Effective Date: 26.02.2026
Your privacy is our primary concern. This Privacy Policy outlines how the ChubbyTabs browser extension ("the Extension") handles your information.
1. Data Storage and Local-First Architecture
ChubbyTabs is built on a strict "local-first" architecture. All of your data is stored exclusively on your own device.
This includes:
* The URLs of tabs you save (Workspaces).
* Any text or image clippings you save from web pages.
* Your notes and tasks.
* Your automation rules and extension settings.
We utilize the browser's native chrome.storage.local API and IndexedDB to keep your data on your machine. We do not use, maintain, or have access to any cloud servers or
databases to store your Workspace data.
2. Data Collection and Transmission
We do not collect, transmit, or monitor your data.
Because all data remains on your local device, the developers of ChubbyTabs have absolutely no access to your browsing history, saved tabs, notes, or clippings. The Extension
does not employ analytics trackers, telemetry, or user-behavior tracking of any kind.
3. Permissions Explained
To function as a workspace and session manager, the Extension requests certain browser permissions. Here is exactly why they are needed:
* Storage / IndexedDB: To save your workspaces, notes, and settings locally on your machine.
* Tabs: To save your open URLs into a workspace, and to open them when you load a workspace.
* Side Panel / Context Menus: To provide the notepad UI and the right-click "Clip to Workspace" tools.
* Downloads / Page Capture: To allow you to export your data for backups and save webpages as offline archives.
* Alarms / Notifications: To trigger your scheduled automations, automated backups, and provide UI feedback.
4. Pro Tier and Third-Party Services
If you choose to upgrade to ChubbyTabs Pro, payment processing and license management are handled by a secure third-party Merchant of Record (Lemon Squeezy).
* When you activate a license, the Extension communicates solely with Lemon Squeezy's API (api.lemonsqueezy.com) to verify the validity of your license key.
* The Extension does not handle, process, or store your payment information (like credit card numbers).
* Please refer to Lemon Squeezy's Privacy Policy regarding how they handle the data associated with your purchase.
5. Your Control
Because your data belongs entirely to you and lives only on your device, you have complete control over it.
* Export: You can export all your data to a JSON file at any time via the Dashboard.
* Deletion: Deleting a Workspace permanently removes it from your local storage.
* Uninstalling: If you uninstall the ChubbyTabs extension, the browser will automatically delete all local storage associated with it, permanently erasing your data (unless
you have exported a backup).
6. Changes to This Policy
If we add new features that significantly change how data is handled (for example, introducing an optional cloud-sync feature in the future), we will update this Privacy
Policy and clearly communicate those changes.
