Privacy Policy

Tabixo (“the extension”) is a browser extension that turns your open tabs into a lightweight, organised list. This policy explains what data the extension processes and how.

Data processed by Tabixo

• Tabs you choose to save: the URL and title of the tabs you archive.
• Content you create: group names, notes, favourites, colours, and order.
• Preferences: language, theme, and sort/filter options.
• Site icons (favicons): shown via Chrome's built-in local favicon cache.
• Automatic backups: up to three rotating copies of your own list, created by the extension on your device (see below).

Where data is stored

All of the above is stored locally in your browser via the Chrome storage API (chrome.storage.local), on your device. This data stays on your machine. It is not synced to your Google account and is not accessible to the developer. A few interface preferences (theme, sort order, which groups are collapsed) are kept in the extension page's local storage; losing them would only reset the display, never your saved tabs.

Automatic backups

To protect you against accidental loss, Tabixo keeps up to three rotating copies of your list. A copy is taken periodically (roughly every 12 hours, and only if your list has actually changed), and just before an action that would overwrite your data, such as “Delete all groups” or restoring a backup. The oldest copy is recycled, so the number of copies never grows beyond three.

These backups are ordinary local storage entries on your device, subject to exactly the same rules as the rest of your data: nothing is uploaded, nothing is readable by the developer. Because they live inside the extension, they are deleted along with everything else when you uninstall it. A JSON export is the only copy that survives.

What Tabixo does NOT do

• Does not send any data to the developer or an external server.
• Does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking.
• Does not sell or share your data with third parties.
• Does not read the content of the pages you visit. The extension only accesses the URL and title of the tabs you explicitly archive, and opens the tabs you choose to restore.

Permissions

• tabs: read the URL and title of tabs when you archive them, and reopen them during a restore.
• storage / unlimitedStorage: save your lists, groups, notes, and preferences locally.
• favicon: display the icon of each saved site from Chrome's local cache (no external request).
• alarms: schedule the periodic automatic backup described above. It only triggers work inside your browser; it involves no network activity.

Import / Export

You can export your lists to a JSON file and re-import them. These files are created and read locally by you; Tabixo does not upload them anywhere.

Uninstall page and optional survey

When you uninstall Tabixo, Chrome opens a page on our website (tabixo.com/uninstall.html). The extension only passes its own version number in the address (for example ?v=1.3.0). None of your tabs, groups, or settings are included, and by that point the extension's data has already been removed from your browser.

That page offers a short, entirely optional survey. Nothing is sent unless you pick a reason and press the send button. If you do, we receive: the reason you selected, an optional free-text message, the extension version, and your browser's language setting. We do not ask for your name, your email address, or any account identifier, and the page sets no tracking cookie. The submission is delivered to the developer by Web3Forms, the same form service used by our contact page. Since the free-text field is yours to fill, please avoid typing personal information into it.

You can simply close the tab, and nothing at all is sent.

Data retention and deletion

Your data stays until you delete it. You can remove tabs or groups, use “Delete all groups”, or uninstall the extension. Uninstalling removes all locally stored data, including the automatic backups; if you want to keep a copy, export it to a JSON file first. Survey responses, when you choose to send one, are kept only as long as needed to act on the feedback.

Children

Tabixo is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children.

Changes

This policy may be updated; the effective date above will be changed accordingly.
