Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 2, 2026 · Last Updated: July 2, 2026

The short version: TuckMark doesn't collect any personal data or phone home to its developer. No analytics, no crash reports, no tracking, no accounts, no third-party servers. Your bookmarks and reading live on your device. When you save a link, the page is fetched directly from your device to that site to get its title, description, favicon, and article text. Optional iCloud sync is end-to-end encrypted and private to you and your own Apple devices. Details below.

Overview

TuckMark ("the App") is a native macOS, iOS, and iPadOS application for managing bookmarks and saving articles to read later. This privacy policy describes how the App handles information.

Information We Collect

TuckMark does not collect any personal information. The App does not:

Collect your name, email address, or any other identifying information
Transmit any data to the App developer
Use analytics, crash reporting services, advertising, or tracking tools
Access your contacts, photos, location, or any other system data
Create user accounts managed by the developer, or require registration with the developer
Collect or process any payment or financial information

Fetching Pages & Metadata

When you save a bookmark or a read-later article, TuckMark contacts the saved page's website directly from your device to fetch the page's title, description, favicon, and, for articles, the page content so the readable text can be extracted and stored for offline reading. Article extraction runs entirely on your device.

These requests go only to the site you chose to save, exactly as if you had opened the page in a browser. There is no intermediary metadata service, proxy, or developer server involved, and the requests do not include your name, account, or any other personal identity. The site you are contacting can see your device's IP address, as with any web request, and its own privacy practices apply. Fetched metadata, favicons, and article text are stored locally on your device so the App works quickly and offline.

Data Storage

Your library is stored locally on your Device in an on-device database: the bookmarks you save, collections, tags, favorites, notes, custom favicons, saved article text and images, highlights, read and starred status, usage counters (such as how often you open a link), Dashboard layout, Recently Deleted items, and preferences. The App functions fully offline once a page has been saved.

iCloud Sync

Sync is opt-in. TuckMark stays local unless you turn iCloud Sync on. If you do, and you are signed in to iCloud, TuckMark keeps your library in sync across your Apple devices using Apple's CloudKit private database. Your data is stored in your own private iCloud account, in accordance with Apple's Privacy Policy. The developer has no access to it.

Synced data includes your bookmarks, collections, tags, notes, saved article text and images, highlights, preferences, usage counters, and Recently Deleted items.
The content you create is end-to-end encrypted. Every user-data field (including page text, images, highlights, notes, preferences, and usage counters) is stored as encrypted fields that only your devices can read; they are not visible to Apple or to the developer.
Usage statistics are per-device counters that are merged conflict-free across devices, so no central service ever needs to see them.

Because sync uses your private iCloud account, no library data is ever transmitted to the App developer. If you disable iCloud or sign out, your data remains available locally on each device.

Importing Bookmarks

TuckMark can import bookmarks from an HTML export that you provide from Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. The file you choose is read and parsed entirely on your Device to create your collections and tags. It is not uploaded to the developer or to any third party.

Share Sheet & Safari Extension

The bundled share extension and Safari web extension exist only to hand a link (and, where available, the page's content) from the current page to the App on your device. They do not read your browsing history, do not observe pages you have not explicitly shared or saved, and do not transmit anything off your device.

Third-Party Services

TuckMark does not integrate with any advertising networks, analytics platforms, or crash reporters. The only network connections the App makes are to the websites you choose to save, as described under Fetching Pages & Metadata, and to Apple's iCloud, which is used solely for optional, end-to-end encrypted private sync as described above.

Children's Privacy

TuckMark does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes in a future version of the App, the updated policy will be published at this URL and the "Last Updated" date above will be revised. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
