collection. We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share your bookmarks, images, or usage data.
No tracking or analytics. The app contains no advertising or third-party tracking SDKs.
Everything stays on your device. URL extraction, bookmarks, and saved thumbnails never leave your iPhone or iPad.

What the app accesses

Images and photos. When you choose an image from your photo library, take a photo, or paste from the clipboard, LinkCapture reads that image only to detect URLs within it, using Apple's on-device text recognition (the Vision framework). Image analysis happens locally; images are not uploaded anywhere.

Deleting a source photo. If you choose "Delete source image" after extracting a link, LinkCapture asks the system to delete that photo from your library. iOS shows its own confirmation before anything is removed. LinkCapture never deletes photos without your explicit choice.

Locally stored thumbnails. If a bookmark keeps a thumbnail, a small compressed copy is stored in the app's private Documents folder on your device. It is removed when you delete the bookmark.

Bookmarks. Your saved URLs, categories, and notes are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. They are included in your device and iCloud backups if you have backups enabled, and are otherwise not transmitted by the app.

Opening links

When you open a saved link, it opens in an in-app Safari view or your browser. From that point, the destination website's own privacy practices apply. LinkCapture does not track which links you open.

Purchases

Extraction packs are sold as in-app purchases processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. LinkCapture does not receive or store your payment information. Purchase handling is governed by Apple's terms and privacy policy.

Permissions you may be asked for

Photo Library — to select images for extraction and, if you choose, to delete a source photo.
Camera — to photograph content containing a link.

You can change these permissions at any time in the iOS Settings app.

Children's privacy

LinkCapture does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be provided with a new "Last updated" date.
