Privacy Policy

This website runs LinkShelf and is operated by the instance owner named in the Imprint, who is responsible for your data. The LinkShelf project does not receive any data from this instance.

Data we store

Account: first and last name, email address, username and a hashed password. If you sign in with an external provider (single sign-on), we store the provider's user ID instead of a password.
Content: your shelves, sections, links and themes.
Technical: login tokens and one-time tokens for email verification, password reset and invitations.

You can view shelves without an account. LinkShelf does not set cookies. Depending on how this instance is hosted, the server may log standard request data such as your IP address and browser for security and troubleshooting.

Browser storage

When you sign in, your login tokens are stored in your browser's local storage so you stay signed in. They are removed when you sign out.

Emails

We only send emails that are needed for your account, such as email verification, password reset and invitations.

Your data is not sold. It is only shared where needed to run the service, for example with the hosting provider, the email provider or your single sign-on provider.

Your rights

Your data is kept as long as your account exists. To access, correct or delete your data, contact the instance owner.

Analytics

This website may use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics tool, if enabled by the site operator. Plausible does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. See the Plausible data policy for details.
