Privacy
Firelink has no account of its own, so there's nothing about you on our side to begin with. Everything the app works with sits on your device and comes from the stores you chose to link.
What stays on your device
- Your wishlist, alerts, price history, library, playtime and achievements. All of it lives in a local database on the device.
- The store sessions you create by signing in on each store's own page. Firelink never sees or stores your password. Your passkey stays with your browser or OS.
- Purchase receipts, if you add a mailbox. They are read from that mailbox on the device and go nowhere else.
What Firelink reads from each store, and what it writes back
| Store | Read | Written back |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | owned games, wishlist, play time, achievements | wishlist add and remove |
| PlayStation | played games, trophies, wishlist, artwork | wishlist add and remove |
| Xbox | played games, achievements, gamerscore, artwork | wishlist, on the way |
| GOG | owned games, wishlist, achievements | wishlist add and remove |
| Epic Games | owned games, play time | wishlist add and remove |
| Nintendo | play activity per game, eShop wishlist | wishlist, on the way |
A game only gets added to a store wishlist when you picked that store for that game. Firelink never writes anything to a store on its own.
Where prices come from
Prices come from the stores' public catalogues, and from IsThereAnyDeal for PC stores and key sellers. None of that needs an account. Stores change prices without notice, so the number in the app can lag behind the store page.
Sync between devices
Run Firelink on more than one device and your wishlist and alerts travel between them through sync.getfirelink.app, a small server we run on Cloudflare. It keeps only the wishlist rows and alert rows needed to keep your devices in step. It never holds store sessions, passwords, receipts or library data. On a single device, nothing is sent there at all.
Buying games
Firelink never takes payment. Open sends you to the store's own product page and you check out there with your own account.
