Privacy Policy

Browser Dynamic State Manager (“BDSM”, “the Extension”) is a browser extension provided as free software. This page describes how the Extension handles information.

Summary

The Extension does not send your browsing data or settings to servers operated by the developer. Processing happens locally in your browser using Chrome’s extension APIs.

Permissions and purpose

• tabs — To read tab properties (such as URLs and grouping) needed to organise tabs into tab groups and to move tabs between groups when you use the Extension or configured rules.
• tabGroups — To create, rename, reorder, collapse, and expand Chrome tab groups in line with the workspace behaviour described in the Extension listing.
• storage — To save settings and lightweight state locally on your device (see below).

Data stored on your device

The Extension may store the following types of information locally using chrome.storage.local (and similar browser storage APIs as implemented by Chromium). This data remains on your device unless you sync it through unrelated browser features:

• Which workspace (tab group) was last active in each browser window.
• Optional rules you configure in the Extension options (“Auto group rules”), such as regular expressions matched against tab URLs, target tab group titles, colours, and whether each rule is enabled.

URLs may be inspected in browser memory solely to evaluate those rules or to operate tab groups; they are not transmitted to external services by this Extension’s code paths.

Analytics, advertising, and third parties

The Extension does not embed third-party analytics or advertising trackers. It does not sell personal information.

Changes

This policy may be updated when the Extension is updated. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
