Privacy Policy

1. Summary

Tab Harbor is designed to work locally in the browser.

• It does not require a user account.
• It does not sell user data.
• It does not use remote code.
• It does not send workspace data to a developer-controlled backend.

Most extension data is stored locally through Chrome extension storage APIs.

2. Information the extension accesses

To provide its core features, Tab Harbor may access the following categories of data:

• Open tab metadata, including tab titles, URLs, and tab state
• Quick links created by the user
• Saved read-later items created by the user
• Todo items created by the user
• Theme, transparency, layout, and ordering preferences selected by the user
• Clipboard image or SVG content, but only when the user explicitly pastes a custom shortcut icon

Tab Harbor does not intentionally collect sensitive categories such as health data, financial account credentials, or personal communications.

3. How the data is used

Tab Harbor uses the accessed data only to provide the extension’s single purpose:

• Show and organize the user’s current browser session in the new tab page
• Help the user review, group, focus, close, deduplicate, save, and restore tabs
• Let the user manage quick links, saved reads, and lightweight todos in one workspace
• Restore user preferences and layout state when the new tab page is opened again
• Let the user paste a custom icon into a shortcut when they explicitly choose to do so

Tab Harbor does not use this data for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness, or unrelated analytics.

4. Chrome permissions and why they are needed

Tab Harbor requests the following Chrome permissions:

tabs

• display open tabs in the workspace
• group tabs by site or workflow
• focus a selected tab
• close or deduplicate tabs at the user’s request
• save or restore tabs as part of the read-later workflow

storage

• save quick links, saved reads, todos, theme settings, layout order, and other local workspace preferences

search

• let the user submit searches from the built-in search field through the browser’s default search engine

clipboardRead

• let the user explicitly paste an image or SVG into the shortcut editor for a custom shortcut icon

5. Data storage and retention

Tab Harbor stores extension data locally using Chrome extension storage APIs, primarily chrome.storage.local.

This includes items such as quick links, saved reads, todos, theme preferences, and layout state.

This data remains in the browser profile until the user removes it through the extension UI, clears extension storage, or uninstalls the extension.

6. Data sharing

Tab Harbor does not sell user data.

Tab Harbor does not transfer user data to third parties except where necessary to perform a user-requested browser action, such as opening a page chosen by the user or submitting a search through the browser’s default search engine.

Aside from those normal browser actions initiated by the user, Tab Harbor does not send workspace data to a developer-controlled remote service.

7. Remote code

Tab Harbor does not use remote code.

All JavaScript and extension assets required to run the extension are packaged with the extension bundle. Tab Harbor does not download and execute external JavaScript or WebAssembly at runtime.

8. Third-party services

Tab Harbor relies on Chrome’s extension platform APIs to function.

When a user opens a webpage or submits a search through the extension, the browser may connect to the destination website or the configured default search engine as part of the user’s explicit action.

9. User choices and controls

Users can control their data by editing or deleting quick links, deleting saved reads or todos, changing theme and layout preferences, uninstalling the extension, or clearing extension storage through browser settings.

If you do not want Tab Harbor to access your open tabs, do not use the extension.

10. Children’s privacy

Tab Harbor is not directed to children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect product changes, permission changes, or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published at the public URL associated with the extension listing.
