Privacy
The short version: your links live on your atmosphere account, not ours. Everything you save to a list is published to your PDS — the same account you use for Bluesky — which means it's public by design. Anyone can read it, and any app that speaks atmosphere can too. That's the whole point: your data is yours, and it's portable.
So treat anything you put in a list the way you'd treat a Bluesky post: public. There's no private mode, because there's no private store — it all lives on your account, out in the open.
No trackers. None.
We don't run analytics, advertising pixels, fingerprinting scripts, or third-party trackers of any kind. We don't sell or share your data, because we don't collect the kind of data you'd sell. There's nothing to opt out of.
What we actually store
Your links don't live in our database — they live on your account. But we do run a server, so here's everything that touches it:
- Login sessions — When you sign in, we store a session token so you stay logged in. Log out and it's gone.
- A cache of public lists — For the Explore page, we keep a copy of public lists so pages load fast. Delete a list and the copy goes too.
- Link preview metadata — When we fetch a link's title, description, and image, we cache it so pages load faster.
None of it is required to reach your links. If this site vanished tomorrow, your links would still be sitting on your account. Here's the code to fetch them yourself.
The browser extension
The LinkRing extension saves the page you're on to a list with one click. It reads the current tab's title and URL only when you click the button, sends it to linkring.lol to save to your account, and stores your login token locally in the browser. It doesn't read your browsing history, run in the background on other sites, or talk to anyone but LinkRing.
Questions?
This is a small project built by one person. If something here is unclear or you want a list or your account data removed, message me on Bluesky and I'll sort it out.
