Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy governs the data practices of the Tab & Window Monitor browser extension (the "Extension"). We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy, security, and transparency for all users.

        Our Core Principle: Tab & Window Monitor does not collect, store, track, sell, or transmit any user data, browsing history, or personal information whatsoever. All operations happen entirely locally on your device.
    

1. Information Collection and Usage

The Extension requires specific browser permissions to function effectively. Below is a transparent breakdown of why these permissions are utilized:

Tabs Permission: Used solely to monitor the number of open tabs within active browser windows in real time. This allows the Extension to enforce the configured limit and close unauthorized tabs. Your URLs, search inputs, and page contents are never read, inspected, or recorded.
Storage Permission: Used exclusively to retrieve deployment configurations (such as Group Policy Object registry keys or local configuration files) and to pass real-time open counts to the local user interface popup.
Notifications Permission: Used only to trigger a local, non-intrusive notification panel on your desktop whenever a specified tab or window threshold is achieved.

2. Data Third-Party Sharing and Transmission

Because the Extension operates completely client-side, there is no backend server infrastructure. No information is ever transmitted over the network to us, to third parties, or to any external analytical platforms. The Extension functions completely offline.

3. Enterprise Configurations (GPO / Managed Storage)

For corporate environments deploying this extension via Group Policy Objects (GPO) or Administrative Templates, configuration variables (such as maxTabs and maxWindows) are requested via the standardized, secure Chromium chrome.storage.managed pipeline. These settings remain stored within the browser's native, protected internal parameters.

4. Regulatory Compliance

Because we completely abstain from processing, collecting, or retaining any personal data, the Extension natively complies with major global data protection frameworks, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

5. Changes to This Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect minor technical or operational changes. Any structural revisions will be updated explicitly on this page and published directly alongside new version bundles on the Chrome Web Store.

6. Contact Support

If you have any questions, enterprise deployment inquiries, or code clarifications regarding this privacy policy, please contact us through the verified publisher communication channels listed on the web store entry page.
