Moodly Privacy Policy
Last updated: 23 June 2026
Moodly is a browser extension that lets you save images and links from websites into visual moodboards and linkboards. This policy explains what data Moodly handles and how. In short: your boards stay on your device, and Moodly does not have a server that collects your data.
What Moodly stores
When you save an image or a link, Moodly stores the following locally in
your browser using Chrome's storage.local API:
- Images you choose to save (the image URL and/or a copy of the image data).
- Links you choose to save, including the page URL, title, preview image, favicon, and domain.
- Your boards, their names, ordering, layout settings, and color palettes.
This data lives only in your browser profile on your computer. It is not uploaded to Moodly or to any third party by the extension.
Network requests Moodly makes
Moodly makes a small number of network requests, only in direct response to your actions:
- Loading a page you save. When you save a link, Moodly requests that page so it can read its title and preview image to build a link card.
- Favicons. Moodly may request a site's favicon, including via Google's public favicon service, to display next to a saved link.
Moodly does not include any analytics, advertising, tracking, or telemetry. It does not create an account or require a login.
This website
Everything above applies to the Moodly browser extension. The moodlyextension.com marketing website (the pages you're reading right now, including this one) is separate from the extension and does not have access to your boards, images, or links. It handles cookies differently, covered below.
Cookies on this website
This website uses Google Analytics to understand site traffic — nothing else on moodlyextension.com sets a cookie. Analytics does not run until you explicitly accept it in the cookie banner shown on your first visit; declining means Google Analytics never loads and no analytics cookie is set. You can change your choice at any time from the Cookie Preferences link in the footer of any page.
If you accept, Google Analytics sets:
_ga— distinguishes visitors. Expires after 2 years._ga_<container-id>— persists session state for this property. Expires after 2 years.
See Google's privacy policy for how Google handles that data. The extension itself never loads Google Analytics or any other tracker.
Permissions
Moodly requests these browser permissions strictly to provide its features:
- storage — to save your boards locally.
- activeTab — to read the current tab's URL/title and capture a preview when you save the current page.
- contextMenus — to add the right-click "Save to Moodly" options.
- access to all websites — so you can save an image or link from any site you visit.
Moodly only reads the page information needed to create a board entry you explicitly asked it to save. It does not scan, collect, or transmit your general browsing activity.
Data sharing
Moodly does not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties. There is no Moodly backend that receives your boards or browsing data.
Data retention and deletion
Because data is stored locally, you control it. You can delete individual images, links, or boards inside Moodly, or remove all of it by uninstalling the extension or clearing the extension's storage. Note that uninstalling the extension permanently removes its locally stored boards.
Children
Moodly is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not directed to children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change accordingly.
