Linkora Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 9, 2026

Summary: Linkora creates link previews directly in your browser. It does not use analytics, advertising, tracking, or developer-operated servers. Preview requests do not include your browser cookies or a referrer. Destination websites, redirect destinations, and their image hosts may still receive your IP address, the requested URL, standard request information, and the time of the request as part of normal internet communication.

1. What Linkora does

Linkora is a browser extension for Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. It shows a preview after you hover over a supported public web link for the configured delay. To provide this feature, the extension requests the linked page and extracts limited preview information, such as its title, headings, description, paragraph text, favicon, preview image, domain, redirect destination, and estimated reading time.

2. Browser permissions

Linkora requests the following browser permissions:

Access to websites (<all_urls>): required because a link can point to any public HTTP or HTTPS website. This access lets Linkora detect supported links on webpages, identify the current site's hostname for site-specific controls, and request a hovered destination's public metadata and images. It is not used to collect or transmit the contents of the page you are currently viewing to the developer.
Storage: used to save extension preferences and privacy controls locally in your browser.

3. Information Linkora handles

Linkora may process the following information:

Hovered or selected link URLs: the URL of a link for which you request a preview.
Website content and resources: limited HTML from the linked page and, depending on your settings, its favicon or preview image.
Current website hostname: used locally for per-site enable, disable, and temporary-pause controls.
Extension preferences: settings such as hover delay, preview size, preferred title, description and image sources, blocked domains, and disabled sites.
Clipboard access: only when you explicitly press Copy URL. Linkora writes the selected link to your clipboard; it does not read existing clipboard contents.

4. How information is used

This information is used only to provide Linkora's user-facing link-preview feature, remember your preferences, apply your privacy controls, and perform actions you explicitly select. Linkora does not create a browsing-history profile and does not use the information for analytics, advertising, profiling, or sale.

5. Network requests and third parties

Preview requests are made directly from your browser to the link destination. If the destination redirects the request, each server involved in the redirect chain may receive the request. A destination page may reference a favicon or preview image on another host, such as a content delivery network; if enabled, Linkora may request that resource directly from that host.

These requests use credentials: "omit" and referrerPolicy: "no-referrer". This means Linkora does not attach your browser cookies or a referrer header. However, as with any internet request, the receiving website or resource host may receive your IP address, the requested URL, standard network information, and the time of the request. Those parties process information under their own privacy policies.

Linkora does not send preview data or settings to the Linkora developer or to a developer-operated server.

6. Storage and retention

Preferences, blocked domains, disabled sites, and temporary-pause expiration times are stored locally through chrome.storage.local.
Fetched previews are held temporarily in an in-memory cache. The cache is limited in size, expires entries after approximately 30 minutes, and is lost when the extension's background service-worker session ends.
Linkora does not maintain a permanent preview or browsing history and does not use browser sync storage.

You can remove stored preferences by changing or removing settings, removing blocked domains, uninstalling Linkora, or clearing the extension's stored data through your browser.

7. Sensitive and blocked websites

Linkora includes a built-in list of sensitive sign-in, email, payment, and banking domains that it will not intentionally fetch for previews. You can add other domains to your personal blocklist and disable Linkora globally, for the current site, or temporarily. No blocklist can identify every sensitive URL, so you should avoid requesting previews for private or secret links.

8. Data sharing, sale, and advertising

Linkora does not sell personal information. It does not share information with advertisers, data brokers, analytics providers, or the developer. The only network disclosure is the direct request necessary to retrieve the link preview from the destination website or a resource host selected by that page.

9. Security

Linkora limits downloaded HTML and image sizes, validates supported URLs and image formats, omits credentials and referrers, applies request timeouts, and blocks configured sensitive domains. No method of network communication or software storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

10. Children's privacy

Linkora is a general-purpose browser utility and is not directed to children. The developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Browser extension store requirements

Linkora's use of information received from Chrome APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Information is used only to provide or improve Linkora's single, user-facing purpose and is not used for personalized advertising, creditworthiness, lending, or unrelated profiling.

When distributed through Microsoft Edge Add-ons, Linkora also follows the applicable Microsoft Edge Add-ons policies. The extension's data practices are the same in supported Chromium-based browsers.

12. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when Linkora's functionality or legal obligations change. Material changes to data practices will be disclosed before the changed practices take effect. The effective date at the top identifies the latest revision.
