Research Link Vault Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

Overview

Research Link Vault is a Chrome extension that helps users save, organize, search, filter, and export research and academic URLs. This privacy policy explains how information is handled when you use the extension.

Information We Handle

Research Link Vault may store information that you explicitly save through the extension, such as research URLs, page titles, dates, and resource types. This information is used only to provide the extension's research link management features.

Browser Tab Information

When you explicitly use the "Save Current Tab" feature, the extension may access the current tab's URL and page title so that the page can be saved as a research resource. This access is used for the requested save action.

Local Storage

Research Link Vault uses Chrome's extension storage functionality to retain your saved research links and related settings so they remain available between browser sessions.

CSV Import and Export

The extension allows you to export your saved research links as CSV files and import previously exported CSV data. These operations are initiated by the user.

Data Sharing and Sale

Research Link Vault does not sell your personal data or transfer your saved research collection to third parties for purposes unrelated to the extension's single purpose.

Data Security

Research Link Vault uses Chrome's extension storage mechanisms for data retained by the extension. Users should also protect access to their browser and device because saved research information is associated with their browser environment.

Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated when the extension's functionality or data practices change. The latest version will be published on this page.
