Privacy policy: GrimTabs
GrimTabs is a notes and task board in Chrome's side panel. It keeps your notes in sections (Do not forget, To do, Started, Finished and Personal notes), with items, checklists, reminders, an archive and backups.
In short: I do not collect, store or see any of your information. Everything you put in GrimTabs stays in your own Chrome profile.
Information I collect
None. GrimTabs has no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no tracking and no advertising. It does not send anything to me, and I have no server that receives data from it.
Information stored in your Chrome profile
GrimTabs saves the following in Chrome's own extension storage so your board is there when you come back:
- Your notes, items, checklists, reminders, templates, users and settings. These use Chrome's sync storage, so if you have Chrome Sync turned on, Chrome may copy them to your other devices through your Google account.
- Your archive of finished notes, and the date of your last backup, stored on this computer only.
I cannot see any of this. You can delete notes inside GrimTabs at any time, and removing the extension from Chrome deletes everything it stored.
Saving a web page
When you press "Save this page" or "Add this page", GrimTabs reads the title and address of the tab you are on and saves them into your note. This only happens when you press one of those buttons. GrimTabs does not read any other tab, does not read the content of pages and does not keep a browsing history.
Reminders
Reminders are scheduled by Chrome on your computer and shown as Chrome notifications. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Backups and spreadsheet exports
Back up to a file and Export to a spreadsheet save a file to your own computer. GrimTabs does not upload these files anywhere.
Sharing and selling
I do not sell, rent, share or transfer any user data, and I do not use any data for advertising, profiling, credit checks or anything unrelated to the extension's features.
Permissions the extension uses
- Side panel: to show GrimTabs beside the page you are on.
- Storage: to save your notes, items, settings and archive in your Chrome profile.
- Alarms: to schedule your reminders and snooze times.
- Notifications: to show a reminder when a note is due.
- Tabs: to read the title and address of the current tab, only when you press "Save this page" or "Add this page".
Changes to this policy
If the extension's handling of data changes, I will update this page and the date at the top.
