Pinokay (“the Extension”) is a Chrome extension that lets you stash the current tab into a local list, organize items into groups, and reopen them later from a side panel. This policy explains how the Extension handles information.

What We Collect

The Extension does not require an account and does not include third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. Except for feedback you voluntarily submit via GitHub Issues or email, we do not upload your data to Pinokay-operated servers.

Data is stored locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local, including:

Data	Purpose
Stash list	URLs, titles, favicons, timestamps, and optional group assignment for tabs you explicitly stash
Stash groups	Group names, order, and collapsed state you create

When you stash the current page, the Extension reads the active tab’s URL, title, and favicon locally in your browser (not sent to our servers). When you open a stash item, the Extension may query open tabs in your browser windows to focus an existing tab or open a new one — also locally only.

Only http: and https: pages can be stashed.

What We Do Not Collect

No account sign-in required
We do not upload your browsing history to Pinokay servers
We do not sell your personal data
No embedded analytics (e.g. Google Analytics) in the Extension
No remote sync between devices (data stays in this browser profile)

Network Requests and Third Parties

Pinokay does not declare host permissions and does not call Pinokay backend APIs.

Opening a stashed link navigates your browser to the URL you saved. That destination site (for example YouTube or any other site) may set cookies or show its own interstitial pages under its own privacy policy. Pinokay does not control those third-party sites.

Favicon URLs captured at stash time are stored locally as provided by Chrome for the tab; the Extension does not scrape arbitrary websites in the background.

Chrome Permissions

Permission	Purpose
`storage`	Save the stash list and groups locally (`pinokay-stash`, `pinokay-stash-groups`)
`tabs`	Read the active tab to stash it; focus or open tabs when you click a stash item
`windows`	Focus the browser window that contains a matching tab when reopening a stash item
`sidePanel`	Show the stash list in Chrome’s side panel

The manifest sets incognito: spanning, so the Extension can run in incognito. Stash data follows Chrome’s rules for extension storage in that mode.

Retention and Deletion

Data remains in your browser until you clear extension data or uninstall the Extension
Uninstalling the Extension typically removes locally stored extension data
You can delete individual stash entries or groups in the side panel
