AutoRefresh is a Chrome extension that automatically refreshes the current tab at user-defined intervals.
We do not collect any personal data.
AutoRefresh operates entirely on your local device. We do not:
- Collect personal information
- Track your browsing history
- Store website content
- Use analytics or tracking tools
- Send any data to external servers
- Share any data with third parties
AutoRefresh stores:
- Scroll position (sessionStorage): Temporarily saved to restore your position after refresh. Cleared when you close the tab.
- Default interval (chrome.storage.sync): Your preferred refresh interval setting. Synced across your Chrome browsers if signed in.
This data stays in your browser and is never transmitted anywhere.
