Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 17, 2026

Speed Dial is a browser extension developed by Ravaga Studio. This policy explains what data the extension handles and how.

What data we access

Speed Dial accesses the following browser data to provide its core functionality:

• Open tabs — titles, URLs, and favicons of your open tabs, to display them as tiles on the new tab page.
• Tab groups — group names and colors, to organize tiles by group.
• Tab screenshots — captured when you switch between tabs, stored locally as compressed thumbnails.

This data is read from browser APIs and never leaves your device unless you enable cloud sync.

Local storage

The extension stores the following data locally in your browser:

• Tab session backups (up to 100 snapshots)
• Screenshot thumbnails (up to 500, auto-cleaned after 7 days)
• Your theme preference (dark/light)
• UI state (which group tab is selected, collapsed groups)

All local data is stored via the chrome.storage.local API and is accessible only to this extension. Uninstalling the extension removes all local data.

Cloud sync (optional)

If you sign in with Google, the extension syncs your session backups and settings to a cloud server. Here's how that works:

• Authentication — We use Google OAuth 2.0 to verify your identity. We receive your email, name, and profile picture. We do not receive or store your Google password.
• Encryption — All synced data is encrypted client-side using AES-256-GCM before leaving your browser. The encryption key is derived from your Google account ID. The server stores only encrypted blobs and cannot read your data.
• Server — Synced data is stored on Cloudflare Workers KV, a globally distributed key-value store. Each user's data is keyed to their Google account ID.
• What syncs — Session backups and theme preference. Screenshots, live tab state, and UI preferences do not sync.
• Deletion — You can delete all synced data by signing out from the extension settings. You can also request deletion by contacting us.

Cloud sync is entirely optional. The extension works fully offline without signing in.

What we don't do

• We do not collect analytics or telemetry.
• We do not track your browsing history beyond what's shown in the extension.
• We do not sell, share, or transmit your data to third parties.
• We do not serve ads.
• We do not use your data for AI training or profiling.

Permissions explained

• tabs — Read tab titles, URLs, and favicons to display tiles.
• tabGroups — Read and update tab group names and colors.
• storage — Store backups, settings, and thumbnails locally.
• alarms — Schedule automatic backups and sync.
• favicon — Fetch favicons for tabs that haven't loaded yet.
