Privacy Policy for Tably — Smart Tab Manager
Tably (“the Extension,” “we,” “us”) is a Chrome browser extension that helps you organize tabs, workspaces, categories, and saved browsing sessions.
This Privacy Policy explains what information the Extension accesses, how it is used, and how it is stored.
Summary
- Tably works fully offline.
- No accounts, no backend server, and no remote analytics.
- Tab and workspace data stay on your device.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties.
Information the Extension accesses
To provide its features, Tably uses Chrome APIs and may access:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Open tab titles, URLs, favicon URLs, pin/active state | Show, search, organize, and manage your tabs |
| Window and tab group information | Bind workspaces and optionally mirror categories to Chrome tab groups |
| Saved session / recovery snapshots you create | Pause, resume, and recover browsing context |
| Extension settings (theme, preferences) | Remember how you configured the Extension |
Tably handles tab URLs and titles locally on your device for tab management (workspaces, categories, search, duplicates, and session save/restore). This browsing-related data is not sent to our servers. In the Chrome Web Store Privacy Practices form, this local handling is disclosed under Web History.
Tably does not read the content of web pages (page HTML, form fields, passwords, cookies of other sites, or scroll position).
How data is stored
All extension data is stored locally on your computer using:
chrome.storage.local— workspaces, categories, tab assignments, trash, and settings- IndexedDB — saved sessions and recovery snapshots
Data is not uploaded to our servers because Tably does not operate any servers for this product.
How data is used
Local data is used only to:
- Organize tabs into workspaces and categories
- Detect duplicate tabs (on-device heuristics)
- Save, pause, resume, and recover sessions
- Power search and settings inside the Extension
- Optionally export/import a backup JSON file you choose to download or upload
Category “suggestions” use simple on-device heuristics (for example domain or title patterns). They are not sent to any AI or remote service.
Data sharing
We do not share, sell, transfer, or disclose your extension data to third parties.
The only ways data can leave your device are actions you initiate, for example:
- Exporting a backup JSON file
- Using Chrome Sync or other OS/browser backup features outside Tably’s control
- Uninstalling or clearing browser/extension storage
Permissions
Tably requests these Chrome permissions only for its single purpose (smart tab organization and safe session save/restore):
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
tabs | Read and manage open tabs |
tabGroups | Optionally mirror categories to Chrome tab groups |
storage | Save workspaces, categories, settings, and assignments locally |
unlimitedStorage | Raise the local storage quota so larger amounts of on-device data can be kept in chrome.storage.local (workspaces, assignments, trash, settings) and so related local capacity is not blocked when users manage many tabs; session and recovery payloads are stored in IndexedDB on the same device |
alarms | Periodic cleanup of expired trash items |
sidePanel | Optional side panel UI |
Tably does not request host permissions to inject scripts into websites.
Children’s privacy
Tably is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If this Privacy Policy changes in a material way, we will update the “Last updated” date and, when required, update the Chrome Web Store listing disclosures.
