Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 20, 2026

Linked List is a small, independently run project. We care about your privacy and we're not in the business of selling your data. Here's the straightforward version of how we handle your information.

What We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your email address, username, and password (which is securely hashed — we never store it in plain text). When you use Linked List, we store the lists you create, the links you save, and your interactions like follows and upvotes. That's about it.

How We Use It

Your information is used to make Linked List work — showing your profile, displaying your lists, powering your feed, and sending you essential emails (like password resets and email verifications). We don't send marketing emails or sell your data to anyone.

Cookies

We use a session cookie to keep you logged in. That's it. No tracking cookies, no third-party analytics cookies, no advertising pixels. Just the one cookie that makes the "remember me" part work.

Third Parties

We don't share your personal information with third parties for their own purposes. We use standard infrastructure services (hosting, email delivery) to run the site, and they process data only as needed to provide those services.

Your Data

You can export your lists at any time from your account settings. If you want to delete your account and all associated data, contact us and we'll take care of it.

Changes

If we make meaningful changes to this policy, we'll update the date at the top of the page. For significant changes, we'll do our best to notify you via email.
