Terms of service

The agreement between you and Trovemarks, in plain words. Last updated 16 October 2026.

The short version

  • What you save is yours. We keep it, show it to the people you choose, and nothing else.
  • Don’t use Trovemarks for spam, abuse or anything illegal.
  • Pro renews until you cancel, and you can cancel any time.
  • If Trovemarks ever closes, you’ll get notice and time to export everything.

By making an account or using Trovemarks, you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy, which says what we do with your data.

Your account

  • You need to be at least 16 to have an account.
  • Keep your passkeys, email and API keys safe. You’re responsible for what happens through your account, including through the extensions, assistants and keys you connect.
  • Your username must not pretend to be someone else, or a brand you don’t represent.
  • One person, one account. Accounts made to get around a suspension, or in bulk, will be removed.

What you save and share

You own what you add: your notes, titles, descriptions, collections and comments. You give us permission to store it, copy it to keep it safe, and show it in the ways the service works: to you, and, for whatever you make public, to anyone. That permission ends when you delete it, apart from copies in backups, which are overwritten within 30 days.

Public means public. When you make a link or collection public, anyone can see it, follow it, read its RSS feed, and save its links to their own library with credit to you. Search engines may index it. If you make it private again, it disappears from Trovemarks straight away, but we can’t recall copies other people or services already made.

The links aren’t yours or ours. The pages you save belong to their authors. Linking to a page, and keeping a private copy of it for your own reading, is what Trovemarks is for. Don’t use public collections to share copies of other people’s work, or to point people at material you know infringes someone’s rights.

Saved copies of pages

When you ask Trovemarks to keep copies, our servers fetch the page as a visitor would and store its text and, on Pro, the full page and a screenshot. Copies are private to you, for your own reference and search. They’re never shown to other people.

If you own a page and want copies of it removed, write to [email protected] and we’ll do it.

What you can’t do

Don’t use Trovemarks to:

  • Post spam, or links and comments meant to manipulate search engines or Trending.
  • Harass, threaten or impersonate anyone, or share someone’s private information.
  • Share material that’s illegal, sexualises minors, promotes violence, or that you don’t have the right to share.
  • Spread malware, phishing or scams.
  • Get around privacy: try to see other people’s private links, or work out what they are.
  • Overload or break the service, get around rate limits, or scrape it beyond what the API and RSS feeds offer.
  • Get around a block or a suspension.

We can remove content and suspend or close accounts that break these rules. Where we can, we’ll tell you why, and you can reply if you think we got it wrong. People can report anything they think breaks them.

Integrations and the API

You can connect browsers, assistants, apps and scripts to your account. They act on your behalf, with your permission, until you disconnect them in Settings → Sources. You’re responsible for what they do, and for keeping their keys safe.

Use the API within its limits. Don’t build something that makes Trovemarks look like it’s yours, or that collects other people’s data.

Pro

  • Pro is billed in advance, monthly or yearly, through Stripe, and renews automatically until you cancel. Prices are shown before you pay and include any tax we have to charge.
  • Cancel any time in Settings → Plan. Pro lasts until the end of the period you’ve paid for, and isn’t refunded for the part you don’t use, unless the law where you live says otherwise.
  • If we change the price, we’ll tell you at least 30 days before it applies to you, and you can cancel before then.
  • What happens to your data when Pro ends is set out in Free and Pro. Nothing you saved is deleted because you stop paying.

If things end

You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Account. It’s gone from view straight away and erased after 30 days.

We can suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, or puts other people or the service at risk.

If Trovemarks ever shuts down, we’ll give at least 60 days’ notice by email, and you’ll be able to export everything you saved for all of that time.

The service as it is

We work hard to keep Trovemarks running and your links safe, with backups every night. But it’s provided as it is: we can’t promise it will never be unavailable, that every page can be fetched or copied, or that copies will be perfect. Keep your own export of anything you can’t afford to lose.

As far as the law allows, we’re not liable for indirect losses, like lost profits or data, arising from your use of Trovemarks, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits rights you have that can’t be limited by law, such as for consumers in your country.

Changes

We may update these terms as Trovemarks changes. If a change matters, we’ll tell you by email at least 30 days before it takes effect. Carrying on using Trovemarks after that means you accept the new terms; if you don’t, you can delete your account.
