Privacy Policy
NimoTab is a Chrome extension that saves your tabs and lets you find and open them again.
Last updated: October 11, 2026
The short version
- Your saved tabs and settings are stored in Chrome, on your computer. NimoTab has no servers and no accounts.
- NimoTab doesn’t collect analytics, show ads, or sell or share your data. We can’t see your data.
- Data leaves your computer only if you turn on AI suggestions with your own Gemini API key, and then only to Google, as described below.
What NimoTab stores, and where
NimoTab stores the following in Chrome’s extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your computer. It isn’t sent anywhere, and it’s removed when you remove the extension.
- The tabs you save: each page’s address and title, when you saved it, how many times, whether it was pinned, and the name and color of the tab group it was in.
- What you add: names and tags for saved groups, spaces, sets of tabs, and your preferences (including the sites and title words you never want saved).
- If you use AI suggestions: your Gemini API key, the topics AI sorted your saved tabs into, and a count of the requests NimoTab sent to Gemini today.
What NimoTab reads in your browser
- Your open tabs and tab groups (their addresses, titles and groups), so you can save, sort, group and close them, and to show your open windows beside your saved tabs.
- Site icons, from Chrome’s own icon cache. NimoTab doesn’t load icons from other services.
- Your bookmarks, only if you allow it (Chrome asks you first): to skip pages you’ve already bookmarked when saving, and to move saved tabs into the bookmark folder you choose.
When data leaves your computer: AI suggestions
AI suggestions are off until you add your own Google Gemini API key in NimoTab’s Preferences (Chrome asks you to allow NimoTab to reach Google’s Gemini service). With a key, NimoTab sends Google only what each feature needs:
- Naming and tagging a group, and sorting tabs by topic: those tabs’ titles; sorting by topic also sends their websites.
- Ask AI: your question and the words in your saved tabs’ titles (not the titles themselves), and only when many tabs match, up to 60 of their titles.
Requests go directly from your browser to Google with your key; they don’t pass through any server of ours. Google handles them under its own terms: the Gemini API Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. On Gemini’s free tier, Google may use what’s sent to improve its products. You can remove your key at any time in Preferences; NimoTab then stops sending anything.
Where Chrome’s built-in AI is available on your computer and you haven’t added a key, NimoTab uses it instead, and nothing leaves your computer.
Backups
When you export a backup, NimoTab saves a file to your computer with your saved tabs, spaces, sets and preferences. It never includes your Gemini API key. What you do with the file is up to you.
What NimoTab doesn’t do
- No accounts, no servers of ours, no analytics or tracking, no ads.
- We don’t sell, rent or share your data, and we don’t use it for anything other than the features you use.
- NimoTab doesn’t load code from the internet; all of it ships with the extension.
The use of information received through Chrome’s APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Your choices
- Delete any saved tab or group in NimoTab, or remove the extension to delete everything it stored.
- Turn off bookmarks access in Preferences or in Chrome’s extension settings.
- Remove your Gemini API key in Preferences to stop AI suggestions.
Changes
If NimoTab starts handling data differently, we’ll update this page and its date before the change reaches you.
