There is no gitmarks server. No backend, no database, no analytics — we never receive your data. Your bookmarks live in a GitHub repository you own and control, your token and settings stay on your device, and the extension talks to only one network host: api.github.com.
gitmarks is a serverless browser extension and web app for syncing your bookmarks to your own private GitHub repository. This policy explains what data it handles and where that data goes.
| Data | Where it's stored | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
Your bookmarks (bookmarks.json, tags.json) | Your private GitHub repo | You (and GitHub, as your repo host) |
| Your GitHub personal access token (PAT) | Locally — chrome.storage.local (extension) / localStorage (web app) | Anyone with access to your unlocked browser profile |
| Settings (repo owner/name/branch, options) | Locally, same as above | Same as above |
| Bookmark/tab URLs and titles | Read from your browser, written to your repo | You |
gitmarks does not collect, transmit to the developer, sell, or share any of this data. It is never sent anywhere except the GitHub API, on your behalf, authenticated with your own token.
storage — save your settings and a local id map on your device.bookmarks — read and write your browser's native bookmark tree to keep it in sync with your repo.alarms — schedule a periodic (5-minute) check for remote changes.activeTab — read the current tab's URL and title when you click "Save this page".tabs (optional, requested only when you click "Save all tabs") — read the URLs and titles of the open tabs in the current window so they can be saved together. Not requested at install time.api.github.com — read and write your bookmark files in your repo.The only third party involved is GitHub, because your bookmarks are stored in your GitHub repository and all requests go to the GitHub API. Your use of GitHub is governed by GitHub's Privacy Statement. gitmarks uses no analytics, advertising, tracking, or other third-party services.
gitmarks is a developer tool and is not directed to children under 13.
