Privacy
The short version: Desoto Labs collects no data about you. There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking, in the game or on this website.
Your courses
The courses you build are saved on your iPhone, inside the app. If iCloud is turned on, they are also synced through your own iCloud account so they appear on your other devices. That copy lives in your private iCloud storage under Apple’s terms, and Desoto Labs cannot see it. You can turn iCloud syncing off at any time in the game’s Settings.
Photos and videos
When you take a picture in photo mode, the game asks for permission to add it to your photo library. It can only add pictures; it never looks at the photos you already have. A recorded tour is handed to iOS’s own share sheet, and you decide where it goes.
Sharing
When you share a video or a course file, it goes through the app you pick (Messages, AirDrop, TikTok, Instagram or any other), under that app’s own terms and privacy policy. Nothing passes through Desoto Labs on the way.
If you post with #PocketLinks or mention us, your post is public on that service, and we may repost it with credit as the terms describe.
What we never collect
- No accounts or sign-in.
- No advertising, and no advertising identifiers.
- No analytics or tracking of our own.
- No location, contacts or other personal information.
Technical details
Some basic technical information can be sent by the platforms the game is built on, not by us. The game engine it is made with may send its maker anonymous details such as the device model and iOS version, and if you have chosen in your iPhone’s settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may pass us anonymous crash reports. This information does not identify you, and we never use it to track you or sell it to anyone. You can control Apple’s sharing in Settings, Privacy & Security, Analytics & Improvements.
Children
Pocket Links is suitable for all ages. Because it collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children.
This website
pocketlinks.app sets no cookies and runs no analytics or third-party scripts. It is hosted on GitHub Pages, which, like any web host, keeps standard server logs (such as IP addresses) to run and secure the service. See GitHub’s privacy statement.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and an important change will be announced on our social accounts before it takes effect.
