Privacy Policy

Overview

Bookmark Forge is designed with privacy as a priority. We process your URLs to fetch page titles and generate bookmark files, but we don't store your data on our servers.

Data Processing

When you submit a list of URLs:

• Your URLs are temporarily processed in memory to fetch page titles
• We make HTTP requests to the URLs you provide to extract titles
• The bookmark HTML file is generated and sent directly to your browser
• No URLs or bookmark data are stored in our database
• No personal information is collected during conversion

Analytics

We use PostHog for privacy-friendly analytics to understand how the application is used. This helps us improve the service.

Analytics data collected:

• Number of URLs converted (count only, not the actual URLs)
• Conversion success/error events
• Theme preference changes
• General usage patterns (page views, button clicks)

PostHog is configured with person_profiles: "identified_only", meaning we only track aggregate statistics and don't create individual user profiles.

Third-Party Requests

When you submit URLs for conversion, our server makes HTTP requests to those URLs to fetch page titles. These requests:

• Are made from our server (not your browser), so your IP address is not exposed to the target sites
• Use a generic Mozilla user agent
• Have a 10-second timeout to prevent hanging
• Support up to 10 concurrent requests to avoid overwhelming servers

Cookies and Local Storage

Bookmark Forge uses browser local storage to save your theme preference (light/dark/auto mode). This data:

• Is stored only in your browser
• Is never sent to our servers
• Can be cleared at any time through your browser settings

We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data:

• All connections use HTTPS encryption to prevent eavesdropping
• HTML content is properly escaped to prevent XSS attacks
• Request timeouts prevent resource exhaustion attacks
• URLs are validated before processing

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
