Privacy policy

Last updated 10 September 2026

This describes the actual data handling in the LiveVault Capture browser extension, as built. It's short because the honest answer to most privacy questions here is “that data never leaves your browser” — not because detail has been left out.

Who is responsible

LiveVault is built and operated by an independent solo developer. For any privacy question or request, contact support@livevault.live. For direct purchase questions, email owner@livevault.live. There is no separate data protection officer.

What is stored, and where

Everything you save — pages, selections, links, images, screenshots, notes, and the collections and tags you organize them into — is written to this browser's own local storage (chrome.storage.local for text and metadata, IndexedDB for screenshots and saved images). Nothing is uploaded anywhere. There is no server in this product for data to travel to. The full technical breakdown is on the Security page.

What is deliberately not collected

  • No account. There is nothing to sign up for, so there is no name, email, or password to store.
  • No analytics or telemetry. Nothing about what you save, search, or open is reported anywhere.
  • No IP address collection. There is no server for a request to reach in the first place.
  • No browsing history. The extension only ever reads the specific tab you act on — clicked, right-clicked, or used the keyboard shortcut on — and nothing else.

Who can access your vault

You, on this browser, and no one else. There is no operator-side copy of your data to access, because none is ever transmitted — not a partial copy, not a backup, not a log line. That is a stronger position than most privacy policies can honestly claim, and it holds here only because there is genuinely no server on the other end.

Sub-processors

None. Nothing about what you save is processed by any third party, because it never leaves your browser. (Distributing the extension itself — through the Chrome Web Store, or as a direct download from this site — does not give either party access to your vault content.)

How long data is kept

For as long as you keep it. There is no automatic expiry. Deleting an item moves it to Trash, where it stays until you restore it or delete it permanently — the second one actually removes it. Uninstalling the extension, or clearing this browser's site data, deletes everything, with no way to recover it afterward except from a backup you made yourself. Settings has an Export button for exactly that.

Your rights

Because your data lives only in your own browser, you already have direct, immediate access to view, edit, export, or permanently delete anything in your vault — there's no request to send or wait on, since there's no one else holding a copy. If something about that isn't working as described, email support@livevault.live.

Security

The Security page lists every permission the extension requests, what each one is for, and what is deliberately not built.

Children

LiveVault is not directed at children under 16.

Changes

Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date at the top, and noted in the changelog.

The previous product

Before this extension, livevault.live promoted a different tool — expiring, tokenized links for sensitive media. That tool still runs and still handles real data on its own infrastructure (unlike this extension, which has none), so it keeps its own, separately accurate policy: privacy policy for the secure-link tool.
