Browser Extension Privacy
We believe in transparency. Here's exactly what our browser extension can access, why it needs each permission, and how we protect your data.
Minimal Permissions
We only request permissions absolutely necessary for bookmarking
No Browsing Tracking
We don't track your browsing - only process pages you bookmark
You're in Control
Disable any permission or the entire extension anytime
This policy explains how our browser extension works, what permissions it needs, and why. We've designed it to be as privacy-friendly as possible while still providing powerful bookmark management.
The Short Version: We only access web pages when you actively bookmark them. We don't track your browsing, sell your data, or access information from other tabs or extensions.
