Smart Tab Deduplicator is a Chrome extension that finds and removes duplicate browser tabs. This page explains exactly what data the extension touches, what it does with it, and what it does not do.
Nothing. The extension does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal information, browsing history, analytics, telemetry, or usage data. There are no accounts, no logins, and no remote servers operated by us.
To detect duplicate tabs, the extension reads the following from your browser, on your device only:
tabs permission).This information is used in-memory to compare tabs and never leaves your device.
Your settings (matching rules, behavior on duplicate, whitelist, etc.) are stored using chrome.storage.sync. This is Google's built-in extension storage; if you are signed into Chrome with sync enabled, Chrome may sync these settings between your own devices. We do not have access to that storage.
The extension does not request host_permissions and never injects scripts into web pages.
The extension does not contact any third-party service. The only outbound link is an optional PayPal donate button on the options page, which opens PayPal in a new tab if (and only if) you click it. PayPal's own privacy policy applies to anything you do on their site.
The extension is not directed at children and does not knowingly process any data from children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at the same URL with a new "Last updated" date.
Questions or concerns: open an issue on the extension's repository, or contact the publisher email associated with the Chrome Web Store listing.
