LinkHub - URL & Bookmark Manager — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. Overview

LinkHub - URL & Bookmark Manager is designed with privacy as a top priority. It does not collect any personal data such as browsing history, page content, passwords, or user-identifiable information. The extension stores data locally on your device, with the exception of the anonymous usage analytics described in section 3.

2. What is stored locally

The following data is stored exclusively on your device using chrome.storage.local:

• Saved URLs, custom titles, categories/folders, descriptions, and tags
• Creation timestamps of your saved items
• An anonymous, randomly-generated client ID used for usage analytics
• Your analytics opt-out preference (ga4_opt_out)

Your saved bookmarks and link lists never leave your browser unless you explicitly export them as a JSON file to your local computer.

3. Anonymous usage analytics

LinkHub uses Google Analytics 4 (Measurement Protocol) to collect anonymous usage statistics that help improve the extension features and performance.

The following aggregate events may be sent to Google Analytics:

• extension_installed — fired once on first installation
• dashboard_opened — when the main dashboard is opened
• popup_opened — when the extension popup is opened
• popup_url_saved — when a page is saved via the 1-click popup

No personal data is collected. Tab URLs, page titles, browsing history, and any user-identifiable information are never included in these analytics events. Only an anonymous randomly-generated ID is used to distinguish sessions.

Google's privacy policy applies to data processed by Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Permissions

• storage — required to save your URLs, categories, tags, and user preferences locally on your device.
• activeTab / tabs — required to detect the active tab's URL and title when you use the 1-click popup save feature.
• host_permissions (<all_urls>) — required solely to fetch page metadata (Open Graph titles, descriptions, keywords) directly from websites you choose to save. No data is sent to external servers.

5. Third-party services

LinkHub uses Google Analytics 4 (via the Measurement Protocol) as the only third-party service. No advertising networks, tracking pixels, or other external services are used.
