Privacy Policy
Linkscope (com.linkscope.app)
Last updated: October 28, 2026
This policy explains what information Linkscope ("the app", "we", Omega-57) handles, why, and the choices you have. By using the app you agree to this policy.
No account, no personal details
The app has no sign-up or login. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts or precise location.
Checking a link
When you check a link, your phone does the work. To show you where a link goes and whether it looks safe, the app:
- Visits the link and every address it redirects to, and reads the start of the final page to show its title. These websites see a normal visit from your phone, like opening the link in a browser, but the app does not run the page or load its scripts.
- Looks up the website's domain name and the server's IP address in public internet registries (RDAP, through rdap.org) to find when the site was registered, who registered it and which country its server is in.
- If the dangerous-site check is turned on, sends the link addresses to Google Safe Browsing to see if they are reported as malware or phishing. Google handles this under the Google Privacy Policy.
We do not receive or store the links you check.
Opening protected short links
Some short links shared with you are protected and open after a few short ads. When you open one in the app, the app sends the link's short code to our link server. The server records the visit, including your IP address, the approximate country it comes from, your device type and the time, so it can count views, stop fake or automated visits and give you the final address.
When you check a link that could be one of these short links, the app also asks our link server which addresses it uses. That request does not include the link you are checking.
Scanning QR codes
QR codes are scanned with Google's code scanner, part of Google Play services. The camera image is processed on your phone by Google Play services and is not given to the app. The app only receives the text inside the code. The app itself does not have camera permission.
Clipboard
The app reads your clipboard only when you tap Paste or Check copied link, and only to fill in the link.
History on your phone
Your recent checks (up to 30) are saved on your phone so you can open them again. They are never uploaded. Tap Clear on the home screen to delete them, or uninstall the app.
Advertising
The app is free and shows ads provided by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. Ads are only requested when your device is online.
Any information used to show ads is collected and processed by Google, not by this app, under the Google Privacy Policy. To learn more, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Your choices
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before showing personalized ads, using Google's User Messaging Platform. You can change your choice at any time from the app's About screen under Privacy choices.
If you live in a US state with a consumer privacy law (such as California, Virginia, Colorado or Connecticut), you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for ads. Open the app's About screen, tap Privacy choices and select Don't sell or share my data.
You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your device settings under Settings > Google > Ads (or Settings > Privacy > Ads on some phones).
Data retention and deletion
Your check history stays on your phone until you clear it or uninstall the app. Visit records for protected short links are kept on our link server only as long as needed to count views and prevent abuse. To ask for records linked to your IP address to be deleted, email us at itzomega@proton.me.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Security
The app talks to our link server over an encrypted connection. Your history is stored in the app's private storage on your phone.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app changes. The new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
