Parking helps you save (“park”) tabs into groups so you can come back later. Parking stores your saved groups and links locally in your browser using Chrome’s extension storage. Parking does not require an account and does not run its own servers.
Parking stores the following data on your device (Chrome extension storage):
Saved tab data (Web history): page URL, page title, favicon URL (if available), and timestamps such as when the tab was parked and last opened.
Groups: group names, the order of groups, which group is selected, and last modified time.
UI state: last time the extension popup was opened (used to set badge staleness color).
Temporary session state: a map of which parked items are currently open (stored in Chrome session storage and resets when the browser/session ends).
Parking does not store passwords, form data, messages, or the content of webpages.
To provide core features (park/open/search/group tabs), Parking may access:
The current active tab (to park it)
Your open tabs and windows (to show counts and detect which parked tabs are already open)
Tab Groups (to group reopened tabs under the same group name)
This access is used only to perform the extension’s tab-management functions.
Parking can read clipboard text only when you choose a paste action (e.g., clicking “Paste URL” or pasting into the popup). It uses the clipboard text to park a URL if it’s a valid http/https link. Parking does not store or transmit clipboard contents except the URL you explicitly save.
Parking does not send your saved tab database to any server.
However, Parking may load favicon images to display icons next to saved links. In the current version, icons may be fetched using a favicon service (for example, https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?...) or the site-provided favicon URL. When an icon is fetched, the request may reveal:
The domain of a site whose icon is being requested, and
Your device’s standard network info (like IP address), as with any web request.
These requests are used only to display icons in the UI.
Parking does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
Parking uses the data it stores/accesses only to:
Save tabs into groups
Display parked tabs and let you search them
Reopen parked tabs and optionally group them in Chrome Tab Groups
Update the extension badge count and staleness indicator
Parking does not sell user data and does not use data for advertising.
Parking does not sell user data. Parking does not share user data with third parties except as needed to load favicon images (described above) as part of the extension’s single purpose (displaying saved tabs cleanly).
Saved groups and tabs remain on your device until you delete them in the extension UI or uninstall the extension.
Uninstalling the extension removes locally stored extension data.
Session-only open-tab tracking resets when your browser session ends.
Parking stores data using Chrome’s extension storage on your device. No system is perfect, but Parking is designed to keep your data local and minimize exposure.
