Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 November 2026
In short: Tab Saver & Categorizer saves only the tabs you choose to save. That data stays in your browser, and in your own Google Drive if you turn on sync. We never receive it, sell it or use it for advertising.
1. Who we are
flow/foxes ("we", "us") is an AI and automation studio based in Australia that also publishes browser extensions and apps. This policy explains what data our products handle and how. If you have any questions, email hello@theflowfoxes.com.
This policy covers our website theflowfoxes.com and our products, including the Tab Saver & Categorizer Chrome extension. Where a product handles data differently, its section below says so.
2. Tab Saver & Categorizer
What the extension stores
When you save your tabs, the extension stores, for each tab:
- the page title and web address (URL);
- the date and time you saved it;
- the name of its Chrome tab group, if it was in one;
- the category names and order you choose when you rename or drag items.
The extension only stores tabs when you ask it to save them. It does not track your browsing in the background, and it does not read the content of the pages you visit.
Where it is stored
| Location | When | Who can access it |
|---|---|---|
| Your browser's local extension storage | Always | Only you, on that computer |
| A private app folder in your own Google Drive | Only if you sign in with Google to sync | Only you, through your Google account |
Data is sent directly between your browser and Google. It never passes through or is stored on flow/foxes servers.
Google sign-in and Google Drive
Signing in is optional. If you sign in, you grant the extension permission to read and write its own hidden app folder in your Google Drive, so your saved tabs sync between computers. The extension cannot see, open or change any of your other Google Drive files.
flow/foxes' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data from Google APIs is used only to provide the sync feature, is not used for advertising, is not sold, and is not read by any person except where you ask us for help and give us permission, or where required by law.
Browser permissions and why we need them
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
tabs | To read the titles and URLs of tabs in the current window when you click save, and to close and reopen them. |
tabGroups | To keep your Chrome tab groups together when saving. |
storage | To save your tabs and categories in your browser. |
identity | To let you sign in with Google for optional Drive sync. |
Deleting your data
- Inside the extension: delete individual links or categories at any time.
- Local data: uninstalling the extension removes all data stored in your browser.
- Synced data: in Google Drive, open Settings → Manage apps, find Tab Saver & Categorizer and choose "Delete hidden app data". You can also remove the extension's access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
3. Our website
theflowfoxes.com does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes standard technical information (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse; see Cloudflare's privacy policy.
If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply to you and handle your enquiry. We keep enquiry emails only as long as needed for that purpose and our business records.
4. What we never do
- Sell or rent your data.
- Use your data for advertising or to build profiles about you.
- Share your data with third parties, except the Google services you choose to use.
- Use your data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
5. Children
Our products are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
6. Security
Data is sent to Google over encrypted connections (HTTPS), and Google Drive data is protected by your Google account security. Because we do not keep copies of your data on our own servers, there is no flow/foxes database that could be breached.
7. Your rights
You can access, change or delete your data at any time using the steps above. If you are in Australia, the EU, the UK or another region with privacy laws, you may have further rights, such as requesting information about the data we hold about you. Contact us and we will respond within 30 days.
8. Changes to this policy
If we change how our products handle data, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the extension's release notes.
