Privacy policy
Bookmarks Manager does not collect or use user data.
No account, no server, no analytics, no telemetry, no error reporting. Nothing you browse, search or save is collected, sold or sent to the developer. That is the whole policy; the rest of this page is the detail behind it.
What the extension stores, and where
- There is no backend and no account. The extension has no server component, no analytics, no telemetry and no error reporting.
- Bookmarks live in the user's own
chrome.bookmarkstree, under a folder the extension creates. Settings and per-group color/collapse state live inchrome.storage.sync; the dark mode and accent color choice lives in the page'slocalStorage. Both stay in the user's own browser profile. - Nothing is transmitted to the developer.
Because your bookmarks are ordinary browser bookmarks, they sync through your own Chrome account like the rest of your bookmarks, and they remain in your browser if you uninstall the extension.
Requests the interface does make
None of these carry your data to the developer, and the extension requests no host permissions:
| Request | Why | What it reveals |
|---|---|---|
https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=… |
Renders each bookmark's site icon (bookmark.component.html). |
The domain of a displayed bookmark is sent to Google's favicon service. |
https://fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com |
Roboto and Material Icons web fonts (src/index.html). |
Standard font requests; no bookmark data. |
https://www.paypalobjects.com/…/btn_donateCC_LG.gif |
The donate button image inside the optional Donate dialog. | Only loaded when the user opens that dialog. |
https://discord.gg/… |
Community link in the Donate dialog — opened only if clicked. | Nothing until clicked. |
The PayPal donate SDK is bundled locally (src/scripts/donate-sdk.js), not
fetched at runtime — the extension's CSP is script-src 'self', so no remote code is executed.
Permissions, and what each one is for
bookmarks— the bookmark tree is the extension's only data store. It reads your bookmarks to display them, and creates, renames, moves and deletes them in direct response to your actions, all inside the one folder it owns.tabs— powers the Open Tabs panel: the titles, URLs and favicons of the tabs in the current window, so you can see them and drag them into a collection. It opens tabs when you open a bookmark, and closes just-imported tabs if you switch that setting on.tabGroups— reads a tab group's title and color so an imported group keeps its identity, and creates tab groups when you open a bookmark group back into the tab strip.storage— your own settings and layout state only: tutorial preference, the "Close imported tabs" setting, which collections are collapsed, which sidebars are open, the active organization, and each bookmark group's color and collapsed state. No browsing data is stored.
This website
This page has no cookies, no analytics and no third-party trackers. Nothing is loaded from another
domain unless you press play on the demo video, which then loads it from
youtube-nocookie.com. The web host keeps standard server access logs (IP address, page
and timestamp) as part of serving the site; they are not used to profile anyone and are not shared.
Children
The extension is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If the extension ever starts doing something this page does not describe, this page changes first and the date at the top changes with it.
Contact
Questions about any of this are welcome in the Discord community, which is also linked from inside the extension.
