Privacy Policy — Tab Memory Manager

Last updated: 2026-06-13

Tab Memory Manager is built to be private by design. This policy explains what the
extension does and does not do with your information.

The short version

Tab Memory Manager does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any of your data.
Everything the extension does happens locally, inside your own browser. There are no
servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking.

What the extension accesses

To do its job, the extension reads information about your currently open tabs —
their titles, URLs, favicons, audio/pinned/discarded state, and last-active times.
It also reads your device's total and available system memory. This information is
used only to:

• estimate and display how much memory each tab and Chrome are using;
• group tabs by website;
• detect duplicate tabs;
• suggest idle tabs you may want to hibernate or close;
• show site icons in the list.

What is stored, and where

The extension saves the following locally on your device only, using Chrome's
storage API:

• your settings (e.g. cleanup thresholds, whitelisted domains, options);
• short-lived per-tab activity timestamps;
• a short "Recently cleaned" list so you can undo a cleanup;
• aggregate lifetime stats (tabs cleaned, estimated memory freed).

This data never leaves your browser. It is not sent anywhere, and it is not
accessible to us or any third party.

What is NOT collected

• No personal information.
• No browsing history beyond the tabs currently open in your browser.
• No data is sent to any external server.
• No advertising or analytics identifiers.

Optional permissions

• Floating widget (host access): if you enable the on-page memory widget, the
  extension is granted access to display a small overlay on pages. It does not read
  or transmit page content.
• Exact memory (processes, Chrome Dev/Canary only): if you enable this, the
  extension reads real per-tab memory from Chrome's local process API. This data is
  used only for on-screen display and never leaves your device.

Both are off by default and requested only when you turn them on.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will be revised.
