Last updated: March 7, 2026

Overview

AutoRefresh is a Chrome extension that automatically refreshes the current tab at user-defined intervals.

Data Collection

We do not collect any personal data.

AutoRefresh operates entirely on your local device. We do not:

  • Collect personal information
  • Track your browsing history
  • Store website content
  • Use analytics or tracking tools
  • Send any data to external servers

Local Storage

AutoRefresh stores:

  • Scroll position (sessionStorage): Temporarily saved to restore your position after refresh. Cleared when you close the tab.
  • Default interval (chrome.storage.sync): Your preferred refresh interval setting. Synced across your Chrome browsers if signed in.

This data stays in your browser and is never transmitted anywhere.
