📄 Smart Tab Hibernator — Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 9, 2026

Smart Tab Hibernator is built with a strict, absolute commitment to user privacy. This extension is designed to operate entirely client-side, serving solely as a local utility to optimize your browser memory efficiency.

1. Data Collection and Transmission
   Smart Tab Hibernator does not collect, store, track, monitor, or transmit any personal data, browsing histories, or technical interaction metrics.

• No External Servers: The extension has zero remote server dependencies. It does not communicate with any external APIs, analytics tracking frameworks, or third-party networks.

• No Browsing Activity Logging: While the extension utilizes native browser APIs (browser.tabs) to locate and discard inactive, idle background pages to reclaim local device RAM, it does not record, log, or save the URLs, titles, or page contents of the websites you visit.

1. Local Storage Usage
   The extension uses the browser's local sandbox storage (browser.storage.local) exclusively to save your chosen preferences (such as your preferred timer interval or maximum tab threshold limit). This preference configuration file remains isolated on your hard drive and is never shared, synced externally, or exposed to third parties.
2. Deep Asset and Cache Clearing
   When background hibernation triggers, the extension utilizes the native browser.browsingData API to clear service workers, site-specific background script caches, and temporary media assets belonging to the sleeping tab. This cleanup process is executed locally via your browser engine to maximize performance gains. It does not access, modify, or clear your private user session tokens, login cookies, or persistent history files.
3. Changes to This Policy
   Because this extension is fundamentally designed with zero tracking or remote data capabilities, this privacy model is permanent. Should future updates introduce local functionality features requiring configuration changes, this document will be revised transparently on this product page.
4. Contact Information
   If you have any questions or structural code feedback regarding the offline mechanics of this extension, you can reach out directly via the developer contact options listed on this Add-on dashboard page.
