Privacy Policy Bookmark Pulse Chrome Extension
Last updated: March 2026
Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how the Bookmark Pulse Chrome Extension ("the Extension") collects, uses, and stores data. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and to collecting only what is strictly necessary to provide the service.
1. What Data the Extension Collects
Data you actively provide:
- ·Email & Password used only to authenticate you with your Bookmark Pulse account. Your password is never stored locally on your device.
- ·Bookmark Data the URL, page title, your personal note, category, tags, and project you assign when saving a bookmark.
Data collected automatically when you save a bookmark:
- ·Page URL the address of the page being saved
- ·Page title meta tag
- ·Page description meta name description
- ·Thumbnail image URL meta tag
- ·Detected platform based on the URL hostname
Data we do NOT collect:
- ·Your full browsing history
- ·The text content of web pages you visit
- ·Cookies, form data, or passwords on any website
- ·Any data from pages where you do not actively trigger a save
Personal information beyond what you voluntarily provide when saving a bookmark
2. How Your Data Is Used
Data collected by the Extension is used exclusively to:
- ·Authenticate you with your Bookmark Pulse account
- ·Save your bookmarks to your personal account
- ·Display your recent bookmarks in the popup
- ·Check for duplicate bookmarks before saving
- ·Detect which platform a bookmark originates from for display purposes
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, marketing, or any purpose other than providing the Bookmark Pulse service to you.
3. Data Storage
Local storage (on your device):
The Extension stores the following in Chrome's API:
- ·Your authentication token (JWT) so you stay signed in between sessions
- ·A temporary URL deduplication cache a list of recently saved URLs with timestamps, automatically cleared after 5 minutes. Used only to prevent saving the same page twice in quick succession.
No other data is stored locally. This local data is never transmitted to any third party.
Remote storage (your account):
Your bookmarks, categories, tags, and account details are stored on the Bookmark Pulse server associated with your account. You have full control over this data through the web app.
4. Data Sharing Policy
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with any third parties. Data is transmitted only between:
- ·Your browser (the Extension) and the Bookmark Pulse API server, over HTTPS
We do not use any third-party analytics, advertising networks, or tracking services within the Extension.
5. User Rights
You have the right to:
- ·Access all data associated with your account through the Bookmark Pulse web app
- ·Delete any bookmark, category, tag, or project at any time through the web app
- ·Export your bookmarks in JSON, CSV, or Markdown format from the web app
- ·Delete your account entirely, which removes all stored data from our servers
- ·Sign out of the Extension at any time, which clears your authentication token from local storage
6. Security
All data transmitted between the Extension and the Bookmark Pulse API is sent over HTTPS. Authentication uses industry-standard JWT (JSON Web Tokens) with server-side token revocation on logout meaning signing out immediately invalidates your session on the server, not just locally.
7. Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the version number in the Chrome Web Store listing and post the updated policy. Continued use of the Extension after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
