Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 11, 2026

Super Session Manager is a product operated by SummaryTube.

Super Session Manager is a browser extension for Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox that saves your current window's tabs as named sessions and restores them later. Session data is stored locally in your browser; if you sign in and enable Cloud Sync, named sessions you choose to sync are stored on our servers so you can access them across devices and on sessionmanager.net. Rolling auto-saved snapshots (Auto tab) stay on your device only.

What we process

Account: If you sign in (Supabase Auth), we process your account id and email to authenticate you and apply your plan.
Local sessions: Session names, tab URLs, titles and the site-icon address saved with each tab are stored in your browser's extension storage on your device.
Cloud sessions: When Cloud Sync is on and you sync, named sessions are stored in our database (names, tab URLs, titles and site-icon addresses) linked to your account.
Share Session Pages: When you publish from the extension Tools tab, tab URLs and titles you choose are stored on our servers and shown at sessionmanager.net/share/… until you delete the page. Optional Pro fields (description, password hash, branding) are stored with the page.
Free Pro trial: Trying Pro requires signing in with Google. When an eligible account first signs in, we store the date its one 7-day Pro trial started on the account, and our server decides whether the trial is running. The extension asks sessionmanager.net for your plan and trial status while you are signed in (sending only your sign-in token) and keeps the answer in memory; no trial date or trial status is stored in your browser.
Payments: Paid plans are processed by Paddle (paddle.com), our merchant of record, which collects the email and payment details you enter at checkout. We receive the email, plan and amount to activate your plan, and never see or store your card details. If you pay before signing in, we keep that purchase record and email you a link to activate Pro, until you sign in with Google to claim it.

Opting out of cloud storage

Turn off Cloud Sync in the extension's settings at any time. When it is off, the extension will not upload new sessions from that browser. Existing cloud copies may remain until you delete them while signed in on the website or ask us to remove them.

What we do not do

We do not sell your personal information.
We do not run third-party advertising SDKs inside the extension.
We do not use invasive cross-site tracking for ads.

Website analytics

This applies to the sessionmanager.net website, not the extension (the extension has no analytics). The website uses Google Analytics, Google Ads conversion measurement and Microsoft Clarity to understand its traffic; these services set their own cookies and receive your IP address and browser details under their own privacy policies.

We also measure our own pricing and checkout steps: viewing the pricing page, choosing a plan, signing in, the checkout opening, closing, failing or completing. Each record holds the step, the plan, the page language, the campaign tags of the link that brought you, your device and browser type, and your country (derived from your IP address). Anonymous visitors are counted with a random ID stored in your browser's localStorage; for signed-in visitors the record is linked to their account. We never record what you type at checkout and do not store your IP address (pricing page views keep only a salted one-way hash of it, to limit abuse). These analytics records are deleted automatically after 180 days.

Third-party requests

Site icons are off by default. If you turn on Show site icons in the extension's Settings, the extension asks Google's public favicon service (www.google.com/s2/favicons, and t1.gstatic.com on the Tab Suspender's sleep page) for the icon of a site you are looking at, which sends that site's address to Google. No account details or identifiers are attached. While the setting is off, nothing is requested and a neutral placeholder icon is shown instead. Apart from this opt-in and your account provider's avatar image, the extension contacts no third party.

Feedback and uninstall

The in-extension feedback form sends what you typed, the extension version, your browser's user-agent string, the panel you were on and whether your plan is free or pro — only when you press Send. If you are signed in, the name and email address on your account are attached so we can reply; otherwise only an email address you choose to type in is included. It carries no persistent identifier and no session, tab or browsing data.

When you remove the extension, your browser opens sessionmanager.net/uninstall with the extension version, browser family and free/pro bucket in the address. The optional survey there is anonymous: no email, account reference or browsing data is stored with a response, and you can simply close the page.

Permissions and purpose

tabs

Read URLs when you save a session; open tabs when you restore.

storage

Store sessions and settings locally; session tokens for optional sync.

windows

Restore sessions into browser windows (Chrome and Edge; Firefox needs no separate permission).

alarms

Schedule automatic snapshots when that feature is enabled.

tabGroups

Save the name and colour of your tab groups with a session and restore them (Chrome and Edge only).

activeTab + scripting

Used only by the Page Links tool, and only when you open it: it reads the link addresses on the tab you are viewing and nothing else. No page text, form values or cookies are read.

bookmarks (optional)

Never requested at install or update. Asked for only when you press Import Bookmarks; it reads your bookmark folders once so they can become saved sessions, never edits them, and can be revoked in your browser's extension settings at any time.

Export / import

Export produces a JSON file you download and control. Import merges into local storage.

Service providers

We use Supabase for authentication and cloud session storage, and Paddle for payments. The sessionmanager.net site may set essential cookies when you use your account.

Children's privacy

Super Session Manager does not target children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy and will revise the effective date above.

Retention and your choices

Local data remains until you delete it in the extension or uninstall the extension. Cloud session rows remain until you delete them while signed in, your account is deleted, or we remove data as described in our Terms. Website analytics records (pricing and checkout steps) are deleted after 180 days; payment records are kept as accounting requires. You may request account or data deletion by contacting us below.
