Privacy Policy

Local-first by design.

STASH is a Chrome extension for saving tabs into a searchable bookmark stash. This policy explains what the extension stores, what it does not collect, and how you can remove your data.

Effective June 23, 2026 No account No cloud vault No sale of data

Data the extension stores locally

When you choose to save a tab, STASH stores bookmark information in chrome.storage.local in your browser profile. This can include:

  • The saved page URL, title, domain, and favicon URL if Chrome provides one.
  • Tags, notes, saved dates, and other bookmark details you add.
  • Local preferences such as theme, view mode, sort order, and filter state.

This data is used to display your stash, search it, filter it, export it when you ask, and open saved links when you choose them.

Data we do not collect

STASH does not collect saved bookmark data on our servers. The extension does not create a STASH account, does not send your stash to a cloud database, and does not sell or rent your data.

STASH does not collect personally identifiable information, health information, financial or payment information, authentication information, personal communications, precise location, or user activity tracking data.

STASH does not monitor your browsing history. It records only the pages you explicitly save or import into the extension.

Chrome permissions

STASH requests a small set of Chrome extension permissions so the core features can work:

  • Tabs: used to read the active tab's URL, title, and favicon when you save a tab, and to open or focus the STASH vault tab when requested.
  • Storage: used to store saved bookmarks, tags, notes, and preferences locally in your browser.

Remote code and network use

The Chrome extension does not execute remotely hosted code. Its JavaScript, CSS, fonts, and icons are packaged with the extension.

The public website at getstash.fyi is a static marketing and policy site hosted by Netlify. Like most hosting providers, Netlify may process standard request metadata, such as IP address, browser user agent, and request time, to deliver the site, prevent abuse, and maintain service security. That website hosting metadata is separate from your local STASH extension data.

Import, export, and sharing

If you use STASH import or export features, the file is created or selected by you. Exported files remain under your control unless you choose to share them, upload them, or store them somewhere else.

Deleting your data

You can delete individual saved items inside STASH. You can also remove the extension from Chrome or clear the extension's local browser storage to remove locally stored STASH data from that browser profile.

Third parties

We do not share your saved bookmark data with third parties. Chrome, the Chrome Web Store, GitHub, Netlify, and any sites you choose to open have their own privacy practices outside of STASH.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy when STASH changes. If the way STASH handles extension data changes materially, we will update this page and the Chrome Web Store disclosure.

For privacy questions, contact the publisher through the Chrome Web Store listing or the GitHub repository linked from this site.
