SessionFlow Privacy Policy

Introduction

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting any data that might be handled by our SessionFlow extension. This policy explains our practices regarding data collection, usage, and protection for our tab and session management extension.

Information We Process (Not Collect)

When using the extension, we temporarily process:

• Tab information (URLs, titles, favicons) from your browser sessions
• Tab group data (names, colors, organization)
• Session metadata (creation dates, names, modification times)
• Browser window arrangements and tab positions
• Pinned tab status and browser state information

Important Note: While we process this information to provide the extension’s functionality, we do not collect, store, or retain any of this data on our servers. All processing and storage happens locally in your browser using Chrome’s storage APIs. For Premium users who opt into cloud synchronization, data is encrypted and stored securely with your explicit consent.

How We Use the Information

The processed information is used solely for:

• Saving and restoring tab sessions upon your explicit request
• Organizing and managing your browser tabs and sessions
• Providing search and filtering capabilities across saved sessions
• Enabling session comparison, merging, and export functionality
• Automatically grouping tabs based on your preferences (Premium feature)
• Auto-saving sessions at scheduled intervals (Premium feature)

Permissions We Request and Their Usage

The extension requests the following permissions:

• tabs: To access and manage your browser tabs for session saving and restoration
• storage: To store your saved sessions and extension preferences locally
• tabGroups: To preserve and restore tab group organization

Host Permissions

The extension requires:

Data Protection

We implement several measures to protect your privacy:

1. Local Storage First: All session data is stored locally in your browser by default
2. No Unauthorized Data Collection: We never collect browsing data without your explicit action to save a session
3. No Tracking: We do not use analytics or tracking tools to monitor your browsing behavior
4. Minimal Data Access: We only access tab information when you actively use session management features

Information Sharing

We do not:

• Collect or sell any user data to third parties
• Share session information with external services
• Use any analytics or tracking tools for user monitoring
• Access your browsing data outside of session management functionality
• Store personal information beyond what’s necessary for session functionality
