Tab Amnesty is a Chrome extension that watches your open tabs so it can bury the ones you stop coming back to. For each open tab it reads the URL, title, favicon, and when you last focused it. It does not read page contents, form data, or anything you type.

• The graveyard, tracker, settings, and weekly stats are stored in chrome.storage.local on your device. They live there until you purge them, restore defaults, or uninstall.
• The decrypted AI key is held in chrome.storage.session for up to two hours. Chrome wipes session storage when you close the browser, so the key never sits on disk.
• The free-tier daily counter lives in one path-scoped cookie on nexai.newdev.net (a domain we operate). It holds only today's date and a count — no identifier — and survives a reinstall so the daily limit can't be reset.
• The free tier needs no account. Your tabs and graveyard never require a sign-in and are never stored on a Tab Amnesty server. Only the optional Pro subscription involves an account — see “Subscriptions” below.

When Tab Amnesty scores a buried tab, it sends only that tab's title and URL to NexAI — an OpenAI-compatible model provider at nexai.newdev.net — for a single short completion that returns a verdict (worth reading, meh, or junk) and a one-sentence reason. The request body is not retained after the response is returned.

The AI key itself is never bundled with the extension. It is fetched in RSA-encrypted form from a key proxy at extension-proxy-eight.vercel.app, decrypted locally in the browser, and cached in session memory only.

Tab Amnesty Pro is an optional paid upgrade handled by ExtensionPay (extensionpay.com). When you subscribe, ExtensionPay collects your email and processes payment through Stripe. Tab Amnesty receives only a paid-or-unpaid flag and your subscription email — cached locally to show your plan — and never sees your card or full billing details.

• tabs — to read the URL and title of open tabs, detect which ones go idle, close a tab when it is buried, and reopen it when you resurrect it.
• storage — to keep the graveyard, settings, and stats on your device.
• alarms — to run the periodic idle check, scoring pass, purge, and the weekly digest.
• notifications — to show the Monday digest notification.
• cookies — to store the free-tier daily counter in a path-scoped cookie on nexai.newdev.net.
• Host access to nexai.newdev.net, extension-proxy-eight.vercel.app, and extensionpay.com — for AI scoring, the encrypted key, and Pro subscriptions respectively.

• No page-content reading. Only a tab's title and URL are ever used or sent.
• No analytics or tracking. Tab Amnesty embeds no analytics SDK, no pixels, and no third-party trackers.
• No selling or sharing. Your tabs are not a product. They stay on your device.
• No payment data. Card and billing details are handled by ExtensionPay and Stripe; Tab Amnesty never receives them.
