FolderXD

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 28, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to FolderXD. Your privacy is critically important to us. We built FolderXD with a strict "privacy-first" and "offline-by-design" approach. This Privacy Policy outlines how your data is handled when you use the FolderXD Chrome Extension to organize your Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and other web applications.

2. Data Collection and Usage

FolderXD does not collect, transmit, distribute, or sell any of your personal data.

To provide its core functionality, FolderXD saves the following information entirely on your local device:

  • The URLs of the web pages you choose to save.
  • The titles of those web pages.
  • Your custom folder names, organization structure, and folder color preferences.
  • Your active Google account email, so switching between a work and personal account always shows the right set of folders. It is stored locally on your device only, never transmitted, and never used for anything beyond folder separation.

Because FolderXD does not require an account or login, we have no way to identify you, and we do not track your browsing history or activity outside of the files you explicitly add to your FolderXD folders.

3. Local Storage & Offline Design

All data generated or saved using FolderXD stays exclusively on your computer. It is stored securely in your browser's local storage. Your data never leaves your device, is never uploaded to the cloud, and is never sent to our servers or any third-party servers. FolderXD works entirely offline.

4. Chrome Extension Permissions

To function correctly, FolderXD requests the following Chrome browser permissions:

Storage:

This permission is strictly used to save your folders, file links (URLs and titles), and folder colors to your browser's local storage.

Unlimited Storage (Future Update):

The standard storage permission is limited to 10MB. To allow you to create unlimited folders and store unlimited files without running out of space, FolderXD will request the "unlimitedStorage" permission. This simply removes the 10MB local limit; it does not change the fact that your data remains 100% local.

sidePanel (side panel):

FolderXD uses the sidePanel permission to display a persistent folder management interface alongside Google Workspace apps (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Keep). Currently, this panel allows you to quickly enable or disable the extension and send feedback. While we plan to add more functionality to this interface in the future, it remains strictly a user interface element. This permission does not grant the extension access to monitor or collect data from the websites you visit.

5. Third-Party Access

Because your data is never transmitted over the internet or stored on external servers, it is impossible for us to share, sell, or rent your information to third parties. Your data is accessible only by you, directly through your own web browser.

6. User Control and Data Deletion

You have complete control over your data. Because all information is stored locally, you can delete your folders, files, or all Extension data at any time directly through the FolderXD interface or by clearing your browser's local storage data. Uninstalling the FolderXD extension will also permanently remove all associated local data.

7. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our extension or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy.
