MyOnlyTab stores your tasks, focus preferences, site classifications, and settings locally on your device using browser storage (localStorage and chrome.storage). We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on our servers by default. The sections below describe the specific situations where data leaves your device.
AI task enrichment is disabled by default. If you choose to enable it in Settings → Focus, the following data is sent to Mistral AI (an EU-based AI provider) for each enrichment request:
No account information, name, email, or browsing history is included. Behavioural patterns are transmitted as qualitative labels only (e.g. "energizing", "draining") — raw numerical scores are never sent. You can disable AI enrichment at any time. Disabling it reverts all sorting to a fully local algorithm.
We have signed a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) with Mistral AI in accordance with GDPR Article 28. We have also opted out of model training in the Mistral console, meaning your data is never used to train or improve Mistral AI's models.
If you enable cloud sync, your data is encrypted client-side (AES-256-GCM) before being uploaded to the cloud storage provider of your choice. We never have access to your unencrypted data. Sync is entirely optional and disabled by default.
To display website icons, MyOnlyTab uses a self-hosted favicon service. Your server fetches favicons directly from the target website and caches them. If a direct fetch fails, our server may fall back to Google's favicon service (google.com/s2/favicons) as a last resort — in that case, Google receives the domain name and our server's IP address, not yours. Your browser only ever communicates with our server.
If you choose to use a wallpaper from the Unsplash library, the wallpaper image is loaded directly from Unsplash's CDN (images.unsplash.com). Unsplash may log your IP address and the image requested. Using solid colours or your own images involves no third-party requests.
If you enable weather, your browser requests your GPS location using the browser's standard permission dialog. The coordinates are sent directly from your browser to Open-Meteo (an open-source, no-account weather API). Our servers never see your location.
The MyOnlyTab browser extension requests the following permissions:
No data from these permissions is transmitted to any external server.
When you use features that make server-side requests (AI enrichment, search, wallpapers), our API server temporarily stores your IP address in memory to enforce rate limits (e.g. 60 requests per minute). This data is never written to disk or shared with third parties, and is automatically cleared when the rate-limit window expires (typically within 1 minute).
We do not use any third-party analytics or tracking services. No cookies, tracking pixels, or fingerprinting scripts are loaded. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and implement appropriate consent mechanisms.
You can delete all your data at any time from the Settings page (Profile → Data Management). Uninstalling the extension removes all extension-stored data. Clearing browser data removes all webapp-stored data.
