Your Privacy is Our Top Priority

This Privacy Policy describes how RAM & CPU Tab Monitor ("the Extension", "we", "our") handles information when you use our Chrome browser extension.

The short version: we collect nothing, store nothing remotely, and share nothing. The Extension operates entirely within your local browser environment and has no backend servers, databases, or analytics systems of any kind.

We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any of the following:

• Personally identifiable information (name, email, address, age)
• Browsing history or web pages visited
• Passwords, authentication credentials, or form inputs
• Financial or payment information
• Location data or IP address
• Personal communications, emails, or messages
• Website content, text, images, or media from pages you visit
• Clicks, keystrokes, mouse movements, or user behavior analytics
• Device identifiers, hardware serials, or unique IDs

To provide its core functionality, the Extension temporarily reads and processes the following data exclusively within your browser on your local device. This data is never transmitted, exported, or accessible to us or any third party:

• Tab URLs and titles — Used to display tab information in the popup dashboard and detect duplicate tabs.
• Tab favicons — Loaded locally to display website icons in the tab list.
• JS Heap memory estimates — Estimated per-tab JavaScript memory usage measured via the browser Performance API, used to rank tabs by resource consumption.
• System RAM information — Total and available RAM read via chrome.system.memory to display system health stats.
• System CPU information — CPU model name, core count, and usage percentage read via chrome.system.cpu for the performance dashboard.
• User settings and preferences — Your configuration choices (thresholds, whitelist, snooze schedules) are saved in chrome.storage.local and chrome.storage.sync on your device only.

All of the above data exists only in your browser local memory and storage. It is deleted or reset when you uninstall the Extension.

The Extension requests the following Chrome permissions. Each permission is used solely for its stated purpose and nothing else:

Permission	Why It Is Needed
tabs	Read tab URLs, titles, and favicons; suspend, close, and reopen tabs; detect duplicates; identify the active tab.
storage	Save user settings, domain whitelists, RAM/CPU history for sparkline graphs, and snooze schedules locally on your device.
alarms	Run the system monitoring cycle every 5 seconds, and schedule tab wakeup alarms for the Snooze feature.
scripting	Inject a lightweight content script into web pages to measure JS heap memory usage using the browser Performance API.
system.memory	Read total and available system RAM to display real-time memory stats in the popup.
system.cpu	Read CPU model, core count, and live usage percentage to display real-time CPU stats in the popup.
notifications	Show desktop alerts for RAM/CPU threshold breaches and snoozed tab wakeup events.
favicon	Resolve website favicon icons using Chrome internal favicon API for display in the tab list.
downloads	Allow users to export a local diagnostics JSON report of their session data.
host_permissions	Required so the content script can be injected into any website to measure its JS heap memory. No page content is ever read or transmitted.

We do not share any data with any third parties — because we do not collect any data in the first place.

• No advertising networks
• No analytics platforms (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
• No data brokers or marketing services
• No crash reporting services
• No cloud storage or remote servers of any kind

The Extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since no data is collected at all, the Extension is safe for use by people of any age.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Extension features or applicable law. If we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

Since we collect no user data, any changes to this policy will never affect your personal information.
