Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 16, 2025

Overview

Gmail Unlimited - Auto Expander ("the Extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how the Extension handles your data when you use it.

TL;DR: We collect nothing. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Information Collection and Use

What We Don't Collect

  • ❌ We do NOT collect any personal information
  • ❌ We do NOT read, store, or transmit your email content
  • ❌ We do NOT track your browsing history
  • ❌ We do NOT use cookies or analytics
  • ❌ We do NOT collect any usage statistics
  • ❌ We do NOT share any data with third parties

What We Do

  • ✅ Process Gmail page content locally in your browser to detect clipped messages
  • ✅ Store your preferences (like auto-expand settings) locally on your device using Chrome's local storage API
  • ✅ Operate entirely offline without any external server communication

Permissions Explained

The Extension requests the following permissions. Here's exactly why each is needed:

🌐 Access to mail.google.com

Why: This permission allows the Extension to run on Gmail pages and detect clipped messages.

What we do: We scan the Gmail page DOM (Document Object Model) to find the "View entire message" buttons and automatically click them.

What we DON'T do: We never read email content, sender information, or any private data. We only look for UI elements that indicate a message is clipped.

💾 Storage

Why: To save your preferences (like whether auto-expansion is enabled).

What we store: Only your settings, such as auto-expand on/off state.

Where it's stored: Locally on your device using Chrome's local storage. This data never leaves your computer.

📝 Scripting

Why: To inject the content script that performs the auto-expansion on Gmail pages.

What we do: Run JavaScript code that finds and clicks "View entire message" buttons automatically.

Data Storage

The Extension stores minimal data locally on your device:

  • User Preferences: Your settings (e.g., auto-expand enabled/disabled)
  • Storage Location: Chrome's local storage API (stored on your device only)
  • Data Access: Only the Extension can access this data. No external servers or third parties have access.
