Privacy policy

Last updated: 7 November 2026

Short version: what happens in rehab stays in rehab. Tab Rehab, the Chrome extension, does not collect, send, sell or share any of your data. There are no accounts, no servers, no analytics and no telemetry.

What the extension reads

To show your dashboard, Tab Rehab reads your open tabs (title, address, icon and when you last looked at them) through Chrome's extension APIs. When you choose to save tabs as bookmarks, it writes to your bookmarks in the folder you pick.

What it stores, and where

Parked tab lists, snoozed tabs, to-dos, settings, a log of tabs Tab Rehab closed for you, and daily counts for the Recovery view (how many tabs you had, closed, parked and restored each day) are stored only on your device, in Chrome's local extension storage. The Recovery counts are numbers only, without addresses.

What it sends

Nothing. Tab Rehab makes no network requests. Your tabs and addresses never leave your computer. Bookmarks you create are ordinary Chrome bookmarks, so if you have Chrome sync turned on, Google syncs them like any other bookmark.

Your control

You can export everything as a JSON file at any time (Export backup) and delete any item from the dashboard. Removing the extension deletes all of its stored data.

Changes and contact

If this ever changes, this page will say so before the extension does. Tab Rehab is open source, so you can check the code yourself on GitHub. Questions: open an issue there.
