Chrome extension policy

Privacy Policy

This policy explains how 4Later handles browser information when you use the Chrome extension, website, account, payment, and support features.

What 4Later Does

4Later helps you search and clean Chrome history, review tabs, manage bookmarks, and create site blocking rules. These features use Chrome extension APIs in your browser.

Browser Data

The extension may read history, open tab, tab group, bookmark, and URL information when you use features that need that access. This information is used to display results, organize items, delete selected history entries, update bookmarks, or apply blocking rules in Chrome.

4Later does not sell browser data. 4Later does not use browser history, tabs, bookmarks, or blocking rules for advertising.

Account, billing, and email features on the website are separate from the extension workspace. You do not need a website account for local browser history, tab, bookmark, or blocking management inside Chrome.

Local Storage and Extension Settings

The extension may store preferences and blocking rules locally through Chrome extension storage or related browser storage. Those settings support the extension features you choose to use.

You can remove local extension data by changing or clearing extension settings, deleting related browser data where Chrome allows it, or uninstalling the extension.

Bookmark Metadata

Bookmark notes, favourite flags, and saved visual references are stored locally in the extension workspace. 4Later does not fetch saved bookmark pages for preview metadata.

Account, Email, and Payments

If you create an account, request email login, join a launch list, or buy a paid plan, the website may process the email address, account profile, checkout email, payment amount and currency, plan and license status, Stripe checkout session identifiers, Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, and support messages needed to provide those services.

Website account and lead records may be stored in a production MongoDB database. License and payment records may also be stored there when needed for account access and support. Email login and launch-list messages may be sent through Cloudflare Email Service. Payments and billing portal actions are processed by Stripe. 4Later does not store full card numbers.

Usage Analytics

4Later may use PostHog to collect coarse usage events, such as which page or workspace was opened, whether checkout started, or broad count buckets for selected extension actions. These events help debug launch flows and understand feature adoption.

4Later does not send browser history URLs, tab URLs or titles, bookmark titles or notes, search text, blocked domains, allow-list domains, or page contents to PostHog.

Service Providers

4Later may use hosting, database, authentication, email, payment, browser platform, and support providers to run the website, account, payment, email, analytics, and extension distribution features. Current providers may include PostHog for privacy-reviewed usage analytics. These providers should only receive the information needed for those services.

Permissions

4Later requests permissions for Chrome history, tabs, tab groups, bookmarks, declarative network request blocking, storage, alarms, favicon display, and HTTP/HTTPS host access. These permissions are used only for the browser cleanup, organization, and blocking features described in the extension.

What History Deletion Cannot Erase

4Later cannot erase Google account activity, synced activity on other devices, website-side logs, cookies, cache, passwords, or search-engine records. Deleting selected Chrome history entries does not remove bookmarks; bookmark changes happen only through the separate bookmark actions you choose.

Requests and Deletion

To ask about website account, billing, support, or launch-list records, email tpotgroup418@gmail.com. Browser data controlled by Chrome or other websites must be managed in Chrome, your Google account, the relevant website, or the relevant service.
