Privacy Policy

Summary

URLflows for Individuals is a local-first browser extension for managing development and engineering work, and it's free, forever. Your bookmarks, sections, settings, and click history are stored on your device and are never sent to us. This page explains what data we do and don't collect across the extension and the urlflows.app website.

No accounts required

URLflows for Individuals does not require an account to use. There is no sign-up, no login, and nothing to create.

Data stored by the extension

• Bookmarks, sections, and settings — stored in Chrome Storage on your device.
• Click counts and rankings — stored locally and used to surface your most-used bookmarks.
• None of this data leaves your browser unless you explicitly export it.

No usage analytics in the extension

The extension collects no usage analytics. It sends no feature-usage events, no clicks, no view durations, and no identifiers of any kind off your device. Everything it stores stays in Chrome Storage on your device.

How we handle personal data

Our web forms don't collect your email address, name, or any other personal contact details. Submissions are anonymous and identified only by a randomly generated tracking ID you can use to reference them later.

The urlflows.app website

The website is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub, as the hosting provider, may log standard request metadata (such as IP address, user agent, and timestamp). We do not access or control these logs.

For the website only, we use PostHog to collect anonymous analytics — page visits, navigation paths, and aggregate interaction counts that help us understand how visitors use urlflows.app. These events are not linked to your identity: we don't send names, email addresses, form contents, or persistent identifiers, and we don't build profiles of individual visitors. PostHog is a third-party analytics provider based in the United States, so anonymous event data is transmitted to and stored on servers in the US.

We do not run advertising or other third-party tracking scripts on the site.

Feedback and contact forms

When you submit the "Tell Us Something" widget, only your message, category, and a randomly generated tracking ID are sent to a private Google Sheet (Google Workspace), which we use to store and review submissions. Only we can access it. We don't collect your email address, your name, or any other identifying information through this form, and we don't share submissions with third parties or use them for marketing.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect any information you share with us.

What we don't do

• We don't sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
• We don't track which URLs you visit outside of URLflows for Individuals.
• We don't sync your bookmarks to any server.
• We don't set identifying tracking cookies or build profiles of individual visitors.

Deleting your data

From Settings → Data Management in the extension you can reset settings or delete all URLflows for Individuals data at any time. Uninstalling the extension removes everything stored locally.

Our web forms don't collect personal contact information, so there's nothing to de-identify after the fact. If you'd like a specific submission removed from our records, send us a note with the tracking ID and we'll remove the matching row.

Children's privacy

URLflows for Individuals is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we'll change the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be announced on urlflows.app.
