Privacy policy.

Last updated: 16 October 2026. Smart Tab Saver is developed by JavocSoft. Questions about this policy or your information can be sent to smarttabsaver@gmail.com.

Information in the extension

The extension stores saved pages, session titles, browsing history, preferences, Quick Access pins and some recovery information in your browser. Your browser's storage is used for these local features. The extension accesses browser bookmarks only if you grant the optional bookmarks permission. It can create or delete a bookmark when you ask it to; bookmarks remain in your browser.

Some settings, including your account token and AI provider keys if supplied, are stored using Chrome's synced extension storage. Whether those settings move between devices depends on your browser's sync settings.

Optional Smart Tab Saver account sync

If you activate account synchronization, Smart Tab Saver uses your email address and account token to identify your account. Saved Sessions and Pocket entries, including their page titles and URLs, can be uploaded to the Smart Tab Saver synchronization service and downloaded on another installation. When a saved session contains Chrome tab groups, their names and colors are included so the groups can be recreated when restored. Browser bookmarks, extension history, Quick Access pins, local trash and window recovery points are not included in that upload.

Synchronization is optional. You can use the extension's local organization features without creating an account. The extension also provides session export and import for a local backup; that backup does not include your account credentials, AI keys, browser bookmarks or browsing history.

Optional AI features

AI features require a provider key you configure. If you use them, your questions and relevant saved titles, URLs or history may be sent directly to the provider you select, such as OpenAI or Perplexity. The provider processes that request under its own privacy terms. The extension stores the key in browser synced storage so it can be used for your requests.

Website and contact

When you visit this website, the hosting service can process technical request information such as your IP address, browser details and the page requested. If you submit feedback, we process your rating and optional comment to improve Smart Tab Saver. If you have an account, the extension sends your account token so the service can link the feedback to your account; the administration page then shows your account email. Without an account, you may provide an optional contact email so we can reply. That email does not create an account or subscribe you to product updates. Account activation and recovery pages use browser sessions. The public pages do not load an analytics script.

Product updates by email

If you explicitly opted in to Smart Tab Saver news, we may use your account email address to send occasional product updates. These messages are separate from account activation and recovery emails. We send updates only to activated accounts with an active news preference, using Resend to deliver the messages and manage unsubscribe requests. Every update includes an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing does not affect your account, saved sessions or service emails.

Our private administration page lets authorized staff review account status and feedback, record whether a suggestion is pending, accepted, applied, rejected or a comment requiring no action, note the extension version in which it was applied, and keep an internal review note. We do not use this page to read locally stored browser history or bookmarks.

The website links to other services, including the Chrome Web Store, JavocSoft's portfolio and Ko-fi. If you follow one of those links, that service's own privacy terms apply.

Your choices and requests

• You can use core features without account sync or AI.
• You can decline or revoke the optional bookmarks permission in your browser.
• You can manage locally saved information in the extension or remove its browser data through your browser.
• You can unsubscribe from product updates using the link in an update email.
• For questions about account information, access or removal, email smarttabsaver@gmail.com.

Security and changes

We use reasonable safeguards for information handled by the service, but no internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. We may update this policy when the product or its data handling changes. The date at the top of this page will show the latest published revision.
