Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

Overview

BookmarkScrub is designed with privacy as a core principle. We collect minimal data and process your bookmarks locally whenever possible.

Data We Process

Bookmark Data

When you use the AI categorization feature, bookmark URLs and titles may be sent to our AI service for processing. This data is:

  • Processed in real-time and not permanently stored
  • Transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections
  • Used only for generating category suggestions
  • Not shared with third parties for marketing purposes

License Information

If you purchase a premium license, we store your license key locally in your browser to validate your subscription status.

Data We Do Not Collect

  • We do not permanently store your bookmarks on any server
  • We do not track your browsing history
  • We do not collect personal information beyond what is necessary for payment processing
  • We do not use cookies for tracking purposes
  • We do not sell or share your data with advertisers

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • AI Service - For AI-powered categorization of bookmarks
  • Payment Processor - For secure payment processing

These services have their own privacy policies and handle data in compliance with applicable regulations.

Data Storage

All bookmark data, settings, and preferences are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers except when using specific features like AI categorization.

Security Scanning

The real-time security scanning feature operates entirely locally on your device. When you add a new bookmark, the extension analyzes it locally for potential security threats without sending data to external servers.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Export your data at any time via the extension's backup feature
  • Delete all extension data by uninstalling the extension or clearing browser data
  • Request information about any data we may have associated with your account
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes through the extension or via the website.
