ForgottenTabs is built with privacy in mind. We do not collect, sell, or share your personal data. All bookmark processing happens locally in your browser.

1. Who we are

ForgottenTabs ("we", "our", "the extension") is a Chrome browser extension that helps users rediscover their saved bookmarks by matching them against currently open pages. For questions about this policy, contact us at [email protected].

2. Data we do NOT collect

We do not collect, store, transmit, or process:

  • Your bookmarks or bookmark titles
  • Your browsing history or visited URLs
  • Any personally identifiable information
  • Cookies or tracking identifiers
  • IP addresses or device information

3. How the extension works

ForgottenTabs reads your Chrome bookmarks and compares them to the URL and title of the currently active tab. This comparison happens entirely within your browser using Chrome's built-in extension APIs. No data leaves your device as part of this process.

The extension uses the following Chrome permissions:

  • bookmarks — to read your saved bookmarks for local matching
  • tabs — to detect the URL of the currently active tab
  • notifications — to show optional Chrome notifications (if enabled)
  • storage — to save your notification preferences locally

4. Pro license and payments

If you purchase the Pro version, payment is processed by a third-party payment provider. We do not store your payment details. The only information we receive is a confirmation that a valid license has been activated. We may store your email address solely to deliver the license key and provide support.

5. Third-party services

This website (forgottentabs.com) may use Hostinger's standard web hosting infrastructure. No analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking scripts are loaded on this site or within the extension.

6. Children's privacy

ForgottenTabs is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
