Tab Reminder - Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 27, 2024
Simple Summary: Tab Reminder does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Everything stays on your device.
Information We Don't Collect
Tab Reminder does not collect any personal information, including but not limited to:
- Your browsing history
- Personal information or credentials
- Usage analytics or statistics
- Website content or data
- Any data about the websites you visit
Local Data Storage
The extension stores reminder data locally on your device using Chrome's storage API. This includes:
- Reminder messages you create
- Reminder times and dates
- Associated tab information (URL and title)
This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any servers.
Host Permission Usage
Tab Reminder requests access to all websites (<all_urls>) solely to display reminder overlays when reminders trigger. The extension:
- Does NOT read, modify, or collect any website content
- Does NOT track your browsing activity
- Only injects content scripts to show reminder overlays
- Only activates when displaying a reminder you set
The broad permission is necessary because users can set reminders on any website, and the extension must be able to show reminder overlays when returning to those tabs.
Permissions Usage
Tab Reminder requests the following permissions solely for functionality:
- tabs: To identify and switch to tabs when reminders trigger
- alarms: To schedule reminders at specified times
- storage: To save reminder data locally on your device
- activeTab: To display reminder overlays on the current tab
- notifications: To show backup notifications when needed
- <all_urls>: To inject reminder overlays on any website where you set a reminder
Data Security
Since no data is collected or transmitted, there are no external security risks. All reminder data is stored securely using Chrome's built-in storage mechanisms and is only accessible by the extension itself.
Data Deletion
You can delete all extension data at any time by:
- Removing the extension from Chrome
- Clearing browser data and selecting "Extensions"
- Cancelling individual reminders through the extension interface
Third-Party Services
Tab Reminder does not use any third-party services, analytics, or tracking tools.
Changes to This Policy
If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date. Since the extension does not collect data, privacy policy changes would only relate to clarifications of our existing practices.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, you can contact us through the Chrome Web Store.
Bottom Line: Tab Reminder is designed with privacy in mind. No data collection, no tracking, no analytics - just simple, local reminder functionality that respects your privacy.
