TabScape Privacy Policy

1. What This Policy Covers

This privacy policy explains how TabScape, a Chrome browser extension, handles information when you use our product. It covers what data we access, how we use it, and your rights.

3. Information We Access (Not Collect)

When TabScape is Active:

• Tab Information: We read tab titles and URLs from Chrome's API to display and organize them. This data is only held in memory while the extension is open and is never saved.
• Browser History: We access timestamps from your browsing history to sort tabs by recency. We don't read or store the actual history.

What We Store Locally:

• User Preferences: Your settings (display mode, window size, grouping preferences) are saved in Chrome's local storage
• Nothing else is stored

4. How We Use Information

Tab Organization:

• Display tabs grouped by domain
• Enable search across open tabs
• Sort tabs by access time
• All processing happens in your browser

Settings Management:

• Remember your display preferences
• Maintain window configuration
• Store grouping options

5. What We Don't Do

• No external servers or cloud storage
• No analytics or tracking cookies
• No data mining or profiling
• No advertising networks
• No third-party integrations

6. Data Storage and Security

• All settings stored using Chrome's storage.local API
• Data never leaves your device

• Uninstalling removes all stored data

7. Required Permissions Explained

11. Regional Considerations

TabScape operates the same way globally. We don't collect data regardless of your location, so regional privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) are inherently respected through our no-collection approach.
