Privacy Policy for Markly

 

MARKLY

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 14, 2026

Developed by Dhruv Savaliya  ·  © 2026 Markly

 

1. Overview

Markly is a Chrome browser extension that allows users to save, categorize, timestamp, and export website bookmarks. This Privacy Policy explains how Markly handles your data.

 

The short version: Markly collects no personal data, sends nothing to any server, and everything stays entirely on your own device.

 

2. Data We Do Not Collect

Markly does NOT collect, store, transmit, or share any of the following:

 

•        Personally identifiable information (name, email, address, etc.)

•        Browsing history or web activity beyond what you explicitly bookmark

•        Health, financial, or authentication information

•        Location data or IP addresses

•        Usage analytics or behavioral data

•        Crash reports or diagnostic data

•        Any data sent to external servers, APIs, or third parties

 

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

Markly uses Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.local API to save the following data exclusively on your device:

 

•        Bookmarked website URLs and page titles

•        Timestamps (date and time) of when each bookmark was saved

•        User-assigned categories and optional notes

•        Custom category names you create

•        Your dark/light theme preference

 

This data never leaves your device. It is not synced to any cloud service, server, or third-party system. It is stored only in your local Chrome browser storage.

 

4. Chrome Permissions Used

Markly requests only the minimum permissions necessary to function:

 

storage

Used to save your bookmarks, categories, and theme preference locally on your device using chrome.storage.local. No data is transmitted externally.

 

tabs

Used to read the title and URL of the currently active browser tab when you click the Markly extension icon. This allows the extension to pre-fill bookmark details. No tab history is recorded or stored beyond what you explicitly save.

 

activeTab

Used to access the URL and title of the tab you are currently viewing at the moment you interact with the extension. No background or passive tab monitoring occurs.

 

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

Markly does not share any data with third parties — because no data is ever collected in the first place.

 

There are no:

•        Analytics providers

•        Advertising networks

•        Cloud storage integrations

•        Remote servers or APIs

•        Third-party SDKs or tracking scripts

 

6. Children's Privacy

Markly does not knowingly collect any data from any user, including children under the age of 13. Since no personal data is collected at all, there is no special risk to minors.

 

7. Data Security

All data saved by Markly is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's native chrome.storage.local mechanism. The security of this data is governed by Chrome's own security model and your device's operating system security.

 

We recommend keeping your Chrome browser and operating system up to date to ensure the best security for all locally stored browser data.

 

8. Excel Export Feature

Markly allows you to export your bookmarks as a .xlsx (Excel) file. This export is generated entirely within your browser and saved directly to your device's local Downloads folder.

 

No data from the export is transmitted, uploaded, or shared with any external party.

 

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, the updated version will be published with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

 

Since Markly collects no personal data, any changes will primarily reflect updates to the extension's features or Chrome platform requirements.
