Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the AI Bookmark Organizer browser extension ("we", "us", or "our") handles your information.

1. Data Collection and Usage

We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any of your personal data.

The extension operates with a strict "Privacy First" architecture:

• Local Processing: All bookmark analysis, folder generation, and sorting logic runs locally within your browser's memory.
• Zero-Token Offline Mode: When using the "Sort by Date Added (Flat List)" mode without AI title cleanup, no network calls are dispatched and no data leaves your machine.
• No Telemetry or Remote Storage: We do not operate servers, databases, user accounts, or analytics trackers. Your bookmarks and browsing history are never transmitted to us.

2. Third-Party Services (AI)

When you choose to run AI-powered organization or title cleanup, the extension communicates directly from your browser to either the Google Gemini API (via Google AI Studio) or the OpenRouter API, depending on the API key you provide.

• Direct Client-to-Provider Connection: Your API Key and bookmark titles/URLs are transmitted directly from your client to Google Gemini (generativelanguage.googleapis.com) or OpenRouter (openrouter.ai). They never pass through any intermediary server.
• Ephemeral Processing: Transmitted bookmark data is processed solely to generate categories and clean titles during the active session and is not retained by this extension.
• Provider Policies: Please review Google's Privacy Policy and OpenRouter's Privacy Policy to understand their respective data handling terms.

3. Permissions Justification

The extension requests only the minimum permissions necessary to function:

• bookmarks: To read your existing bookmark collection and write organized folders or chronological lists back into Chrome. This is the core functionality.
• storage: To persist your user preferences (such as chosen model, custom category lists, and API key) locally in your browser's LevelDB storage. This data never leaves your device.
• downloads: To export your organized bookmarks as a standard Netscape HTML file when using file upload mode.
• sidePanel: To render the extension's user interface seamlessly in the Chrome side panel.
• Host permissions (https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/*, https://openrouter.ai/*): To transmit bookmark titles directly to Google Gemini or OpenRouter for AI schema design and classification. Scoped exclusively to these two AI provider endpoints.

4. Remote Code

This extension does not load or execute any remote code or external scripts. All code is statically bundled within the extension package reviewed by the Chrome Web Store.
