 Local bookmarks are a privacy risk for those who must worry about having
 hardware stolen or confiscated. The Tor community has answered that
 problem with OnionBookmark (http://x7yxqg5v4j6yzhti.onion/). With
 OnionBookmark, it is very easy to store a set of bookmarks inside of the
 onion rather than inside of one's machine.

 Hi,
 I'm the admin of that site.
 I started it some time ago to help people with the issue that the user is
 posting.

 I'm unsure about what you are referring to when you ask "what they do with
 bookmarks people store on their service.", but I do not 'do' anything at
 all.
 It's a secure place to store your bookmarks, and you can freely choose if
 they are going to be private only (not viewable by others) or if it's
 locked away with your account.

 I provide this service solely for the interest of doing something for the
 users of tor.
