Privacy policy

Last updated: May 1, 2026

Plain English summary

booooookmarks (b6k) is a bookmarks app. We collect what we need to make it work: your email, the bookmarks you save, the folders you put them in, and — if you upgrade — payment information through Stripe. We don’t sell your data, we don’t use it to target ads, and you can delete your account at any time to wipe it. That’s most of it. The rest of this page is the careful version.

Who we are

booooookmarks is operated by Nick Jones, based in California, USA. For privacy questions, email nick@booooookmarks.app.

What we collect

  • Account information. Your email address and any profile details (display name, default folder) you set. Auth is handled by Clerk; if you sign in with Google, we receive your email from Google.
  • Bookmarks and folders. The URLs you save, any titles, descriptions, screenshots, and favicons we fetch about them, and the folders you organize them into.
  • Subscription information. If you upgrade to a paid plan, Stripe handles your payment and we store a Stripe customer ID, your plan status, and renewal dates. We never see or store card details.
  • Mailing list email. If you subscribe to product updates, we store your email in Resend.
  • Diagnostics. Anonymous page-load metrics via Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights, and error reports via Sentry (which include a stack trace and your account ID so we can fix bugs you hit).

What we don't collect

  • Browsing history outside what you explicitly bookmark.
  • Location data.
  • Phone numbers.
  • Tracking cookies for advertising.

How we use it

  • To run the app — show you your bookmarks, sync between devices, generate previews.
  • To process payments through Stripe and keep your plan in sync.
  • To send transactional email (account verification, billing) and, if you opted in, occasional product updates.
  • To debug crashes and improve performance.

We don’t sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it to train AI models.

Third parties that touch your data

  • Clerk — authentication.
  • Stripe — payment processing.
  • Resend — mailing list and transactional email.
  • Peekalink — fetches preview metadata for URLs you save. Each URL you bookmark is sent to Peekalink to retrieve a title and screenshot.
  • Supabase — managed Postgres database.
  • Vercel — hosting and anonymous analytics.
  • Sentry — error monitoring.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy and we recommend you review them if relevant.

Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and local storage only for things that are necessary to run the app:

  • Authentication cookies set by Clerk so you stay signed in.
  • Local storage for your theme (light/dark), card density, and similar UI preferences.

We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or cross-site tracking. Vercel Analytics is cookieless and anonymous; Sentry collects stack traces from crashes but does not record sessions or set tracking cookies.

Public folders

If you choose to share a folder, anyone with the link can view that folder’s contents and your display name. Sharing is off by default and reversible — turning sharing off invalidates the link immediately.

Retention

We keep your account data until you delete your account. Deleting your account removes your bookmarks, folders, and profile from our database. Stripe retains billing records as required by law. Error reports in Sentry expire after 90 days. Database backups roll off within 30 days.

Your rights

You can update your profile information from Settings, unsubscribe from product emails using the link in any update we send, and delete your account at any time. If you’re in the EU, UK, or California, you have rights to access, correct, or delete your data under GDPR / CCPA — email us and we’ll handle it.

Children

booooookmarks isn’t directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has signed up, contact us and we’ll remove the account.

Changes

If we make material changes to this policy, we’ll update the “Last updated” date and, for significant changes, email subscribers and signed-in users. Continued use after the change means you accept the new policy.
