AI-powered tab manager and session memory.
Last updated: April 8, 2026

Support page: /support/tabmind
2. Chrome Web Store Limited Use disclosure
TabMind's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs (and any other browser-provided user data) adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- We only use user data to provide and improve the user-facing features of TabMind.
- We do not sell user data to third parties.
- We do not use user data for advertising, including retargeting, personalized or interest-based advertising.
- We do not allow humans to read user data, except (a) with your explicit consent, (b) for security investigations, or (c) to comply with applicable law.
3. Permissions we request
| Permission | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| tabs | Read tab titles and URLs across your windows so TabMind can group, summarize, and search them. |
| storage | Save your saved sessions, group rules, and Pro subscription state in chrome.storage.local on your device. |
| tabGroups | Programmatically create and update Chrome tab groups when you accept a TabMind suggestion. |
| activeTab | Read full page content of the active tab only when you explicitly click "Summarize this tab". |
| host_permissions: <all_urls> | Required to read tab titles and URLs across all your tabs (TabMind's core feature). Page content is never read unless you click Summarize. |
| host_permissions: api.toolsmith.visualab-ai.com | Send AI summarization / grouping requests to our Cloudflare Workers proxy, which forwards to the Anthropic Claude API. |
4. Data flow — what leaves your browser
| Data | Destination | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tab titles and URLs (across open windows) | Cloudflare Workers proxy → Anthropic Claude API | Suggest groups, label sessions | Not stored server-side; passed through in real time |
| Page text (only when you click "Summarize this tab") | Cloudflare Workers proxy → Anthropic Claude API | Generate the summary | Not stored server-side |
| Saved sessions and group rules | Your browser only (chrome.storage.local) | Restore sessions, remember groupings | Until you uninstall or delete the session |
| Google account email (Pro users only) | ExtensionPay / Stripe | Verify Pro subscription | Until you cancel and request deletion |
| Anonymous events (e.g. "session_saved", "tabs_count_bucket") | PostHog | Aggregate analytics, no PII | 12 months |
Note: TabMind requires <all_urls>
because Chrome's tabs permission only exposes URLs of tabs on hosts you have permission for.
We never read page content from any tab unless you explicitly click "Summarize this tab" — only titles and URLs are processed for grouping.
5. Third-party sub-processors
TabMind may transmit data to the following sub-processors:
- Anthropic, PBC — Claude API, used to generate AI responses. Anthropic does not use API inputs/outputs to train models by default. Privacy policy.
- Cloudflare, Inc. — Workers used as a secure proxy in front of the AI API (rate limiting, key protection). Logs are kept for up to 7 days for abuse prevention only. Privacy policy.
- ExtensionPay / Stripe, Inc. — Subscription billing for Pro features. We never see full card numbers. ExtensionPay / Stripe.
- PostHog Inc. — Anonymous, aggregated product analytics. IP addresses are anonymized and no personally identifying information is sent. Privacy policy.
6. Where your data is stored
- On your device: Settings, history, and preferences are stored in
chrome.storage.local. This data never leaves your browser unless you explicitly export it. - In transit: AI requests pass through Cloudflare Workers (US/EU edge) to the Anthropic API (US).
- Billing: Stripe stores payment data in accordance with PCI-DSS in the US/EU.
- Analytics: PostHog stores anonymous events for up to 12 months.
7. How to delete your data
- Local data: Open the TabMind options page and click "Reset all data", or uninstall the extension from
chrome://extensions. - Subscription data: Email [email protected] with subject "Account Deletion" — we will remove your ExtensionPay record within 30 days.
- Analytics: Anonymous PostHog events cannot be tied to a specific user, but you can opt out from the extension settings.
8. Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)
If you are in the EU/EEA (GDPR) or California (CCPA), you have the right to access, correct, delete, port, and restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to processing or withdraw consent at any time. Email [email protected] to exercise any of these rights. We respond within 30 days.
9. Children's privacy
TabMind is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of TabMind after changes constitutes acceptance.
