We at StackTab are committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy applies to our browser extension (StackTab on the Chrome Store), our website (https://stacktab.io), any subdomains of stacktab.io.
The information we gather or process is used solely for core functionality of StackTab and to improve the quality and security of our service. Your information isn’t and has never been sold to third parties.
WebExtension APIs used within Chrome Extensions have fine-grained permission levels that are enforced by the Web Browser, restricting information that our extension has access to within your Browser. The StackTab extension can only access specific information that you have explicitly granted permission for. We can not and do not track your browsing history.
Additional optional permissions may be requested when you enable specific features. When you enable a feature that requests an optional permission, your Web Browser will make it clear what permission(s) are being requested. The feature will be accessible once you choose to allow the requested permission(s).
| Information/Permission | Feature | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|
| History | History panel | Used only within the Extension to display a browsing history. This is not sent or stored elsewhere. |
| Bookmarks | Bookmarks Bar | Used only within the Extension to display a Bookmarks Bar. This is not sent or stored elsewhere. |
| Most visited websites | Most visited websites panel | Used only within the Extension to display a most visited websites panel. This is not sent or stored elsewhere. |
Your IP address is not sent to our third-party weather provider.
To improve the content, features and overall experience of the extension, we gather and log data on how our users access and use StackTab Dashboard. For example, we may log actions like clicking on a photo source.
Some of this usage data is sent to Google Analytics.
We use several vendors/sub-processors to conduct various aspects of our business.
| Vendor | Purpose |

| Flickr | Some photos/backgrounds are retrieved from Flickr. A request is made from your IP address to download photos. |
| Unsplash | Some photos/backgrounds are retrieved from Unsplash. A request is made from your IP address to download photos. |
| Google Analytics | Google Analytics is an industry standard third-party analytics service that we use to better understand the usage and performance of our service(s). The information is anonymized so that it is not tied to your IP address. |

Data security is a priority at all times. We use a Tier 1 cloud provider to run our operations.
