Tablark Privacy Policy
The short version
Tablark refreshes your tabs and, if you ask it to, checks pages for changes inside your own browser. The extension has no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no tracking, and it never sends the pages you visit anywhere. The only time it connects to the internet itself is when you choose to unlock Pro: it then sends your license key to Gumroad to check that it's valid.
What Tablark accesses
- Refreshing a tab needs no access to the page at all. Tablark just tells the browser to reload that tab.
- The current tab's address, only when you click the Tablark button (the browser's
activeTabpermission), so the popup can show which site you're on and offer the right options. - Page content, only on sites you allow. If you turn on "Stop when I click, type or scroll", page-change alerts or a saved site rule, your browser asks you to allow Tablark on that one site. Tablark then runs a small helper on that site that:
- notices that you clicked, pressed a key, scrolled or touched the page (not what you typed or clicked), so it can stop refreshing;
- reads the text of the part of the page you chose to watch, or looks for the word you typed, after each refresh;
- lets you pick the part of the page to watch with your mouse.
What Tablark stores on your device
- Your refresh settings and any saved site rules (site address, interval, and what to watch), in the browser's extension storage on this computer.
- While a tab is being watched: the last text seen in the watched part (to compare with the next refresh) and a short list of recent alerts. These are kept in session storage and are cleared when the browser closes.
- If you unlock Pro: your license key and the date it was last checked. Click "Remove license from this browser" to delete it.
Uninstalling Tablark deletes all of it. Nothing is synced to any server.
What Tablark sends, and to whom
- Only when you click "Unlock" (and then at most once a week while Pro stays unlocked): your license key and Tablark's Gumroad product ID are sent to Gumroad's license check (
https://api.gumroad.com/v2/licenses/verify). Gumroad replies whether the key is valid. No page content, web address, browsing history, device ID or email address is sent. Gumroad handles the request under Gumroad's privacy policy. In Firefox you're asked for consent to send this "authentication information" first. - Buying Pro happens on Gumroad's website, not inside Tablark. Wood Between Studio receives the order details Gumroad gives sellers (for example your email address for the receipt) and uses them only to provide and support your license.
- Refreshing a page is a normal page load between your browser and that website, exactly as if you pressed the reload button.
The Tablark extension contains no analytics, crash reporting, advertising or third-party scripts, and it loads no code from the internet.
Permissions

Changes
Website analytics
The Wood Between Studio website (www.woodbetweenstudio.com), including the web-app versions of our tools, uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It is a privacy-first, cookieless service: it sets no cookies, doesn't fingerprint your browser or device, doesn't track you across other sites and collects no personal data. Its small script sends only page-view and page-load metrics (such as the page address, the referring site, browser type and load time) to Cloudflare. It never receives your files, recordings, watchlists, keys, or anything you type or process in a tool: those stay on your device, and the tools keep working offline (the counter simply doesn't load). The browser extensions themselves contain no analytics.
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the effective date above. We'll never start sending page content or add tracking without changing this policy and the extension's store listing first.
