Docketfern privacy notice

Local data

Bookmarks remain in your browser's bookmark database. Settings, exclusions and persistent undo records are stored locally using storage.local. No accounts, analytics, advertisements or Zydeno server connections. Fonts and icons are bundled. Ordinary search, cleanup, editing, moving, undo and export make no website requests.

Optional link checking

Only after your command and site-access approval, Docketfern sends HEAD requests directly to the selected sites. Sites see your IP address and requested URL, including path and query. Browser and network infrastructure may process the requests. Cookies, credentials and referrer are omitted. Redirects are not followed; website code is not executed. Your collection is not sent to Zydeno. Temporary site permissions are removed after completion or stopping and on background startup after interruption. Denial leaves local features available. Obvious local and action addresses are skipped, but private DNS aliases cannot all be detected. Check only addresses you are comfortable contacting.

Permissions

bookmarks reads and changes the native tree. storage saves preferences and undo records. Optional HTTPS permissions are requested only for the origins listed before a manual check. Only HTTPS bookmarks are checked. HTTP bookmarks are skipped without changing or upgrading their addresses. In the Firefox edition, optional bookmarksInfo data-transmission consent is also requested with site access; no bookmark-data transmission is required for local features. Consent and site access are checked before each request. Withdrawing either stops checking and aborts active requests. Temporary site access and bookmark-data consent are removed after checking/stopping and at background startup after interruption. The Opera edition uses the explicit site-access approval and explanation in the extension; it has no data_collection API. HTTPS encrypts the connection to the destination. No history, cookies, tabs, downloads, scripting or mandatory all-sites access is requested. Opening a saved link is your explicit navigation and follows the destination site's policy.

Retention and your choices

The journal holds up to 20 batches within 8 MiB. Older completed records are removed when needed. It can retain titles and URLs of removed items while their undo record remains. Uninstalling removes extension settings and journal, but leaves native bookmarks. Your browser's synchronization and backups may copy those bookmarks independently; Docketfern does not control them.

Files and restoration

Exports contain your chosen titles, addresses and hierarchy. You control their storage and deletion. Restore adds a separate folder after review. Restored deletions receive new IDs and creation dates. Metadata unavailable through the API is not backed up.

Contact [email protected] with questions. Information voluntarily emailed is used to reply. Do not send private bookmark files unless you intend to share them.
