Who we are
Smart Tab Pilot is an open-source browser extension (MIT). There is no first-party cloud account and no operator backend shipped with the extension.
What the extension stores on your device
Using Chrome storage APIs only:
- Settings you choose (dedupe, hash matching, auto-group, quick search, window scope, UI language).
- Optional custom model fields: Base URL, API key, model name (
chrome.storage.sync). - Short tab summaries: title, path/slug, 1–2 sentences — never the full page body.
- Navigation-graph priors (URL patterns, not full page text).
- In-session merge/split edges and a recently closed list for optional search.
Uninstalling the extension removes this data from the profile (subject to Chrome’s own storage rules).
What is read from pages
A content script may read a compact text snapshot from http(s) pages so tasks can be named by topic, not by website brand. The in-memory extract is capped and then reduced to a short summary before anything is saved.
Restricted pages (chrome://, chrome-extension://, about:, etc.) are skipped.
Network: what leaves the device
Default / no custom model
- If Chrome Prompt API (
LanguageModel/ Gemini Nano) is available, short snippets are sent to the on-device model. That path does not use a developer-operated server. - If Nano is missing and you have not configured a custom model, grouping uses local heuristics only. No page text is uploaded.
Custom model (only if you configure it)
- You may enter an OpenAI-compatible Base URL, API key, and model name.
- The extension then POSTs short classify / same-group prompts to that URL (typically
{base}/chat/completions) with your key. - The destination is entirely user-provided. The authors do not receive a copy.
- Do not point this at an untrusted host; treat the key as a secret.
Not sent
- No analytics, advertising IDs, crash telemetry, or usage beacons appear in the source.
- No automatic call to a hardcoded Smart Tab Pilot API.
Third parties
- Google Chrome (tab/group/side-panel APIs; optional on-device Nano).
- Only if you opt in: the operator of the URL you type as Base URL.
Children
The extension is a productivity tool for browser tabs. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect children’s personal information.
Changes
If data practices change (for example a future first-party endpoint), this policy and the store listing must be updated before that version is published.
