Privacy Policy
com.locallink · 1.0.0
This page describes how the LocalLink Android app behaves, based on the current implementation. It is not a substitute for legal advice. Operator identity below is a placeholder until the developer publishes a legal name.
Contact: see Support.
What LocalLink is
LocalLink (package com.locallink, version 1.0.0) turns an Android phone into a temporary file server on the local Wi‑Fi or the phone hotspot. A computer opens a local http:// address (or scans a QR code) and uses a browser UI served by the phone.
There is no LocalLink user account and no LocalLink cloud for storing your files.
What the app does not collect
The app does not provide sign-in, and it does not collect your name, email, phone number, payment card, contacts, precise location, or advertising ID as product features.
No advertising SDK and no product analytics SDK were found in the app.
Photos, videos, and files
Media and storage access exist so you can share photos, videos, music, and documents with computers you Allow on the local network.
Uploads from a computer are stored on the phone, including a public inbox at Download/LocalLink. That folder can remain after you uninstall the app.
Chat history can be stored on the phone (up to 500 messages) and is visible to allowed sessions on this network.
Devices you Allow
Each browser registers a random device id, a display name, a user agent, and a last LAN IP. Approval status is stored on the phone. A computer cannot browse files until you Allow it.
An optional PIN is stored on the phone. After Allow (and PIN if set), the browser may keep a local token for about 30 days.
Local network traffic
File transfer uses HTTP on the LAN, not HTTPS. PIN and Allow are access control, not encryption on the wire. On shared Wi‑Fi, set a PIN and Allow only computers you trust.
One-time share links on the LAN skip the PIN check. They exist only while the server is running, until they expire.
Stopping sharing tears down the HTTP listener, active transfers, and temporary links.
Crash reports (optional)
Crash reporting is off until you enable it in Settings. If you turn it on, crash data is sent to Sentry (ingest.us.sentry.io). How long Sentry keeps events is not configured in the app code; see Sentry’s own policy.
Android backup of app data is disabled (allowBackup is false).
Guest browser fonts
The page served on the LAN may load the Inter font from Google Fonts if that computer has internet. That request is made by the guest browser, not as a LocalLink cloud upload of your files.
This marketing website does not load Google Fonts.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13. Confirm this statement with the developer before treating it as a final legal position.
Who operates LocalLink
Until a legal name is published, LocalLink is offered by the developer of the Android app. Contact is through the Support page, or the email in site configuration if one is set.
