Conscious Tabs is a browser extension that helps you find, organise, and
close your open tabs from the browser side panel. This policy explains what
the extension does and does not do with your information.
The short version. Conscious Tabs runs entirely on your
own device. It does not collect, store on any server,
transmit, share, or sell your data. There are no accounts, no analytics,
no trackers, no cookies, and no remote servers. Your tabs never leave your
browser.
What the extension accesses
To show and manage your tabs, Conscious Tabs reads information that your
browser already holds about your open tabs and tab groups — such as tab
titles, URLs, favicons, and whether a tab is playing audio, pinned, or
active. This information is used only to render the
side-panel interface and to carry out the actions you ask for. It is held in
memory while the panel is open and is not written to any storage or sent
anywhere.
Permissions and why they are needed
sidePanel — Renders the extension's interface in the browser side panel.
tabs — Lists, searches, and acts on your open tabs (activate, mute, pin, duplicate, reload, move, and close).
tabGroups — Mirrors and manages Chrome tab groups (collapse, rename, recolour, group, and ungroup).
sessions — Restores a recently closed tab when you use the Undo action. Restoration is performed by your browser; the extension does not keep its own history of closed tabs.
What we do not do
We do not collect or transmit any personal or browsing data.
We do not use analytics, advertising, tracking, or fingerprinting.
We do not use cookies or external servers.
We do not sell or share your data with anyone.
Data retention
Conscious Tabs stores no data of its own. Nothing is retained after you
close the side panel, beyond the tab and session state that your browser
maintains independently of this extension.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this page
with a revised effective date.
