This website (extension.craftlykit.com) is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited as part of normal hosting operations.

5. Advertising and Cookies

This website may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites, and to measure ad performance. These cookies are set by Google, not by TabVault, and do not have access to the tab data stored by the Extension.

6. Chrome Permissions

TabVault requests the following Chrome permissions: • tabs — to read the current tab's URL and title for saving • storage — to save your tab states locally on your device • scripting — to read scroll position and video timestamp from pages • host_permissions — required to inject the capture script into any page you choose to save We use these permissions only for the core functionality of saving and restoring tab states.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Your saved tab data is retained on your device until you delete it manually within the Extension, or until you uninstall the Extension. Uninstalling TabVault from Chrome removes all locally stored data. We have no copy of your data and cannot recover it after deletion.

8. Children's Privacy

TabVault is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

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