Your bookmarks stay in your browser.

Bookmark Radar reads and searches Chrome bookmarks on your device. We do not run a data server or upload, sell, or share your bookmarks, search terms, or usage records.

1. Data we process

To search your bookmarks, Bookmark Radar reads bookmark titles, URLs, folder paths, creation times, last-used times, and sync status made available by Chrome's bookmarks API. Search terms are used only for local matching.

2. How we use data

Bookmark data is indexed temporarily in the floating window or side panel to display search results, folders, and recent lists. A URL opens only when you select it. Bookmark Radar does not create, edit, move, or delete bookmarks.

3. Storage and transmission

The search index exists only in device memory while the floating window or side panel is open and is rebuilt from Chrome when needed. For the Recently opened list and the ability to remove entries from recent lists, the extension saves bookmark IDs, extension-open times, and removal markers in localStorage on this device. If you manually switch the interface language, it also saves your English or Chinese preference in localStorage on this device. It does not additionally save titles, URLs, or search terms. These records are not uploaded or synced by the extension. Bookmark Radar has no user account, analytics SDK, ad SDK, or developer-controlled data server.

4. Sites you choose to open

Selecting a bookmark opens its target website. When no bookmark matches, a search term is sent to Google only if you explicitly click “Search with Google.” Google's own privacy policy then applies. The Bookmark Radar developer does not receive that search term.

5. Permissions

bookmarks
Reads the current Chrome profile's bookmark tree for local search, folder browsing, and recent sorting. Chrome may describe this permission as “Read and change your bookmarks,” but Bookmark Radar does not call bookmark-writing APIs or request browser history access.
sidePanel
Displays the bookmark workspace in Chrome's side panel.
activeTab
Temporarily accesses the current ordinary webpage only after you invoke the extension, so it can display the floating window. The extension does not request persistent access to all websites.
scripting
Injects the floating window container into the current page. It does not read page text, passwords, form contents, or cookies, or change the page's business content.

6. Sharing and sale

We do not share or sell user data, use it for advertising or credit assessment, or allow people to access your bookmarks.

7. Chrome Web Store Limited Use

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

8. Your choices and policy changes

Use “×” to remove an entry from a recent list. This does not delete the bookmark or Chrome browsing history. Opening that bookmark again can return it to Recently opened. Close the floating window or side panel to stop processing, or uninstall the extension to remove extension-local data. Manage or delete bookmarks in Chrome itself. If this policy or our data practices change materially, we will update this page and our Chrome Web Store disclosures and obtain consent where required.

9. Contact

For privacy or support questions, use the Support option on Bookmark Radar's Chrome Web Store listing to contact the developer.
