Privacy policy
Last updated: October 20, 2026
LinkHub is an independent app for finding public Telegram groups. This page explains what data the app uses and why. LinkHub is not affiliated with Telegram, WhatsApp or Discord.
No account, no sign-up
You don't need an account. The app doesn't ask for your name, email, phone number, contacts, location, or access to photos or files.
What stays on your device
Theme, language, favorites and hidden communities are saved only on your device (and in your Android backup, if you use it). They are deleted when you clear the app's data or uninstall it.
What reaches our server
- To show the catalog, the app queries our server (lists, searches, categories and details). These requests are not linked to a person or an account.
- Server logs keep only the request type, the page path, the result and the response time. We don't store your IP address or the text of your searches.
- A report stores only the community, the chosen reason and the date. To prevent abuse, your IP address is used for up to one hour, only in the server's memory, to limit how many reports can be sent.
- TXT lists are generated on the fly and saved wherever you choose; they are not kept on the server.
Ads (Google AdMob)
The app is free and shows ads from Google AdMob, always labeled as "Ad". To show and measure ads, Google's SDK may collect data such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, device information and ad interactions. This data is handled by Google under Google's rules for partner apps.
In the European Union, the United Kingdom and wherever the law requires it, the app asks for your consent first, and you can review your choice in Settings > Ad privacy. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings.
External links
When you open a community, you leave LinkHub for Telegram or your browser. From then on, their policies apply, such as Telegram's privacy policy.
Sharing
We don't sell data. Apart from what is described about ads, we don't share data with third parties.
Children
LinkHub is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
Your rights
Since our server doesn't keep data that identifies you, control stays on your device: clearing the app's data erases everything it saved. For ads, use the options above. For any request under the GDPR, LGPD or other data protection laws, contact us.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published here with an updated date.
