Our Commitment to Your Privacy
WidgetLink is an indie app developed by a solo developer who deeply cares about your privacy. This app is built with your privacy as the top priority. We believe in transparency and simplicity: we don't collect your personal data, we don't show ads, and we don't track your behavior.
What We DON'T Collect
- No personal information (name, email, phone number)
- No usage analytics or tracking
- No advertising identifiers
- No device information beyond what's necessary for the app to function
- No location data
- No third-party analytics (no Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics, or any tracking tools)
- No advertisements or ad networks
What We DO Store
To make WidgetLink work, we store only the bare essentials needed for the app's core functionality:
Anonymous User ID
When you first open the app, we create an anonymous account using Firebase Authentication. This gives you a unique identifier needed for the app to function, but it contains absolutely no personal information. No email, no password, no name — just a random ID.
Drawing Data
Your drawings are stored in Supabase Storage so they can be displayed as widgets and shared with your room members. These are only the images you create within the app.
Room Information
Room names, room codes, and member lists are stored in Firebase Firestore to enable the room sharing functionality. This is the minimum data required to connect users who want to share widgets.
Security & Privacy Features
Your security is built into how WidgetLink works:
Request-Based Access System
When someone enters a room code, they cannot automatically access your widget. Instead, a join request is sent to the room creator (host), who must manually approve it. This prevents unauthorized access even if someone randomly types in codes.
Room-Based Privacy
Drawings are only visible to members of the specific room. Your widgets aren't public and cannot be discovered by others unless you explicitly share your room code with them.
No Cross-Room Access
Members of one room cannot see or access drawings from other rooms. Each room is completely isolated.
Third-Party Services
WidgetLink uses the following third-party services solely for app functionality (not for tracking or advertising):
Firebase Authentication
Purpose: Creates anonymous user accounts for the app to function
Data Stored: Anonymous user ID only (no email, no password, no personal information)
Why We Use It: To give each user a unique identifier needed for room membership
Firebase Firestore
Purpose: Stores room data and manages join requests
Data Stored: Room names, room codes, anonymous member IDs, join request status
Why We Use It: To enable real-time syncing of room memberships and requests
Supabase Storage
Purpose: Stores widget drawing images
Data Stored: Image files of your drawings
Why We Use It: To store and serve widget images to room members
Important: We do NOT use Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics, or any other analytics services. We do NOT use advertising networks or SDKs.
Your Rights & Control
- Delete your data: You can request complete data deletion by following the process outlined below.
- Leave rooms: Exit any room at any time from the app dashboard.
- Control access: You decide who joins your rooms through the manual approval system.
- No account recovery: Since accounts are completely anonymous with no email or password, there is no account recovery process.

Data Retention
We retain data only as long as necessary for the app to function:
- Room data and drawings are kept as long as the room exists
- When all members leave a room, the room data may be periodically cleaned
- Anonymous user IDs are retained to maintain room memberships
- No historical usage data or logs are kept
Children's Privacy
WidgetLink does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children. The app is designed to be privacy-friendly for users of all ages. Since we don't collect personal information and only use anonymous IDs, we don't have age verification requirements.
International Users
WidgetLink can be used worldwide. Data is stored on Firebase (Google Cloud) and Supabase servers, which may be located in different countries. However, since we only store anonymous IDs and drawings (no personal data), there are no privacy concerns related to international data transfers.

As an indie project, we may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date at the top. Continued use of WidgetLink after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
