BucketLinksChrome Extension

Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 21, 2026  ยท  Effective date: April 21, 2026

Plain-English Summary: BucketLinks stores your saved product data only on your own device using Chrome's local storage. We do not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. We do not have servers, accounts, or analytics. Everything stays on your browser.

1. Who We Are

BucketLinks ("we", "our", "the extension") is a Chrome browser extension that allows users to save product listings and web links from online shopping sites and any website into organised, visual "buckets". The extension is developed and maintained independently.

Contact: support@bucketlinks.app

2. Single Purpose Declaration

BucketLinks has a single, clearly defined purpose:

To allow users to save, organise, and recall product listings and web links from any website into personalised visual buckets stored locally in their browser.

All features of the extension โ€” the floating save button, the popup, the dashboard, the product scraper, and bucket management โ€” exist solely to support this core purpose. The extension does not perform any function unrelated to saving and organising links and product data for the user's personal reference.

3. Data We Collect and How It Is Used

BucketLinks does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information to external servers. All data is stored exclusively on your own device using Chrome's chrome.storage.local API.

Data Type What Is Stored Where It Goes Purpose
Product / Page Data Title, price, product image URL, source website domain, saved URL, timestamp Your device only (chrome.storage.local) Display saved items in your buckets
Bucket Configuration Bucket name, emoji, colour, creation date Your device only (chrome.storage.local) Organise your saved items
Purchase Status Boolean flag (purchased: true/false) per item Your device only (chrome.storage.local) Let you track what you've bought
Extension Settings View mode (grid/list), sort preference Your device only (chrome.storage.local) Remember your UI preferences

We do not collect: browsing history, personal identity information, payment information, authentication credentials, cookies, form data, or any data beyond what is explicitly described above.

4. Website Content Scraping (Product Data Extraction)

When you click the "Save" button on a supported website (such as major e-commerce platforms and other shopping sites), BucketLinks reads visible product information from the current page tab, specifically:

This data is read only when you explicitly initiate a save action by clicking the floating button or pressing Alt+B. The extension does not passively monitor, record, or transmit page content in the background.

All extracted data is saved directly to chrome.storage.local on your device and never sent anywhere else.

5. Permissions Justification

PermissionWhy It Is Required
storage To save your buckets and items to chrome.storage.local on your device.
activeTab To read product information from the currently active tab when you initiate a save.
scripting To inject the product scraper script into the active tab when you click "Save This Page" from the popup, enabling extraction of product data.
alarms Reserved for future price-drop alert functionality. Not currently in active use.
Host permissions (specific domains) To inject the floating save button UI on supported shopping sites and to read product data from those pages when you save.
tabs (via chrome.tabs.create) To open product URLs in a new tab when you click on a saved item in your dashboard.

6. Data Sharing and Third Parties

BucketLinks does not share, sell, rent, or transfer any user data to any third party under any circumstances. The extension has no backend server, no analytics service, no advertising network, and no data broker integrations.

The extension does not use Google Analytics, Firebase, Mixpanel, Segment, or any similar analytics or telemetry service.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

All data is stored locally on your device for as long as the extension is installed, or until you manually delete items and buckets within the extension's interface.

To delete all BucketLinks data:

8. Children's Privacy

BucketLinks is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children. As the extension stores no personal data at all, there is no specific risk to children's privacy.

9. Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's native chrome.storage.local API, it is subject to the security model of your Chrome browser and operating system. We do not transmit data over any network, so there is no risk of data interception in transit.

10. Limited Use Policy Compliance

Chrome Web Store Limited Use Compliance Statement:
The use of information received by BucketLinks adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. User data is used solely to provide the core product-saving and bucket organisation functionality. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond the single stated purpose of the extension.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, notify users via the Chrome Web Store listing update notes. Your continued use of the extension after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
