SavedLink Privacy Policy
Overview
SavedLink is a local-first browser extension. It helps you keep a private copy of LinkedIn post links and light metadata in your browser, with tagging, search, and export. It does not require a developer-operated server for core features.
Data we process
- LinkedIn post metadata you save or import (links, URNs, visible author or text when the page exposes it)
- User-defined tags and tag descriptions from settings
- Extension settings (predefined tags, UI preferences, optional Gemini API key if you save one)
Where data is stored
- chrome.storage.local: archive records, post metadata, tags on posts, optional Gemini API key, and related local state
- chrome.storage.sync: lightweight settings such as predefined tag definitions (when Chrome sync is enabled for extensions)
Data sharing and third parties
SavedLink does not sell user data. It does not send your archive to a developer-owned backend for core functionality.
Optional AI auto-tagging (Google Gemini)
If you add a Google AI (Gemini) API key in SavedLink settings and run auto-tag, SavedLink sends only what is needed for that action to Google’s Generative Language API (for example post excerpts, author labels, and your predefined tag names and descriptions) so the model can suggest tags. Processing happens on Google’s infrastructure, under your API key and Google’s terms.
You can remove the key at any time in settings. If you do not add a key, no archive content is sent to Gemini.
Google API — Limited Use
The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Permissions
- storage
- Save your archive, tags on posts, and local settings in the browser.
- unlimitedStorage
- Allow a larger local archive without hitting default storage quotas.
- downloads
- Save JSON and CSV exports that you trigger from the Dashboard.
- offscreen
- Create blob URLs for export in Manifest V3 (the service worker cannot use URL.createObjectURL).
- tabs
- Open or focus SavedLink Dashboard and Help tabs from the toolbar popup (or in-app links), reusing an existing tab when possible.
- https://www.linkedin.com/*
- Run content scripts only on LinkedIn to show the SavedLink panel and build your local archive.
- https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/*
- Call the Google Gemini API only when you add your own API key and run optional auto-tag.
Your control
- Remove the extension and clear its data using Chrome’s extension settings
- Export a copy of your archive (JSON or CSV) from the dashboard
- Stop using AI features by removing your Gemini API key in settings
Security
SavedLink follows a least-privilege approach: permissions match the features above, and core archive data stays in the browser unless you explicitly use optional cloud APIs (Gemini) under your own key.
