# Privacy Policy — Links in Bucket

**Last updated:** March 31, 2026

## What this extension does

Links in Bucket is a Chrome extension that lets you save article links from newsletters into a local "bucket" and later paste them into any text field (e.g., NotebookLM).

## Data collection and storage

- **Saved URLs and link titles** are stored locally on your device using Chrome's `chrome.storage.local` API. This data never leaves your browser.
- **No personal information** is collected. The extension does not ask for or store your name, email address, account credentials, or any other personally identifiable information.

## Network requests

The extension makes outbound HTTP HEAD requests **only** to resolve redirect chains on URLs you explicitly save (e.g., to follow newsletter tracking redirects to the final article URL). These requests:

- Are initiated only when you right-click a link and select "Save to bucket"
- Do not transmit any personal data or browsing history
- Do not include cookies or authentication headers beyond what the browser attaches by default

## Third-party services

This extension does **not** use any analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, advertising, or other third-party services.

## Data sharing

Your data is never sold, transferred, or shared with any third party for any purpose.

## Data retention

Saved links remain in local storage until you remove them (via the popup or the "Dump from bucket" action). Uninstalling the extension deletes all stored data.

## Changes to this policy

If this policy is updated, the changes will be reflected in this document with an updated date.
