Privacy Policy for TabTrove

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how TabTrove ("we," "our," or "the extension") handles information when you use our Chrome browser extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Information We Do NOT Collect

TabTrove does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information or browsing data. Specifically:

• We do not track your browsing history
• We do not collect personal information such as name, email, or location
• We do not store webpage content or URLs you visit
• We do not maintain any databases of user information
• We do not share data with third parties

Information We Access

TabTrove only accesses the following information to provide its core functionality:

• Tab titles and URLs from your currently open browser tabs
• Basic tab metadata (such as whether a tab is active or in which window)

Important:This information is only accessed when you actively use the extension's features (copying tab information or opening new tabs). All processing occurs entirely within your browser, and no data is transmitted to external servers.

How We Use Information

The accessed information is used solely to:

• Display lists of your open tabs for copying
• Format tab titles and URLs according to your selected format (Plain Text, HTML, Markdown)
• Open new tabs from URLs you provide in the text input area
• Organize tabs across different browser windows

All operations are performed locally in your browser, and results are either copied to your clipboard or used to open new tabs as requested.

Data Storage

TabTrove uses minimal local storage only to:

• Remember your format preferences (Plain Text, HTML, or Markdown)
• Store your selected scope settings (Current Tab, Current Window, or All Tabs)

This information is stored locally in your browser and is never transmitted to external servers.

Permissions Justification

Our extension requests the following Chrome permissions:

We follow the principle of minimal permissions- requesting only what's necessary for core functionality.

Third-Party Services

TabTrove does not integrate with any third-party services and does not send data to external servers.

Your Privacy and Control

You maintain full control over your privacy:

• Manual activation: The extension only accesses tab data when you actively use its features
• Local processing: All operations occur within your browser
• No tracking: We do not monitor your browsing habits or create user profiles
• Uninstall anytime: Remove the extension to stop all data access immediately

Children's Privacy

TabTrove does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information from users of any age, no special procedures are necessary.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted with a new effective date. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

No Data Retention

Since we do not collect or store user data on external servers, there are no data retention periods or deletion procedures necessary. All tab information is processed in real-time and discarded immediately after use.
