Privacy Policy

Deeplink Tester — App Links

Effective date: October 26, 2026

This privacy policy describes how Deeplink Tester ("the App", "we", "our") handles information when you use our Android application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The App stores the following data locally on your device only. This data is never transmitted to our servers.

• Links: URLs you test, save, import or group into collections, with timestamps and the app that opened them, to provide History, Saved and Collections.
• Templates and test suites: link templates you create and the collections you run as suites.
• App preferences: your settings, such as theme and launch options.
• Home-screen widget, shortcuts and Quick Settings tiles: these read your recent links on the device to show and re-open them.

You can delete all locally stored history at any time from the Settings screen.

1.2 Camera Access

The App requests camera permission solely for:

• Scanning QR codes and barcodes to extract URLs.
• Capturing text via OCR (optical character recognition) to detect URLs.

All camera processing happens entirely on your device using Google ML Kit's on-device models. No images, video, or camera data are transmitted to any server.

1.3 Network Requests You Start

• Redirect tracer: when you trace a link, the App requests that link and follows its redirects, contacting each host along the way, just as a browser would.
• App Links verifier: when you verify a domain, the App downloads that domain's public /.well-known/assetlinks.json file.
• Local network: the App asks for local network access only when you trace a link on a private address (for example a development server on your Wi-Fi).

These requests go directly from your device to the hosts you choose. Nothing is sent to us.

2. Third-Party Services

The App integrates the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

Service	Purpose	Data Collected	Privacy Policy
Google AdMob	Displaying advertisements	Advertising ID, device info, approximate location (for ad relevance)	Google Privacy Policy
Unity Ads (through AdMob mediation)	Displaying advertisements	Advertising ID, device info, approximate location, ad interactions	Unity Privacy Policy
Firebase Analytics	Understanding app usage patterns	Anonymous usage data, device type, OS version, session duration	Firebase Privacy
Firebase Crashlytics	Crash reporting and stability monitoring	Crash logs, device state, stack traces	Firebase Privacy
Google ML Kit	On-device barcode scanning and text recognition	None — all processing is on-device	ML Kit Terms

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your name, email address, or any personal identifiers.
• We do not collect or store the deeplinks or URLs you test.
• We do not collect photos, videos, or camera data.
• We do not have user accounts or sign-up flows.
• We do not sell any data to third parties.

4. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal data with any third parties. The only data that leaves your device is:

• Anonymous analytics data sent to Firebase Analytics (usage patterns, not personal information).
• Crash reports sent to Firebase Crashlytics (technical device and app state, not personal information).
• Advertising data processed by Google AdMob, and by Unity Ads through AdMob mediation, to serve ads.
• Requests you start in the Redirect tracer or App Links verifier, sent directly to the hosts you are checking (see 1.3).

5. Data Retention and Deletion

• Local data: Deeplink history and settings are stored on your device until you clear them via Settings or uninstall the App.
• Analytics data: Retained by Firebase according to Google's data retention policies.
• Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is a developer utility tool and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Security

All data is stored locally on your device in the App's private database and DataStore, which are sandboxed to the App. No data is transmitted to servers we operate.

8. Your Choices

• Camera permission: You can deny or revoke camera access at any time through Android Settings. The App will still function for manual deeplink testing.
• Ad personalization: You can opt out of personalized ads in your device's Google Settings under "Ads".
• Analytics: You can limit analytics collection through your device's Google Settings.
• Clear history: Use the "Clear All Recents" button in the App's Settings screen.
• Export data: Export your deeplink history as JSON or TXT from the History screen.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected with an updated effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
