Privacy Policy
Overview
Quick Links is a browser extension that opens URLs found in your text selection as new tabs. This policy explains what data the extension accesses and how it is used.
Quick Links does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. All information stays on your device.
Data stored locally
The extension stores the following preferences in your browser's built-in sync storage (chrome.storage.sync):
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Allowed domains | The list of websites where the extension is enabled |
| Keyboard shortcut | Your custom hotkey for triggering the extension |
| Confirm before close | Whether to show a confirmation prompt when closing the source tab |
These values are synced across your own Chrome profile by the browser. They are never sent to any third-party server.
Temporary session data
When you open multiple URLs at once, the extension briefly tracks which tabs it opened in order to offer a "close source tab" prompt when you are done. This tracking is held in chrome.storage.session — it exists only for the current browser session and is cleared automatically when those tabs close.
Data accessed but not stored
- Your text selection — read at the moment you trigger the extension to extract URLs. It is never stored or transmitted.
- The active tab's URL — read when you open the settings popup to show a one-click "add current site" suggestion. It is never stored or transmitted beyond that interaction.
Data not collected
- No browsing history
- No page content beyond the user-selected text at trigger time
- No cookies or credentials
- No analytics or usage tracking
- No crash reporting
- No advertising identifiers
Third-party services
Quick Links does not use any third-party services, APIs, or analytics platforms.
