Effective date: August 8, 2026.
TidyTabs is a Chrome extension that manages your open tabs: it closes duplicates, closes idle tabs past a limit you set, caps tabs per window by parking overflow into a restorable list, and protects pages you mark as kept.
Nothing. TidyTabs has no account system, no server, and no analytics. It never transmits your browsing data anywhere.
To do its job, TidyTabs keeps working data in your browser's local extension storage on your device only:
This data never leaves your browser. Deleting the extension deletes it.
Site icons shown in the popup load from Chrome's local favicon cache, or from the site's own icon address as reported by the tab. No icon request identifies you to us; we run no servers.
When you uninstall TidyTabs, Chrome opens a page on this website where you can optionally tell us why. The extension sends nothing itself; uninstalling deletes everything it stored.
tidytabs.dev (this website, not the extension) uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages get read. The extension itself contains no analytics of any kind. Analytics data is retained for 14 months. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
If TidyTabs's data practices ever change, this policy will be updated before the change ships, and the extension's store listing will disclose it.
