Privacy Policy for Tab Auto Grouper

Last updated: July 2026

Tab Auto Grouper is a Chrome extension that automatically groups, sorts, and deduplicates browser tabs based on rules you configure. This page explains how the extension handles your data.

What data is read

To classify your tabs, the extension reads the URL and title of your open browser tabs and compares them against the grouping rules you have configured (domains, URL substrings, or title keywords).

Where this happens

All of this matching happens entirely on your device, inside the extension itself. Nothing is sent over the network.

What is not collected

Tab Auto Grouper does not collect, transmit, store remotely, sell, or share any of the following with any third party, including the developer:

• Your browsing history or tab contents
• Personally identifiable information
• Usage analytics or telemetry of any kind

What is stored, and where

Your grouping rules and settings (for example, group colors, group position, and duplicate-detection mode) are stored locally on your device using Chrome's chrome.storage.local API. This data is not synced to any external server by this extension and is not accessible to the developer.

If you use the extension's Export settings feature, a JSON file containing your rules is saved to your own computer. This file is created and controlled entirely by you; the extension does not upload it anywhere.

Permissions used

• tabs — to read tab URLs/titles for rule matching, and to move/organize tabs.
• tabGroups — to create, update, and reposition Chrome tab groups.
• storage — to save your rules and settings locally.
