TabMan does not collect, transmit, sell or share any personal information. The extension makes no network requests of any kind — not for analytics, not for sync, not for fonts, not even for site icons. Everything it stores stays on your own computer.
What TabMan handles
To do its job — organising the tabs you already have open — TabMan reads the title and URL of your open tabs. It stores the following on your own device using Chrome's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local):
- Tabs you choose to save into a Space or an Archive — their titles and URLs
- Your settings: whether idle tabs are suspended automatically, the idle threshold, and whether pinned or audio-playing tabs are protected
- Per-tab timestamps of when each tab was last active, used only to decide which tabs are idle enough to suspend
- A rolling snapshot of your current session, so it can be recovered after a browser crash
That is the complete list. TabMan does not read page contents, does not inject scripts into the pages you visit, and has no content scripts at all.
Where it goes
Nowhere. This data never leaves your computer. There are no servers, no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no cookies and no third-party services of any kind.
Chrome's sync storage is not used, so nothing is copied to your Google account or to other machines.
Site icons are read from Chrome's own local icon store, never fetched from the websites in your tab list. This is a deliberate choice: fetching favicons directly would mean an outbound request to every site you have open.
The dashboard's icons and fonts are bundled with the extension, so even its interface loads nothing from the internet.
Permissions, and why each one is needed
| Permission | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| tabs | Read the title and URL of your open tabs so they can be listed, grouped, searched and saved — and act on the ones you choose: switching to a tab, closing it, suspending it, or reopening it from a Space. |
| storage | Keep your Spaces, archives, settings, idle timestamps and session snapshot on your own device, so they survive closing the dashboard. |
| favicon | Show each tab's site icon from Chrome's local icon store, so TabMan never has to request anything from the websites themselves. |
Your control over your data
- Export — write your entire session and every collection to a JSON file on your own disk, at any time, from the dashboard
- Delete — "Delete all TabMan data" in Settings erases everything immediately and permanently
- Uninstall — removing the extension removes all of its stored data with it
Because nothing is ever sent anywhere, there is no copy of your data for us to hold, hand over, or be asked to delete.
Children
TabMan is a general-purpose utility. It collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.
Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, the revised version will be published at this address with an updated date at the top. Any change that would involve collecting or transmitting data would also require new permissions, which Chrome would prompt you to review before the update installed.
