Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 31, 2026
Mark My Tabs does not collect, sell, share, or transmit personal data. Bookmark information and preferences are processed locally in the user's Chrome browser only to provide the extension's bookmark-management features.
Information handled by the extension
Mark My Tabs accesses the following information only as required for its functionality:
- Chrome bookmark titles, URLs, folder names, folder structure, and bookmark dates.
- The active tab's title and URL when the user explicitly saves or removes that page.
- Favicons already available through Chrome for displaying bookmark icons.
- Local preferences such as language, theme, view settings, expanded folders, and the last selected save folder.
- Temporary tab or window identifiers used to avoid opening duplicate extension pages.
How information is used
This information is used exclusively to let the user view, search, create, edit, organize, open, and delete their own Chrome bookmarks and to remember extension preferences. It is not used for advertising, profiling, analytics, credit decisions, or any unrelated purpose.
Storage and transmission
All bookmark operations take place through Chrome's built-in bookmarks API. Preferences are stored locally in the browser using Chrome extension storage or local storage. Mark My Tabs has no backend, external database, analytics service, advertising service, or user account system. The developer does not receive this information.
Sharing and sale of data
Mark My Tabs does not sell, rent, disclose, or transfer user data to third parties. The extension does not load remote code and does not communicate with developer-controlled servers.
Data retention and control
Bookmarks remain in the user's Chrome profile until the user edits or deletes them. Local extension preferences remain in the browser until they are cleared or the extension is uninstalled. Temporary session identifiers expire with the browser session. Users can manage their bookmarks at any time through Mark My Tabs or Chrome's bookmark tools.
Permissions
- bookmarks: read and manage the user's Chrome bookmarks.
- activeTab: access the current page's title and URL only after the user invokes the extension.
- favicon: display bookmark favicons through Chrome's built-in favicon service.
- storage: remember extension preferences and temporary extension state.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the effective date above will be updated. Any material change to how user data is handled will also be reflected in the Chrome Web Store listing.
