Bookmark Intelligence

Privacy and permissions

Local by default.

Bookmark Intelligence sends bookmark events to the Native Messaging agent installed on your computer. The browser extension does not send bookmark data to a developer-operated remote service.

Data handling

What the extension handles

The extension may read bookmark titles, URLs, folder identifiers, event types, and a local extension profile identifier. It uses these values only to provide bookmark capture and Obsidian summary functionality.

The local agent may fetch webpage text or YouTube metadata and captions when processing is requested. It does not download or store YouTube video files. Final notes contain compact summaries, not full webpages, videos, or raw transcripts.

SQLite queue state, activity logs, prompts, and provider connection settings are kept outside the Vault in the operating system application-data directory. API keys and access tokens are read from environment variables and are not stored by the extension, SQLite, or Markdown notes.
