Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 15, 2026

Privacy-First by Design

We do not track your browsing history. Your data stays on your device by default. If you choose to sync via WebDAV or P2P, data transmission is controlled entirely by your own infrastructure — we never see your data in transit.

1. Data We Collect

Linxy Tab is designed to minimize data collection. Here is what we do and do not collect:

What We DO NOT Collect

  • ✕ Browsing history
  • ✕ Website content or URLs you visit
  • ✕ Personal identification information
  • ✕ Location data
  • ✕ Usage analytics or tracking cookies

What We DO Collect

  • ✓ License key and device ID (for Pro activation)
  • ✓ Email address (provided during purchase via Paddle)
  • ✓ DAU statistics (anonymized device ID + Pro status)

2. Local Data Storage

All your bookmarks, notes, to-dos, and other card content are stored locally in your browser's Chrome Storage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly enable sync.

We have no access to your locally stored data and cannot recover it if you clear your browser data. We recommend using the built-in export feature or enabling cloud sync for backup.

3. Cloud Sync (WebDAV / P2P)

If you choose to use cloud sync, your data is transmitted through infrastructure you control:

  • WebDAV Sync: Data is sent directly between your browser and your own WebDAV server (e.g., Synology, QNAP, Nutstore). We do not host, relay, or have access to your WebDAV server or the data stored on it.
  • P2P Sync (PeerJS): Data is transmitted directly between your browsers using WebRTC. PeerJS signaling servers are used only for initial connection setup — they do not see your encrypted data payload.

In both cases, you are solely responsible for the security and availability of your sync infrastructure.

4. Payment Information

All payment information is securely processed by Paddle. We do not store or process your credit card details. Paddle acts as our Merchant of Record and handles all payment, tax, and compliance matters. For more information about how Paddle processes your data, please review Paddle's Privacy Policy.

5. License Verification

When you activate a Pro license, the Extension sends your license key and a device fingerprint to our verification server. This is used solely to:

  • Validate your license key
  • Enforce the device limit (up to 3 devices)
  • Check for expiration (annual licenses only)

A silent license check is performed once every 24 hours to ensure your license is still valid. If the check fails due to network issues, the Extension continues to function normally in offline tolerance mode.

6. DAU Statistics

We collect anonymized Daily Active User (DAU) statistics to understand general usage trends. This data includes only:

  • An anonymized device identifier (randomly generated, not linked to personal info)
  • Whether the device is on a Free or Pro plan
  • The Extension version

This data cannot be used to identify individual users or their browsing activity.

7. Third-Party Services

The Extension may integrate with third-party services that you configure:

  • AI Chat: If you use the AI chat feature, your prompts are sent directly to the AI provider you configure (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). We do not intercept or store these communications.
  • Webhook Cards: Webhook triggers are sent directly to URLs you specify. We have no access to the endpoints or the data sent.
  • RSS Feeds: RSS feed requests are made directly from your browser to the feed URLs you subscribe to.

Use of these third-party services is subject to their respective privacy policies.

8. Data Retention

  • Local data: Retained in your browser until you manually clear it or uninstall the Extension.
  • License data: Retained for the duration of your license plus 30 days after expiration.
  • DAU statistics: Aggregated and retained for up to 90 days.
  • Payment records: Retained by Paddle in accordance with their data retention policies.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict processing of your data
  • Data portability

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@linxytab.com.

10. Children's Privacy

The Extension is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
