TabDog Bridge ("the extension") is a companion Chrome extension for the TabDog macOS app. This policy explains what data the extension accesses and how it is used.
Data the Extension Accesses
To provide its functionality, the extension accesses:
- Tab metadata: tab URL, title, favicon URL, active state, and window/tab IDs
- Local timestamps: tab creation/open time (stored locally in the browser)
How the Data is Used
The extension uses this data only to:
- Display and search tabs in the TabDog macOS app
- Allow tab actions from TabDog (activate tab, close tabs)
- Sort tabs by opened time
Data Sharing & Selling
- The extension does NOT sell user data
- The extension does NOT share user data with third parties
- The extension does NOT transmit data to any remote servers
Communication
The extension communicates only with the local TabDog macOS app using
Chrome Native Messaging (nativeMessaging permission).
This is a local-only communication channel via stdio pipes. All data stays on your device.
Storage
Tab creation timestamps are stored in chrome.storage.local on your device.
This data is automatically cleaned up when tabs are closed.
Security
The extension communicates only with the locally installed TabDog app. Users should install TabDog only from trusted sources.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated over time. Updates will be reflected in this document with a new effective date.
