GTab Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 29, 2026

GTab ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that provides a customizable new tab page. This policy explains what data is accessed and how it is handled.

1. Data We Access

GTab may access the following data when you explicitly enable specific widgets:

Google Calendar – Read-only access to your upcoming events, displayed directly in the new tab page.
Google Tasks – Read and write access to your task lists, allowing you to view and complete tasks from the new tab page.

2. Data Storage

All data is stored locally on your device using the browser's built-in localStorage and chrome.storage APIs.
No data is transmitted to any external server operated by GTab.
Google API tokens are stored locally and used solely to communicate with Google's official APIs on your behalf.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information to our own servers.
We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising services.
We do not share any data with third parties.

4. Third-Party Services

GTab communicates directly with the following services on your behalf:

Google APIs (calendar.googleapis.com, tasks.googleapis.com) – for Calendar and Tasks widgets.
Open-Meteo (api.open-meteo.com) – for weather data. No personal data is sent; only your approximate location coordinates.
Nominatim / OpenStreetMap (nominatim.openstreetmap.org) – for reverse geocoding your location to a city name.
Financial data providers (Yahoo Finance, Alpha Vantage) – for stock price widgets. No personal data is sent.

These services are governed by their own privacy policies.

5. Permissions

GTab requests the following Chrome permissions:

storage – to save your preferences locally.
identity – to authenticate with Google for Calendar and Tasks widgets.
activeTab, tabs – to manage shortcuts and tab navigation.

6. Your Control

You can revoke Google access at any time via Google Account Permissions.
You can clear all locally stored data by uninstalling the extension or clearing browser storage.
All Google-connected widgets are opt-in and disabled by default.
