Privacy Policy for Pretty Links Effective Date: November 29,2024 Pretty Links respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how it interacts with your data. This privacy policy explains how the extension works and handles any user data. 1. Data Collection and Usage Pretty Links does not collect, store, or transmit any personal user data to external servers or third parties. All data processed by the extension remains local to your browser and device. The extension uses the Chrome Bookmarks API, a secure, built-in feature of the Chrome browser, to provide bookmarking functionality. Specifically: The extension reads bookmark information to display saved links in the extension interface. It allows users to add, edit, or organize bookmarks using Chrome’s native bookmark system. When saving a bookmark, the extension retrieves the URL and title of the currently active tab. This data is processed only to fulfill the user’s request and is not shared externally. 2. Permissions Pretty Links requires the following permissions to function properly: Bookmarks: Used to access and organize bookmarks through the Chrome Bookmarks API. Active Tab: Used to retrieve the URL and title of the current webpage when the user saves a bookmark. Storage: Used to store user preferences, such as folder customization and selected icons, locally on the user’s device. Context Menus: Allows the extension to provide a right-click option for saving bookmarks directly from the context menu. These permissions are strictly necessary for the extension’s functionality and are not used for any unrelated purposes. 3. Third-Party Data Sharing Pretty Links does not sell, transfer, or share any user data with third parties. All data remains on your device and is processed locally within the Chrome environment. 4. Security Since Pretty Links operates entirely within the Chrome browser using the Bookmarks API, it does not interact with external servers or databases. This ensures that all interactions with your bookmarks are secure and confined to your local device. 5. Changes to This Policy If we make changes to this privacy policy, they will be posted here. Any updates will reflect changes in the extension's functionality or privacy practices. Please review this policy periodically to stay informed. 6.
