Stowlane privacy policy
Save and restore tab sessions. No network access at all.
What is collected
Nothing. Stowlane has no account system, no analytics, no telemetry and no server of ours. Nothing about you or your browsing is collected, transmitted to us, sold, or shared with anyone.
What is stored, and where
Everything below stays inside your own browser profile on your own device.
- The title and URL of tabs you explicitly stow, grouped into lanes, in Chrome local storage on your device.
- Your sort order, filter and starred lanes, in the same place.
None of it is written to Chrome's synced storage, so it does not travel to your Google account or to your other machines. Uninstalling the extension removes it.
What it connects to
None. Stowlane makes no network requests at all.
Permissions, and why each one exists
| tabs | Read the title and URL of the tabs in the window you are stowing, and close them once the save has succeeded. |
| storage | Keep your lanes on your own device. |
| sidePanel | The lane list, which is the entire interface. |
Worth knowing
- Stowlane requests no host permissions at all. It injects nothing into any page and never reads page content: it sees only the tab title and URL that Chrome reports.
- Stowing the same window twice keeps both lanes, and duplicate tabs within one lane are collapsed, but nothing about pages you did not stow is recorded.
- This is not browsing history. Nothing is stored about pages you visited and did not stow, no visit timestamps are kept, and none of it is transmitted anywhere.
Children
Stowlane is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date below changes with it. Anything that would alter what is collected or transmitted would ship as a new version, with the change described in the extension's changelog.
