WhyMarked Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 8, 2026

Overview

WhyMarked (“the extension”) helps users save notes for webpages and automatically see those notes when they revisit the same page URL.

Data We Collect

WhyMarked stores note data in chrome.storage.local on the user’s device:

1. url (page URL)

2. title (page title)

3. note (user-entered note text)

4. createdAt (ISO timestamp)

5. updatedAt (ISO timestamp)

WhyMarked may read the active tab URL/title when the user opens the popup, and may read the current page URL where the content script runs to show saved notes for that page.

How We Use Data

Data is used only for the extension’s single purpose:

1. Save, display, edit, and delete notes for specific page URLs

2. Automatically show saved notes when the same page is revisited

3. Support note search and JSON export/import inside the extension

Data Sharing and Selling

1. We do not sell user data.

2. We do not transfer user data to third parties except as required by law.

3. We do not use user data for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness, or lending decisions.

Remote Code and External Services

1. WhyMarked does not execute remote code.

2. WhyMarked does not send note data to external servers.

3. WhyMarked does not require user accounts, sign-in, or cloud sync.

Data Retention and Deletion

1. Data remains in browser local storage until the user edits or deletes it.

2. Users can remove data by deleting notes in the popup or manager page, clearing extension data in Chrome settings, or uninstalling the extension.

Permissions Used

1. storage: store and retrieve notes locally

2. activeTab: read active tab URL/title when the user uses the popup

3. Host access via content script matches ["<all_urls>"]: detect the current page URL and show saved notes on web pages where the extension is allowed to run.

Children’s Privacy

WhyMarked is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published with a new effective date.
