Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 13, 2026

This privacy policy covers both SidePin and GlassTab, two Chrome extensions developed and maintained by the same developer. Both extensions share the same philosophy: your data stays on your device, and we collect nothing.

Summary

Neither SidePin nor GlassTab collects, transmits, stores, or shares any personal data. Period. There are no accounts, no servers, no analytics, and no tracking. All user data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage API.

SidePin

What SidePin does

SidePin is a browser extension that lets you pin websites to a sidebar panel. You can browse those sites alongside your main tab, search the web, and organize your pins with drag and drop.

Data stored locally

SidePin stores the following data locally in your browser: your list of pinned websites (URLs, names, favicons), the order of your pins, the last visited URL for each pin, and your dark mode preference. This data never leaves your browser.

Permissions and why they're needed

sidePanel: Displays the sidebar panel where you browse your pinned websites.

storage: Saves your pinned sites and preferences locally in the browser.

contextMenus: Adds a "Pin this site to SidePin" option to the right-click menu.

activeTab: Reads the current tab's URL and title when you right-click to pin a site.

tabs: Opens sites in new tabs or popup windows when they can't be embedded.

declarativeNetRequest: Modifies response headers (like X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy) on iframe requests so websites can load inside the sidebar panel. Without this, most websites would refuse to display in the sidebar.

scripting: Injects a content script that prevents websites from detecting they're inside an iframe, allowing them to load properly in the sidebar.

Host permissions (<all_urls>): Required because users can pin any website. SidePin needs to modify headers and inject scripts on whatever site the user chooses to pin. This permission is never used to read, collect, or transmit page content.

Search

When you use SidePin's built-in search bar, your query is sent directly to the search engine you selected (Google or Amazon). SidePin does not intercept, log, store, or modify your search queries. Search results pages may display ads served by the respective search engine under their own privacy policies.

GlassTab

What GlassTab does

GlassTab replaces your browser's new tab page with a custom dashboard featuring shortcuts, weather, calendar, daily quotes, and a search bar.

Data stored locally

GlassTab stores the following data locally in your browser: your shortcut tiles (URLs, names, icons), their order, your preferred city for weather, your light/dark mode preference, and any calendar connection settings. This data never leaves your browser.

External services

Weather: GlassTab sends your configured city name to a weather API to fetch current conditions. Only the city name is sent — no personal information, no IP address, no location tracking.

Calendar: If you choose to connect your calendar, GlassTab accesses your calendar events to display them on the dashboard. This data is fetched directly and displayed locally — it is never sent to our servers (we don't have servers).

Quotes: Daily quotes are either bundled with the extension or fetched from a public quotes API. No personal data is involved in this request.

Search

When you use GlassTab's search bar, your query is sent directly to the search engine you selected. GlassTab does not intercept, log, store, or modify your search queries.

What We Don't Do

To be completely clear, here is what neither SidePin nor GlassTab will ever do:

We do not collect personal information of any kind. We do not track your browsing history. We do not log your search queries. We do not use analytics or tracking pixels. We do not sell or share data with third parties. We do not use cookies. We do not require accounts or sign-ups. We do not have servers that store your data. We do not profile you or build advertising profiles.

Third Parties

Neither extension shares any user data with third parties. When you use the built-in search feature, your query goes directly from your browser to the search engine — we are not an intermediary. Search results may include ads served by the search engine provider under their own terms and privacy policies.

Children's Privacy

Our extensions do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we collect no data at all, there is no children's data to protect — but we want to be explicit about this commitment.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever update this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Since we don't collect email addresses, we can't notify you of changes — we encourage you to review this page periodically.
