This Privacy Policy describes how the 21 Tab Chrome extension ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your data.
Information We Collect:
21 Tab collects the following types of information:
Bookmarks: We request permission to access your bookmarks to display and manage them within the extension. This allows you to conveniently access your saved websites from the new tab page. We do not transmit your bookmark data to any external servers or third parties. Your bookmarks remain on your local device.
Extension Settings: We store your extension settings, such as your chosen theme, background image (if uploaded), and enabled/disabled effects, using the browser's "storage" permission. This allows us to personalize your experience and maintain your preferences across browsing sessions. This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to any external servers.
How We Use Your Information:
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
Providing Core Functionality: Access to your bookmarks allows us to display them in the extension's sidebar and provide a convenient way for you to access and manage them. Storing your settings enables us to customize the new tab page according to your preferences.
Personalization: We use your stored settings to personalize your new tab experience, including applying your chosen theme, background, and effects.
Information Sharing:
We do not share your personal information, including your bookmarks or extension settings, with any third-party services, advertisers, or other entities. All data is stored locally on your device.
Data Security:
We take reasonable measures to protect the information stored locally on your device from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, as the data is stored locally, the security of that data is also dependent on the security of your device.
Changes to this Privacy Policy:
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and we encourage you to review it periodically. Your continued use of the extension following the posting of such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

No Third-Party Sharing: Reiterate that you do not share user data with any third parties.
Permissions Explanation: Briefly explain why you need the "storage" and "bookmarks" permissions. Users appreciate transparency.
