Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 11, 2026

Introduction

This policy explains how the LinkLeaf browser extension ("the Extension") and the LinkLeaf website at linkleaf.netlify.app ("the Website") handle data. Our core principle is to collect no personal data.

Data we do not collect

LinkLeaf has no servers that receive, store or track your tabs, your links or any personal information. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

How a LinkLeaf link works

When you create a link, the Extension packs the titles and URLs you selected (plus your title and note) into the part of the link after the #. This happens entirely on your device. Browsers never send that part of a URL to a web server, so the Website's host does not receive your links when someone opens one.

Anyone who has a LinkLeaf link can see every title and URL in it. Treat it like the list of links itself. Avoid sharing URLs that contain private information such as login or reset tokens; the Extension warns you about these and can remove URL parameters for you.

Permissions explained

• "tabs": to read the titles and URLs of your open tabs so you can choose which ones to share. This information is only used on your device when you create a link.
• "tabGroups": to let you share a tab group, and to open a shared LinkLeaf as a named tab group.
• "storage": to keep a list of the links you created recently (title, number of links, the link and the date) on your device only. You can delete entries or clear the list from the Extension at any time. It is never synced or uploaded.
• "contextMenus": to add a "Share with LinkLeaf" option to the right-click menu.

The Extension also lets the Website ask it to open a leaf's links in a new window. It only accepts this request from linkleaf.netlify.app, and only opens http and https links.

Third-party requests on the Website

When you open a LinkLeaf, the Website shows a small icon for each link. To do this, your browser may request:

• the icon from Google's favicon service (www.google.com/s2/favicons), which receives the website domain of each link (for example example.com, not the full URL) and your IP address; or
• for links made with older versions of LinkLeaf, the icon directly from the shared website, which receives your IP address.

These requests are sent without a referrer, so the services don't learn that you came from LinkLeaf. If an icon can't be loaded, the Website shows a letter instead.

The Website is hosted on Netlify, which, like any web host, processes standard request data (such as IP address and browser type) to serve pages. Netlify does not receive the link data after the #.

Changes to this policy

If we change how LinkLeaf handles data, we will update this page and the date at the top.
