swish
Privacy policy
Last updated: August 16, 2026
Privacy is a product constraint, not a slogan. swish processes tab data locally in Chrome and does not transmit it.
1. Information we do not collect
swish does not collect, store, transmit, or sell personal information.
- Personally identifiable information
- Financial, health, authentication, or location data
- Personal communications
- Historical browsing activity
- User interaction data such as clicks or keystrokes
- Website content for analysis or transmission
2. What swish accesses locally
To sort, deduplicate, undo, and group open tabs, swish temporarily reads open-tab metadata such as titles, URLs, access times, tab IDs, group IDs, and window IDs.
The Chrome Web Store classifies this temporary handling of open-tab titles and URLs as Web history. swish does not retain historical browsing activity.
This tab data is processed on your device and is never transmitted by swish.
3. Local storage
swish stores sorting and grouping preferences with Chrome sync storage. Chrome may sync those preferences through your signed-in browser profile; they do not contain tab titles or URLs. swish also keeps a temporary, session-only snapshot of tab IDs and positions so you can undo a sort. That snapshot disappears when the browser session ends.
4. No tracking or remote services
swish does not use analytics, advertising trackers, cookies, external APIs, or remotely hosted code. Its optional grouping intelligence runs through Chrome's on-device Prompt API when available, with an on-device heuristic fallback.
5. Permissions
- tabs — read and organize tabs in the current browser window.
- storage — save preferences and a temporary undo snapshot.
- tabGroups — create and name Chrome tab groups.
6. Children’s privacy
swish does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
7. Changes to this policy
Material changes will be reflected on this page with a revised update date.
