Thank you for using Arc Tabs! This privacy policy explains what information the extension handles and why.
Your privacy is extremely important. Arc Tabs is designed to be a private and secure tool that works entirely within your browser.
Arc Tabs does NOT collect, store, transmit, or sell any of your personal data or Browse activity.
The extension requires access to certain browser information to function, but this information is never sent over the internet or shared with anyone. Here is a breakdown of what the extension does:
-
Tab Information: The extension needs to access the titles and icons of your currently open tabs. This information is used solely to display the tabs in the visual switcher UI when you use the keyboard shortcut. This information is temporary and is not logged or stored.
-
Tab History: To provide the "most recently used" functionality, the extension stores a list of recently activated tab IDs. This history is saved locally on your computer only, using the
chrome.storage.localAPI. This data is never sent anywhere and is not synced across your devices. -
User Settings: The single setting for "number of recent tabs to remember" is also stored locally on your computer using the
chrome.storage.localAPI.
The permissions requested by Arc Tabs are used only for the core functionality of the extension:
tabs&favicon: To read tab information for display in the switcher UI.storage: To save your settings and tab history locally on your device.scripting&host_permissions: To temporarily inject the visual switcher UI onto the current webpage when the shortcut is activated. The script does not read or interact with the content of the webpage.
