TurboTab Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 15, 2026
Thank you for using TurboTab.
This extension follows one simple principle:
Your data belongs only to you, and stays entirely in your local browser.
What Information Do We Collect?
TurboTab does not collect, upload, store, analyze, or sell any personal information.
Specifically, TurboTab does NOT:
- Collect browsing history
- Collect search queries
- Collect personally identifiable information
- Collect usage statistics
- Use analytics or tracking scripts
- Use ad SDKs
- Use user fingerprinting
- Upload any data to the developer's servers
- Require account registration
Local Data Storage
To provide its features, TurboTab saves some data in your browser's local storage.
For example:
- Shortcut links
- Search engine settings
- Theme settings
- Layout configuration
- Locally cached favicon icons
This data is stored only on your device.
It never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it.
Network Requests
TurboTab itself does not run any backend server.
Certain features may cause your browser to access target website resources directly, for example:
- Fetching website favicon icons
- Navigating to search engine pages
- Opening website links added by the user
These requests are sent directly from your browser to the corresponding websites.
The developer does not receive, record, or process the data from these requests.
Data Sharing
Because TurboTab does not collect user data, there is no sharing, selling, or providing of user data to third parties.
Permissions
TurboTab requests only the minimum permissions required for its core functionality.
These permissions are used solely to:
- Replace the browser's new tab page
- Save local configuration
- Add the current page as a shortcut link
- Fetch website icons and other necessary functions
They are never used to track user behavior.
Children's Privacy
TurboTab does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children.
Privacy Policy Updates
If this privacy policy changes in the future, the updated version will be published on this page.
Contact
If you have any questions about this privacy policy, you can reach the developer via the extension's listing page or the project homepage.
Summary (TL;DR)
- No data collection
- No data upload
- No user analytics
- No behavior tracking
- No ads

Your data always stays in your local browser.
