FavorAI — Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026 · Extension version: 1.2.0

✅ Summary: FavorAI collects no personal data on its own behalf. It has no server, no database, no telemetry. Your API key and bookmarks never leave your device except to be sent to the AI service you configured yourself.

1. About FavorAI

FavorAI is a browser extension developed independently by an individual developer. It is published on the Chrome Web Store and the Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store.

2. What data is processed?

Data	Storage	Sent to a third party?	Required?
LLM API Key (OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, etc.)	Stored locally in `chrome.storage.sync` (encrypted by the browser)	No — only used as a header in requests to the API you configured	✅ Yes — LLM authentication
Bookmark titles & structure (folder hierarchy + names)	Not persisted — used only in memory during analysis	✅ Yes — sent to the LLM service configured by the user (see below)	✅ Yes — required for AI reorganization
Bookmark URLs	Not persisted by FavorAI	✅ Yes — URLs are included in the payload sent to the LLM to help with semantic classification	Partial — also used locally to check for dead links (optional)
Session history	Stored locally in `chrome.storage.local`	❌ No	✅ Yes — to allow session rollback
Configuration (provider, model, custom prompt)	`chrome.storage.sync`	❌ No	✅ Yes — user preferences

3. Data transmitted to your AI service

⚠️ Important: When you launch a reorganization, FavorAI builds a JSON payload containing your bookmark titles, URLs, and folder structure, then sends it to the AI service you configured in the Configuration tab (OpenAI, Google Gemini, Mistral, Grok, Ollama, or a custom endpoint).

FavorAI has no control over the privacy policy of these third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of the provider you use:

OpenAI — Privacy Policy
Google (Gemini) — Privacy Policy
Mistral AI — Privacy Policy
xAI (Grok) — Privacy Policy
Ollama (local) — No external transmission; the model runs entirely on your machine

4. What FavorAI never does

We have no server of our own — FavorAI has no backend, no database, no user accounts
We collect no data for analytics, advertising or profiling purposes
We use no telemetry, no trackers, no tracking pixels
We share no data with third-party partners other than the LLM you configured yourself
We do not read your open tabs, browsing history, cookies or passwords
We inject no scripts into the pages you visit

5. Why these permissions?

Permission	Usage
`bookmarks`	Read, move, rename and delete bookmarks — the core functionality of the extension
`storage`	Store your configuration (API key, preferences) and session history locally in your browser
`alarms`	Keep the background service worker alive during long AI processing operations
`tabs`	Detect the active tab URL when you use the "Add Bookmark" feature
`<all_urls>` (optional)	Requested only when you enable "Check dead links": sends HEAD/GET requests to your bookmark URLs to detect broken links. Also required to communicate with custom LLM endpoints on any domain. You can deny this permission — all other features remain functional.

6. API Key security

Your API key is stored in chrome.storage.sync. This storage is encrypted by the browser and synced across devices signed in to the same Chrome/Edge account. FavorAI cannot read your key outside the extension context.

Recommendation: Create a dedicated API key for FavorAI with a limited quota at your LLM provider.

7. Your rights (GDPR)

Since FavorAI collects no personal data on its own behalf, rights of access, rectification and deletion apply directly to your browser:

Delete your data: Use the "Clear History" button in the History tab, or uninstall the extension (all local data is wiped)
Export your configuration: Use the "Export" button in the Configuration tab
Exercise your rights with the LLM provider: Contact your AI provider directly (OpenAI, Google, Mistral, etc.) for any data they may have processed

8. Changes to this policy

Any significant changes to this policy will be noted in the extension's release notes. The last update date is shown at the top of this page.
