# What should I keep in Bookmarks, Contacts and the Vault?

The parts of your life that do not belong in a browser profile or a phone address book. Bookmarks, Contacts and the Vault sit beside the ones your browser and your phone already sync to Google, Apple or Mozilla, and they hold what you would rather keep out of those. All three are free on every tier.

- Links about health, money, law or a job hunt, on a computer you share with someone
- Research for one topic, kept together instead of buried among thousands of browser bookmarks
- The doctor, the lawyer, the landlord and the recruiter, kept out of an address book that syncs to iCloud or Google
- A contact with the context around them: your notes, the dates, the file they sent you
- Recovery phrases, license keys, safe codes and passport numbers, which are secrets but not logins
- The few credentials you never want inside a browser extension

Each one is a row in the sidebar. If a row is missing, open the sidebar options menu above your tags and switch **Show in sidebar** on for it. You can bring your existing ones in from a file and take them out the same way ([bookmarks](https://privacynotes.app/help/bookmarks/), [contacts](https://privacynotes.app/help/contacts/), [the Vault](https://privacynotes.app/help/vault/)).
