Chrome Tab Router is a Chrome extension that routes incoming links to a preferred Chrome user profile. This page describes what data the extension processes and why.
To do its job, the extension processes: the URLs of tabs it evaluates against your routing rules, the routing rules and user profile names you configure, and your groupcode. This data is relayed through an Azure-hosted backend (Azure SignalR + Azure Functions) solely to pass messages between your own Chrome profiles in real time.
The backend does not store your browsing history. No analytics, tracking, or advertising identifiers are collected, and no data is shared with third parties.
The groupcode is a shared secret: only extension instances configured with the same groupcode can exchange messages. It is meant to be shared only between your own Chrome profiles.
All configuration (rules, profile names, groupcode) is stored locally in your browser via
chrome.storage.local and synced only between your own connected profiles.
