ToolShelf is a fully offline browser utility toolbox built with privacy as a core principle. This policy explains how your information is handled.
1. Data Collection & Transmission
- No Remote Servers: ToolShelf runs 100% locally in your browser.
- No Network Requests: The extension does not communicate with external servers, databases, or third-party APIs.
- No Analytics: There are no tracking scripts, telemetry, or analytics trackers embedded in this extension.
- No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or transmit your name, IP address, browsing behavior, or any form of personally identifiable information.
2. Local Storage Usage
ToolShelf uses the browser’s local storage API (chrome.storage.local) solely to save your local configuration and tools-related data on your own machine. This includes:
- Saved Notes and Todo items
- Clipboard history list (kept locally on your device)
- Workspace layout preferences
- Dark/Light theme preferences
This data is stored sandboxed inside your local browser profile and is never sent to us or any third party.
3. Chrome Permissions Used
- tabs / activeTab: Used to manage, group, and query browser tabs for the Tab Manager, Duplicate Finder, and Workspace Saver tools.
- storage: Used to save your notes, task lists, and preferences locally.
- bookmarks: Used to display, check, and clean up duplicate bookmarks in the Bookmark Cleaner tool.
- sessions: Used to recover and restore recently closed windows and tabs.
- clipboardWrite: Used to copy generated passwords, hashes, formatted JSON, and other tool outputs to your system clipboard when you click “Copy”.
- sidePanel: Used to host and show the tools within the official Chrome sidebar.
- history (Optional): Requested at runtime only if you use the History Search tool.
- cookies (Optional): Requested at runtime only if you use the Cookie Manager tool.
4. Updates to This Policy
We may update this policy occasionally. Any changes will be posted on this page.
