Privacy Policy – Bookmarks Search

Last updated: February 24, 2026

Overview

Bookmarks Search is a Chrome extension that provides fast, local search for your browser bookmarks. Your privacy is important — this extension is designed to work entirely offline and does not collect, transmit, or share any user data.

Data Collection

We do not collect any personal data. Specifically:

  • No personal information is collected
  • No browsing history is tracked
  • No analytics or telemetry data is sent
  • No cookies are used for tracking
  • No data is transmitted to external servers

Data Usage

All data used by this extension is stored locally on your device and never leaves your browser:

Data Purpose Storage
Bookmarks Searched locally to display results Cached in sessionStorage (auto-expires after 30 minutes)
Search queries Cached locally for faster repeat searches In-memory only (cleared when page closes)
Favicon images Display website icons next to results Cached in localStorage (auto-expires after 7 days)

Third-Party Services

The extension contacts the following external services only to load favicon (website icon) images:

  • external-content.duckduckgo.com
  • icon.horse
  • www.google.com/s2/favicons

No user data, bookmarks, or search queries are sent to these services — only the domain name of the bookmark is used to request its icon.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer any user data to third parties. No data ever leaves your device except the favicon requests described above.
