Summary

Tab Cleaner processes everything inside your browser and sends no data anywhere. It has no servers, no accounts, no analytics and no tracking. The developer never receives your tabs, your browsing history or your settings.

This policy applies to the Tab Cleaner extension for Google Chrome, published by Emilio Servetti.

Information the extension uses

To do its job, Tab Cleaner reads information about your open tabs:

• Address (URL) and title of each tab, to detect duplicates and show closed tabs in the history.
• Time of last use, to detect tabs that have been inactive for the time you set.
• Site icon (favicon), to show it next to each tab in the history. The browser may load these icons from the websites themselves, as it does in its own tab bar.
• Tab state (pinned, playing audio, in a group, loading), to avoid closing tabs that should stay open.

The extension does not read the content of the pages you visit, your passwords, form data or cookies.

Where data is stored

All data stays on your device, in the browser's local extension storage:

• Settings: your preferences, such as inactivity time and protected sites. Kept until you change them or uninstall the extension.
• Closed tabs history: URL, title, icon, closing time and reason for the last 100 closed tabs. Older entries are deleted automatically.
• Session data: recently reopened tabs and dismissed AI suggestions. Deleted automatically when you close the browser.

This data is not synced to your Google account or any other device.

AI suggestions

AI suggestions are optional and run entirely on your device, using the AI model built into Google Chrome. Tab Cleaner does not use any online AI service.

To generate suggestions, the extension gives the on-device model the title, site address and time since last use of some of your open tabs. This information is processed locally and is not sent to the developer or to any external service by Tab Cleaner.

The model itself is provided and downloaded by Google Chrome, not by Tab Cleaner. Its download and operation are governed by Google's privacy policy.
