Privacy Policy
Pikamark has no accounts and no tracking — the only server it ever contacts is the licensing provider, to check a Pro key
- Licensing is the only network call. Pikamark contacts one server — the licensing provider Freemius — and only to activate or re-check a Pro license key. Everything else works offline, and all code and assets ship in the extension package. Without a Pro license, Pikamark makes no network requests at all
- No analytics or tracking. There is no telemetry, crash reporting, or usage tracking of any kind
- All data stays on-device. Bookmarks are read/written through the
chrome.bookmarksAPI; app settings (theme, layout, notes, favorites, etc.) are stored locally viachrome.storage.local. Nothing leaves your browser
The licensing check
When you activate Pro, or a stored license is re-checked (at most once a day), this is the whole exchange with Freemius:
- Freemius receives a random identifier created on your device, the license key you entered, and a short device label such as "Pikamark (Chrome)"
- Freemius never receives your email, your name, your bookmarks, notes or tags, your browsing history, or any usage data
Permissions
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
bookmarks | Read and write your Bookmarks Bar/Other/Mobile folders to render and edit the board |
favicon | Load site icons for bookmarks via the browser's built-in _favicon API (no third-party requests) |
storage | Persist app settings (theme, notes, favorites, layout) locally via chrome.storage.local |
tabs | Read your currently open tabs' titles/URLs only when you use "Save tabs as folder" |
search | Run a web search in a new tab, using your browser's own default search engine, when you submit the search box |
https://*.freemius.com/* | Activate and re-check a Pro license key. Not contacted unless you use a license |
My commitment
In line with extension store policies, Pikamark:
- Does not sell or transfer user data to third parties, outside of the approved use cases
- Does not use or transfer user data for purposes unrelated to the extension's single purpose of organizing your bookmarks
- Does not use or transfer user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes
