Privacy Policy
The app does not send your links, or anything else, to Aalixer. It has no accounts, no analytics and no advertising, and Aalixer operates no server that it talks to.
The short version
- Aalixer collects no personal data through the app.
- Links you clean are processed on your device and are not recorded or transmitted to us.
- Your settings stay in the app's own private storage on your device.
- The app makes network requests in one situation only, described below, and those go to the link's own website - never to Aalixer.
What the app stores on your device
The app saves your switch settings - whether to follow forwarding links, whether to follow generic shorteners, whether to keep timestamps, whether to keep playlist context, whether to copy automatically, and whether to skip the preview - in Android's private storage for the app. That storage is readable only by the app. Uninstalling the app removes it.
The app does not keep a history of the links you clean.
When Copy automatically is on, the cleaned link is placed on your device's clipboard so you can paste it. The clipboard is provided by Android and is shared with the rest of your device; the app does not read it back.
The one network request
Some links do not contain their destination. A tiktok.com/t/, fb.watch,
fb.me, facebook.com/share/, instagram.com/share/ or
ig.me address is a forwarding code that the platform can resolve, and it is often
issued to the person who shared it. To turn one of these into the plain address of the post, the
app has to ask the platform where it points.
When - and only when - the Follow forwarding links setting is on and you clean a
link on that list, the app makes a request to that platform. The same applies to the
Follow generic shorteners setting for addresses such as bit.ly,
t.co and redd.it.
That request:
- goes to the platform that issued the link, not to Aalixer;
- carries no cookies and no stored session, so it is not associated with any account of yours by the app;
- sends no
Refererheader and uses no cache; - is an ordinary web request, so the platform receives your IP address and the technical details any web request carries.
Switch both settings off and the app makes no network requests at all. Links of that kind are then passed through unchanged and marked as unresolved.
Aalixer has no access to those requests and receives nothing from them. What the platform does with a request to its own servers is governed by that platform's privacy policy, not this one.
What Aalixer receives
Nothing from the app. Aalixer LLC does not operate a server, an API or an account system for this app, and the app contains no analytics library, no advertising library and no crash-reporting library.
Separately from the app, Google Play gives Aalixer the aggregate and anonymised statistics it gives every developer - such as install counts, country-level totals, ratings, and crash reports generated by Android where you have chosen to send them. That data comes from Google, is handled under Google's Privacy Policy. Aalixer does not receive your identity through it.
Permissions
| Permission | Why the app declares it |
|---|---|
android.permission.INTERNET | The only permission the app declares. Used solely to follow a forwarding code or shortener far enough to learn the address it points at, as described above. |
The app requests no location, no contacts, no camera, no microphone, no storage and no accessibility access.
Children
The app is not directed to children and Aalixer does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Because the app collects nothing, there is nothing for Aalixer to delete on request.
Your rights
Privacy laws in your country may give you rights to access, correct, export or delete personal data a company holds about you. Aalixer holds no personal data collected through this app, so there is no such data to give you or erase. If you believe otherwise, you can write to the address below.
Changes to this policy
If the app changes in a way that affects this policy, the updated policy will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
