LinkSense privacy policy

Last updated 28 October 2026

LinkSense is a personal library of saved pages, notes, images and files. This policy covers the LinkSense web app at linksense.minhlu.com and the LinkSense Chrome extension.

What the extension reads

The extension reads a page only when you ask it to save something:

• From the toolbar button: the address and title of the tab in front, and any text you have selected on it.
• From the right-click menu: the page, the selected text, the link or the image you chose, and the address of the page it is on. Saving an image downloads that image from its site once, after Chrome asks you to allow that site.

It never reads pages in the background, your browsing history or other tabs.

Where it goes

What you save is sent over HTTPS to your own LinkSense server and to nothing else. The extension uses the sign-in you already have on that server; it does not store your password. Saves that have not reached the server yet are kept in the extension's local storage in your browser until they are delivered.

What LinkSense does with it

Your library is stored on that server and shown only to your signed-in account. To show a title, a preview and readable text for a saved address, the server fetches that address once. There are no advertisements, no analytics and no tracking. Nothing is sold, shared with or transferred to third parties, and nothing is used to decide creditworthiness or for any purpose other than keeping your library.

What the web app keeps in your browser

So that it opens at once, the web app keeps a copy of what it last showed in your browser's storage on that device: the first page of the views you opened recently, with each item's name, address or file name, description, the beginning of its note and what an import brought with it, your folder names, and your account's email. Anyone who can use that browser profile can read it. Signing out deletes it, and so does signing in with another account. When your session ends without you signing out, because it expired or was ended from another device, the copy is not deleted at that moment: it is deleted the next time the web app runs and learns that the session ended. A copy older than 30 days is never shown and is deleted the next time the app opens.

Your browser also keeps its own cache of what the web app loaded: lists, item details, extracted text and previews. Signing out tells the browser to delete that cache. Until then, and after a session that ended without signing out, the browser keeps or discards it by its own rules.

Removing your data

Items you move to Trash and then delete are removed from the library. Removing the extension deletes the saves it was still holding.
