PageKeeper Privacy Policy

PAGEKEEPER PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: 17 July 2026

1. Overview

PageKeeper is a Chrome extension that helps keep user-selected tabs active and reduces interruptions caused by page inactivity, pausing and automatic tab discarding.

PageKeeper handles a limited amount of information locally to provide this functionality. No user data is sent to the developer, sold, used for advertising or shared with unrelated third parties.

2. Information handled by PageKeeper

When a user explicitly enables PageKeeper on a tab, the extension temporarily handles:

• The website origin, such as https://example.com
• The title of the protected tab
• Chrome’s internal identifier for the tab
• The protection methods and timing selected by the user
• The selected automatic stopping time
• Operational information such as pulse counts, method status, warnings and errors

The website origin and tab title fall within the Chrome Web Store’s web-history data category. PageKeeper only handles this information for tabs on which the user explicitly enables protection. It does not access or create a record of the user’s complete browsing history.

3. How this information is used

The information is used solely to:

• Apply the selected protection methods to the correct tab
• Keep every protected tab’s settings independent
• Display protected tabs in the PageKeeper dashboard
• Show operational status and diagnostics
• Stop temporary protection when its selected duration expires
• Restore protection after Chrome suspends the extension’s background service worker

This information is not used for profiling, advertising, analytics or any unrelated purpose.

4. Local storage and retention

PageKeeper stores its temporary state using Chrome’s extension session storage on the user’s device.

The information is not synchronised to a Google account and is not transmitted to the developer. Closing a protected tab removes the information associated with that tab. Session information is also cleared when Chrome restarts or when the extension is disabled, reloaded, updated or removed.

5. Optional same-site HTTPS request

If the user explicitly enables the HTTPS server keep-alive method, PageKeeper sends a HEAD request to the same website already open in the protected tab.

Applicable cookies belonging to that website may be included automatically by Chrome. PageKeeper does not read, store or receive those cookies. The request is sent only to the website the user already has open and is not sent to the developer or an unrelated third party.

The request does not upload page content to PageKeeper and does not use a developer-controlled server.

6. Activity and website content

PageKeeper may generate a single synthetic mouse-movement event as an activity pulse. It does not monitor, record or collect the user’s actual mouse movements, clicks, scrolling, form entries or keystrokes.

PageKeeper does not collect website text, images, videos, messages, form contents, passwords, payment details or other page content.

7. Analytics, advertising and tracking

PageKeeper contains:

• No analytics
• No telemetry
• No advertising
• No tracking technology
• No user accounts
• No developer-controlled data collection server

The developer cannot view users’ protected tabs, browsing information, settings or diagnostics.

8. Data sharing and sale

PageKeeper does not sell, rent or share user data.

Information handled by the extension is used only to provide its user-facing tab-protection functionality. It is not transferred for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness, lending or other unrelated purposes.

9. User control

PageKeeper is off by default.

Users choose which tabs to protect and which protection methods to enable. Protection can be stopped at any time from the extension popup or Protected Tabs dashboard. Closing a tab removes the temporary information stored for that tab.

Users can remove all PageKeeper data by restarting Chrome or uninstalling the extension.

10. Chrome Web Store Limited Use compliance

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

PageKeeper uses information obtained through Chrome APIs only to provide and maintain its disclosed, user-facing tab-protection functionality.

11. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if PageKeeper’s functionality or data practices change. Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
