Purl

Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2, 2025

Overview

Purl ("we", "our", or "us") is a personal library that lets you save content from the web. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Information we collect

  • Account data — your email address and hashed password when you sign up.
  • Saved content — URLs, and page metadata (title, description, favicon, thumbnail) of the links you save to Purl.
  • Usage data— how many links you've saved, to enforce the per-account limit.

How we use your data

  • To provide and improve the Purl service.
  • To enforce the per-account link limit.
  • To send transactional emails (account verification, receipts).

We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or share it with third parties outside of the service providers listed below.

Third-party service providers

We use the following sub-processors to operate Purl:

  • Vercelhosting and compute
  • Supabasedatabase and real-time infrastructure
  • Resendtransactional email

Chrome extension

The Purl browser extension reads only the URL of the active tab when you click the toolbar icon. It does not track browsing history, read page content, or collect any data passively. The URL is sent to purl.nublson.com solely to save the link to your account.

Data retention

Your data is retained as long as your account is active. You can delete individual saved links at any time. To delete your account and all associated data, contact us at me@nublson.com.

Security

Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. We follow industry-standard practices to protect your information.

Children

Purl is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the date at the top. Continued use of Purl after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
