Privacy Policy
About this policy
Save Link Extension ("the extension") is a free, open source browser extension maintained by CDinhh. It lets you save links into categories and, if you choose to sign in with Google, sync them across browsers. This policy explains what data the extension handles, where that data goes and how you can remove it.
The developer does not operate a server for the extension and does not receive your links or your Google account data. You can check this in the source code.
Data the extension handles
| Data | Why | Where it is kept |
|---|---|---|
| Links and categories | The core feature. Includes URLs, descriptions, category names, descriptions and colors, done status and date added. | Your browser. If you sign in, also a Google Sheet in your Drive. |
| Current tab URL and title | Read only when you save a page from the right-click menu, or click + in the popup to add a link, which fills in the current page. Stored only if you save it. The extension does not read page contents or keep a browsing history. | Same as links. |
| Google account details | Your Google account ID, email, name and profile photo address show who is signed in and keep sync on the same account. | Your browser, until you sign out. The photo is loaded directly from Google. |
| Google access token | Authorizes requests to Google. It expires after about an hour. | Browser session storage, cleared when you sign out or close the browser. |
| Sync status | The sheet ID, its version and modification times, used to detect changes. | Your browser, until you remove the extension. |
| Display settings | Theme, language, transparency and blur of the popup. | Your browser only. Never synced or sent anywhere. |
Files you create with Export Data are saved to your device and are never uploaded by the extension.
Google user data
Signing in is optional. If you sign in, the extension asks Google for these permissions and uses them only as described:
openid,emailandprofile: to identify your account and show it in the popup.https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file: to create, find, read and update the spreadsheet named "Link Inventory Extension [Dont delete]", which stores your links. This permission does not give access to your other Drive files.
Your Google data is used only to provide sign-in and sync. It is not sold, not used for advertising, not used to determine creditworthiness and not used to train AI models. No person, including the developer, reads it, because it is never sent to the developer.
Limited Use. Save Link Extension's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
The use of information received from Google APIs will also adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Browser permissions
The extension asks the browser for the smallest set of permissions it needs. It has no access to the pages you visit unless you act on one.
| Permission | What it is used for |
|---|---|
storage | Keeps your links, categories, sync status and display settings in your browser. |
activeTab | Reads the address and title of the current tab, only when you save it from the right-click menu or click + in the popup. |
contextMenus | Adds "Save page to..." to the right-click menu. |
notifications | Confirms that a page was saved from the right-click menu. |
identity | Opens the optional Google sign-in window used for sync. |
Your control and deletion
- Edit or delete links: use the extension, or edit the sheet directly in Google Sheets.
- Stop syncing: click Sign out in the popup. Your links stay in the browser and your sheet stays in Drive.
- Delete cloud data: delete the sheet in Google Drive. The extension pauses sync and does not recreate the sheet unless you click Sync.
- Delete browser data: remove the extension from your browser. This does not delete the sheet in Drive.
- Revoke access: remove the extension's access on your Google Account connections page.
Because the developer holds none of your data, there is nothing on the developer's side to delete.
Security
Requests to Google use HTTPS and Google's standard OAuth sign-in. The extension never sees your Google password. The sheet is created private to your account and stays that way unless you share it. Data stored in your browser is only as protected as your device, so keep your device and Google Account secure.
Children
The extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Earlier versions are available in the project's GitHub history. If the extension ever needs to use your data in a new way, your consent will be requested first.
