🧹 Gmail Cleanup — Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2025

Gmail Cleanup ("the Extension", "we", "our") is a Chrome extension that helps you identify, organise and bulk-clean unwanted email from your Gmail inbox. This policy explains what data we access, how we use it, and what we never do with it.

1. What data does the Extension access?

The Extension requests the following Google OAuth scopes:

• gmail.metadata — to read sender addresses, subject lines, and label data (never full email bodies).
• gmail.modify — to archive or trash emails you explicitly select inside the Extension.
• gmail.settings.basic — to create Gmail filters when you choose the "Create filter" action.
• userinfo.email — to identify which Google account is connected.

2. How is your data used?

• Email metadata (sender, date, labels) is processed locally in your browser to group senders and display the dashboard.
• No email content, subject lines, or metadata is ever transmitted to any external server operated by us.
• Your protected-sender list and preferences are stored in chrome.storage.local — on your own device, never uploaded.

3. Data we do NOT collect

• We do not collect, store, or transmit your email content.
• We do not have any backend server or database.
• We do not sell, share, or monetise any of your data.
• We do not use analytics or crash-reporting services.
• We do not use advertising networks.

4. Third-party services

The Extension communicates only with official Google APIs:

• Gmail API (gmail.googleapis.com)
• Google Identity (accounts.google.com)
• Google OAuth (www.googleapis.com/oauth2)

These communications are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

5. OAuth tokens

OAuth access tokens are managed by Chrome's built-in chrome.identity API and stored only in Chrome's secure token cache on your device. They are never written to disk by the Extension or transmitted to any third party.

6. Children's privacy

The Extension is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly process data from children.

7. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above and release a new version of the Extension on the Chrome Web Store.
