Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 17, 2026

The ChromeTile extension is provided as an Open Source project. This page is used to inform users regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use our Service.

1. Information Collection and Use

ChromeTile is built with a "Privacy by Design" philosophy. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information. To function effectively, the extension requires specific permissions, but all data remains strictly local to your device:

2. Data Persistence

Any data generated by the extension (such as custom tiling rules or saved settings) is stored exclusively on your machine using the chrome.storage API. We do not have access to this data, and it is never synchronized with external servers or cloud providers by us.

3. Third-Party Services

Unlike many extensions, ChromeTile does not use any third-party analytics, tracking pixels, or external APIs. Your browsing behavior and tab metadata are never shared with or processed by third parties.

4. Open Source Transparency

ChromeTile is Open Source software. We believe in full transparency; you can review the source code, verify how permissions are used, and audit our data handling practices at any time:

5. Security

We value your trust. Because ChromeTile operates entirely within the secure sandbox of your browser and initiates no network requests to external servers, the risk of data leakage is minimized. We recommend keeping your browser updated to ensure the latest security patches are applied to the extension environment.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in functionality or regulatory requirements. You are advised to review this page periodically. Any changes are effective immediately after they are posted here.

7. Contact Us

If you have any questions or suggestions about this Privacy Policy, please do not hesitate to contact the maintainer by opening an issue on the GitHub repository or via the contact details provided in the repository's documentation.

This policy is intended to satisfy the Chrome Web Store's Limited Use requirements, ensuring that all requested permissions are used solely for the user-facing functionality of the extension.
