Orbit Marks — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-19

Orbit Marks, developed by V-Vyn, displays and organizes your Chrome bookmarks on your new tab page. The extension processes the information described below on your device. The developer does not receive, sell or share it. There is no account, analytics, advertising or hosted processing service.

Information used and its purpose

• Bookmarks: titles, URLs, folder structure and bookmark metadata are read to show your collection. Create, edit, move, delete, paste, undo and recovery commands can change your actual Chrome bookmarks.
• Local app data: layout, pins, links, favorites, notes, tags, colors, settings and onboarding progress are saved in chrome.storage.local to remember your workspace.
• Opening statistics: the extension saves a count and last-opened time when you open a bookmark through Orbit Marks. These values control dot size and labels. It does not request the history permission or read your general Chrome browsing history.
• Backups: local snapshots contain bookmark titles, URLs and folder structure. A snapshot is saved before bookmark write commands. The default retention is three snapshots, configurable in Settings.
• Clipboard: Copy/Cut keeps selected bookmark subtrees in memory in the current tab and attempts to write their URLs to your system clipboard. Paste uses that internal buffer; when it is empty, Paste may read a URL from the system clipboard. Clipboard access happens only after your explicit command. Chrome may ask for clipboard access. The developer does not receive clipboard content.
• Undo: up to 20 action snapshots are kept in memory in the current tab. Reloading or closing that tab clears this history and the internal bookmark clipboard.
• Favicons: icons for your own bookmarks are requested through Chrome's built-in extension favicon endpoint. Demo icons, scripts and fonts are bundled with the extension. Orbit Marks does not send bookmark URLs to a third-party favicon provider.

Where information goes

The extension does not upload your bookmarks, notes, opening statistics, clipboard or backups to the developer or any analytics service. It does not load remotely hosted executable code.

Opening a bookmark or an external link visits that site in your browser. That site receives the usual browser request and applies its own privacy policy. Chrome's own bookmark sync, browser profile backup and operating-system clipboard sync are controlled by your browser and system settings, not by Orbit Marks.

Retention, export and removal

App data stays in your local browser profile until you reset it or uninstall the extension. Reset app state clears layout, notes, tags, opening statistics and preferences; it intentionally keeps bookmark backups. Uninstalling removes extension-owned local storage. It does not undo changes already made to Chrome bookmarks.

Settings can export and import bookmark backup JSON files. Exported files contain bookmark information and remain wherever you save them until you delete them. They are not password-protected by Orbit Marks. The extension does not upload these files.

The demo uses sample data in memory and does not edit your real bookmark collection. Reloading the demo restores its bundled preset.

Data use commitments

Information is used only to provide the bookmark organization features described above. It is not sold, used for advertising, used for unrelated purposes, or used for creditworthiness or lending decisions.

Contact and changes

Contact the developer by email: vova.vinog+orbitmarks@gmail.com.

Any future change that introduces remote processing will be disclosed before it is enabled. This policy will be updated to reflect changes in the extension.
