I share your concerns about user privacy. The information LinkLonk collects is what you explicitly provide (ratings, etc) and the regular server request logs (which include your ip address, user agent). I clarified this in https://linklonk.com/privacy

I do want to add functionality to download your ratings. I'm thinking of exporting the ratings data in either the bookmarks format (ie, the format that browsers use to export bookmarks: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1319392), csv or json. Please let me know what format would be most useful.

Yeah, that's great now. (You're collecting even less than I expected!) Thanks for making LinkLonk.

JSON would probably be easiest to start with, because it's easy to generate, easy to read and well-defined. Bookmarks would be a nice extra, though.
