Overview

TabSnap is a browser extension that helps you save and manage browser tab sessions. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

Data Collection

What We DON'T Collect

• Personal information (name, email, etc.)
• Browsing history or habits
• Tab URLs or page contents (beyond local storage)
• Analytics or usage statistics
• Any data sent to external servers (except optional AI features)

What We Store Locally

The following data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API:

• Saved Sessions: Tab URLs, titles, and favicons for sessions you explicitly save
• Snoozed Tabs: URLs and wake times for tabs you snooze
• Settings: Your preferences (theme, auto-save setting)
• API Key: If you choose to enable AI features, your Claude API key is stored locally

AI Features (Optional)

TabSnap offers optional AI-powered features that require a Claude API key. If you enable these features:

• Your API key is stored locally and never sent to our servers
• Tab titles and URLs are sent directly to Anthropic's API for processing
• Communication happens directly between your browser and Anthropic
• We do not intercept, store, or have access to this data

For information about how Anthropic handles data, please review Anthropic's Privacy Policy.

Data Storage & Security

• All data is stored locally using Chrome's built-in storage APIs
• Data never leaves your device (except for optional AI API calls)
• You can export your data anytime using the Export feature
• You can delete all data using the "Clear All Data" option in Settings
• Uninstalling the extension removes all stored data

Permissions Explained

TabSnap requests the following permissions:
