VexaBookmarksPrivacy Policy
Last updated: September 8, 2026
VexaBookmarks (the extension, or we) is a Chrome extension developed by Veltrex. This policy describes exactly what data VexaBookmarks collects, stores, and transmits, based on how the extension is actually built.
1. Data we collect and why
| Data | When it's collected | Where it's stored | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google account email, display name, profile photo URL | When you sign in with Google | Firebase Authentication; mirrored into your Firestore profile document | Identify your account and let you sync across devices |
| Firebase UID / session token | On sign-in | Locally in your browser (Firebase SDK) | Keep you signed in |
| Bookmark titles, URLs, folders/categories, tags | Whenever you add, edit, or organize a bookmark | Locally, and in Firestore under your account if you are signed in | Core bookmark management and cross-device sync |
| Subscription/trial status and dates | On account creation and Premium activation | Firestore, on your user document | Determine whether Premium features are unlocked |
| UPI payment reference (UTR) | When you submit a Premium payment for manual verification | Firestore, in a payment-requests record tied to your account | Let our admin verify your payment and activate Premium |
| Wallpaper preference | When you pick a wallpaper | Locally; custom uploads stay in your browser's local IndexedDB storage | Personalize your new-tab page |
| Bookmark click counts | When you click a bookmark | Locally only | Power the in-app Analytics panel; this never leaves your device |
2. Third parties that receive data
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Authentication & Firestore) | Everything marked Firestore above | Account sync, subscription state, and payment records |
| Google favicon service (google.com/s2/favicons) | The domain name of each bookmarked site, not the full URL or your identity | Displaying a small icon next to each bookmark |
| Supabase (video hosting) | Nothing about you; your browser requests video files for built-in live wallpapers | Delivering optional animated wallpaper videos |
We do not use any advertising network, and we do not sell or share your data for marketing purposes.
3. What we do not do
- We do not track your browsing activity outside of the bookmarks you explicitly save.
- We do not run third-party analytics or advertising trackers.
- We do not store your UPI PIN, bank details, or payment credentials. We only store the transaction reference you submit for manual verification.
4. Data retention and deletion
Your bookmark and account data is retained for as long as your account exists. You can delete individual bookmarks at any time within the extension. To request full account and data deletion, contact us at team@veltrex.co.in.
5. Security
Access to your data in Firestore is enforced by server-side security rules: only you can read or write your own bookmarks and profile, and only our administrator account can approve or reject subscription payments. No admin or service-account credentials are included in the extension itself.
6. Children's privacy
VexaBookmarks is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
7. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update the last-updated date above. Continued use of the extension after a change means you accept the updated policy.
