Bark Sender Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Bark Sender browser extension collects, uses, and protects your information. We highly value your privacy and are committed to safeguarding your personal data.

1. Data Collection and Use

• All data is only sent through the user-configured Bark server API URL and will not communicate with any other servers outside of the configured domain.
• All data is stored locally in the user's browser.
• No additional personal information is collected.

2. Data Storage

• All configuration data is stored using the browser’s local storage.
• No data is uploaded to any third-party servers.
• Users can delete all stored data at any time.

3. Data Transmission

• Only when the user triggers a push, the message content is sent to the user-configured Bark server.
• No communication occurs with any other servers.

4. User Rights

6. Website Icon Feature Description

• Starting from version v1.3.0 (2025-09-06), an optional website icon feature is added, disabled by default
• When enabled, only the domain part of the website (e.g., example.com) is retrieved; the full URL or user activity data is never transmitted
• By default, favicon.uuphy.com is used as a proxy server to fetch website icons from public favicon services
• The proxy mechanism prevents your IP address and other information from being directly exposed to third-party favicon services
• favicon.uuphy.com does not share your domain query information with any third party
• Users can customize the favicon service provider to fetch icons or disable this feature at any time
• This feature is completely optional and does not affect the extension's core notification functionality
