Bookmark Vault — Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026 · v1.1.0
Hey! I'm the solo developer behind Bookmark Vault. I built this extension for myself and decided to share it — so I want to be upfront about exactly how it handles your data. Short answer: it doesn't collect any.
What I Collect
Nothing. I have no server, no database, and no way to see your data even if I wanted to.
What Gets Stored on Your Device
Your bookmarks (title + URL)
Your folder names and structure
Your selected theme preference
All of this is saved using Chrome's built-in local storage (chrome.storage.local) — it stays on your device and never leaves it.
Permissions I Use
storage — to save your bookmarks and settings locally on your device
tabs — only used at the moment you click "Add Bookmark" to read the current tab's title and URL so the form fills in automatically. That's it. I don't track your browsing.
Third-Party Services
The only external request the extension makes is to Google's favicon service to show a small website icon next to each bookmark. Only the domain name (e.g., github.com) is sent — nothing personal, nothing identifiable.
What I Don't Do
No analytics or usage tracking
No crash reporting tools
No ads or ad networks
No selling or sharing of any data
No accounts or sign-ups
Your Data, Your Control
View and manage everything directly inside the extension
Export your full library anytime as a JSON file
Delete individual bookmarks, folders, or everything at once
Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data permanently
A Note on Data Loss
Because everything is local, I have no way to recover your data if you uninstall the extension or clear your browser storage. Please use the Export button regularly to keep a personal backup.
Children's Privacy
This extension doesn't collect data from anyone, including children. There's simply no mechanism to do so.
Changes
If I update this policy, I'll bump the date at the top and mention it in the extension's changelog.
Questions?
Reach me via the Support tab on the Chrome Web Store listing. I'm just one person but I do read everything.
