Privacy, in plain English
Your bookmark data is not sent to our servers. Bookmarks stays local-first. The extension works with Chrome's own bookmark database and stores only local preferences and optional local helper data inside the browser.
What this policy covers
This page covers the Bookmarks Chrome extension itself. It explains what the extension reads, what it stores locally, and what it does not transmit.
What the extension uses locally on your device
- Chrome bookmarks data so the extension can search, create, edit, move, sort, import, export, and delete bookmarks and folders.
- Local preferences such as theme choice, sidebar width, sort preferences, link-display preferences, and edition behavior.
- Optional local helper data such as saved searches, recent opens, resume folders, and related local interaction signals that power Resurface and search ranking.
- Optional supporter-tier license data if you activate the supporter tier.
That data stays in the browser on your device. It is used only to make the visible bookmark-management features work.
What we do not collect or transmit
We do not collect, upload, sell, rent, or share your bookmark titles, URLs, folder structure, or bookmark metadata with our servers or third parties for analytics, advertising, profiling, or any unrelated purpose.
Network requests
The extension does not send bookmark data to our servers. It is designed to work locally. Chrome itself may request favicons from websites the same way the browser normally does so bookmark rows can display site icons, but that is not a custom developer backend and is not used to transmit your bookmark collection.
Permissions
bookmarks— required to read, search, create, edit, move, reorder, import, export, and delete bookmarks and folders.storage— used for local-only preferences, saved searches, supporter-tier activation, and Resurface helper data.
Supporter tier
The free product is the main product. If you choose the optional supporter tier, the extension may store a local license token after activation. That does not change the local-first bookmark handling described above.
What happens if you uninstall
Your bookmarks remain in Chrome because Chrome owns the bookmark database. Uninstalling the extension removes the extension behavior, but it does not delete the bookmark collection Chrome already stores.
Changes to this policy
If the privacy behavior of the product changes in a meaningful way, this page will be updated with a new date. The goal is to keep the policy as simple and specific as the product itself.
