This policy applies to the Chrome browser extension Advanced Tab Manager (the “Extension”), published on the Chrome Web Store by Mohsin Kaleem (the “Developer”). It describes what information the Extension can access, how that information is used, and what is done with it.
None. The Extension does not collect any personally identifiable information, health information, financial information, authentication information, personal communications, location data, web browsing history, or user activity for the Developer or for any third party.
No data is sent to the Developer or to anyone else. The Extension contains no analytics SDK, no crash reporting, no tracking pixels, and no advertising code.
To perform its function — managing your open tabs — the Extension must read information about tabs that are already open in your browser. This information is processed in memory, on your device, only while the extension popup or side panel is open, and is never transmitted anywhere.
| Chrome permission | What it accesses | Why it is needed |
|---|---|---|
tabs |
Titles, URLs, and state (pinned, audible, muted) of your open tabs | To list, search, sort, deduplicate, move, close, activate, and mute tabs at your request. This is the Extension's core function. |
tabGroups |
Titles and colours of your Chrome tab groups | To create, rename, recolour, and dissolve tab groups, and to preserve groups during window balancing and session restore. |
storage |
Sessions you explicitly save; your light/dark theme preference | Saved sessions are written to Chrome's local storage on your device. The theme preference is written to Chrome sync storage, so it follows your Chrome profile if you have Chrome Sync enabled. See section 4. |
bookmarks |
Your bookmark folders | To create bookmarks and folders when you choose to bookmark tabs. The Extension does not read or export your existing bookmarks for any other purpose. |
contextMenus |
Nothing | To add right-click menu entries (close duplicate tabs, bookmark this tab, group tabs by domain). |
sidePanel |
Nothing | To display the Extension's side panel interface. |
favicon |
Site icons already cached by Chrome | To show each tab's icon. Icons are read from Chrome's own local cache, so no request is made to any website. |
The Extension requests no host permissions and injects no content scripts. It cannot read the contents of any web page, any form you fill in, or anything you type.
Sessions that you explicitly choose to save (a snapshot of the window and tab URLs at that moment) are
stored using chrome.storage.local, which resides on your own computer. They are never
uploaded to the Developer or to any third-party server.
Your theme preference (light or dark) is stored using chrome.storage.sync. If you have
Chrome Sync enabled, Google may replicate this single preference across your own signed-in Chrome
profiles, under Google's own privacy terms. This value contains no personal information.
The Developer:
The Extension's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Because nothing is transmitted, there is no server-side data to delete. Saved sessions remain on your
device until you delete them from within the Extension, or until you remove the Extension. Uninstalling
the Extension through chrome://extensions permanently deletes all of its stored data from
your device.
The Extension is a general-purpose browser utility, is not directed at children, and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this same URL with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes affecting data handling will also be noted in the Extension's Chrome Web Store listing.
