Privacy — exactly what Flocci Tabs can see and what leaves your browser
A tab manager needs the tabs permission. That is a real trust decision, so here is the whole picture without euphemism.
What data does Flocci Tabs collect?
Direct answer
Automatic colour-grouping is entirely local and transmits nothing. AI actions send tab titles and domains only, and only when you click them. Cloud snapshots send the group structure and URLs you explicitly chose to save. There is no analytics SDK, no ad pixel, and exactly one host permission in the manifest.
Never transmitted
- Page contents, text or screenshots
- Form data, passwords or cookies
- Browsing history (the permission is not requested)
- Anything at all, for local grouping
Transmitted, and when
- Tab titles and domains — on AI group / AI name only
- Group structure and URLs — on snapshot save only
- Your Google identity — on sign-in, brokered by Flocci's identity service
- Destination:
api.tabs.flocci.in, and nowhere else
Permissions, and why each one exists
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
tabs | Read titles and URLs of open tabs so they can be grouped at all. |
tabGroups | Create, name, colour and dissolve native Chrome tab groups. |
windows | Detect the drag-out gesture and run All Windows scoped actions. |
storage | Keep settings, rules, templates and local statistics on your device. |
identity | Google sign-in for AI features and snapshots. |
alarms, notifications | Scheduled background work and occasional status messages. |
Host: api.tabs.flocci.in | The only server the extension may contact. |
Privacy questions
Straight answers, no marketing detours.
Does Flocci Tabs read my browsing history?
No. It does not request the history permission. It reads the tabs currently open, which is what the tabs permission grants and what a tab manager fundamentally needs.
What is sent to your servers?
Only tab titles and domains, only when you trigger an AI action, and only to api.tabs.flocci.in. Snapshot saves additionally include the URLs and group structure you explicitly chose to save.
Are there third-party trackers?
No. There is no analytics SDK, no advertising pixel and no third-party endpoint. The manifest declares exactly one host permission.
Where is my data stored?
Local settings, rules and usage statistics live in Chrome storage on your device. Snapshots and preferences tied to your account live in a Postgres database scoped to your Flocci identity.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. Delete snapshots from the extension, and remove the extension to clear local storage. For full account deletion, contact afsar@flocci.in.
Local by default
The half that never touches the network is also the half that needs no account.
No account needed for automatic grouping. No API key, ever.
