Privacy & permissions
Your saved content belongs in your browser. You decide what else gets access.
What stays local
Boards, groups, links, notes, tasks, your local profile and preferences are stored in this Chrome profile. Tabplate does not sell them or upload them to a Tabplate data server. There is no account-based sync or analytics integration in the extension.
Optional means optional
| Access | Why | When |
|---|---|---|
| Storage / favicon | Save the workspace and use browser favicons | Basic extension access |
| Tabs | Save tabs and mirror the current window’s rail | When you use a tab feature |
| History | Build groups from frequent sites | When you start history-based Magic/Lucky |
| Website access | Fetch icons directly from sites | Only after explicit opt-in |
Opening the first-run offer does not itself read your history. When an empty board is visible and history access already exists, Lucky may make a bounded local availability check. Import begins when you start it.
Your controls
You can revoke permissions through Tabplate or Chrome, disable website icon fetching, export your data and clear local content. Turning fetching off aborts application requests, clears its fetched-icon cache and asks Chrome to remove the optional website access. A request already received by a server cannot be undone.
Local is not a vault
The application does not add its own encryption at rest. Device security, browser profiles and downloaded backup files remain your responsibility. Deleting an item can leave a recoverable copy in trash or local snapshots until those are removed.
