What InTab sends & keeps

Here’s the honest version. InTab is built to keep as much as possible on your device, and to be clear about the few things that leave it.

Stays on your device

  • Your bookmarks and history (read locally, only after you grant those permissions).
  • Screen-time analytics, focus scores, and the weekly report - all computed locally.
  • Screensaver uploads and most settings, stored in the browser.

If you sign in, your settings are backed up to sync across devices; on Pro, your workspace data (sessions, chats, bookmarks metadata, editor sites) also syncs. See What syncs across devices.

InTab’s own AI (sent off-device)

These features send content to InTab’s backend to do their work, which in turn uses trusted AI providers:

  • the selection popover actions and grammar - your selected/typed text,
  • YouTube summaries - the video’s transcript and metadata,
  • dictation - your recorded audio,
  • read aloud - the text to be spoken,
  • image scan / Smart Screenshots - the image.

Only the content needed for that action is sent. Anonymous analytics (below) never include your text, URLs, or page content.

The multi-model chat is different

The new-tab AI chat does not use InTab’s backend. It sends your prompts and attachments directly to your own ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity accounts through your logged-in browser session. Those providers’ own terms apply to that content.

Anonymous analytics (optional)

InTab sends anonymous, aggregate usage events (feature usage, onboarding, errors) to help improve the product. It explicitly excludes URLs, page content, and input text. Turn it off any time in Settings → General → Privacy → Anonymous analytics, and use Clear data there.

What uninstalling removes

Removing the extension from your browser deletes its local data - settings, cached items, screensaver uploads. If you had an account and want the server-side data gone too, delete your account first (see Billing, freeze, cancel & delete); server data is removed within 30 days.

For the exact list of browser permissions and why each is requested, see Permissions explained. The full legal detail lives in the Privacy Policy.
