Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the Chrome extension Gmail Bulk Attachments Downloader handles user data, Gmail data, Google OAuth permissions, downloaded attachments and locally stored settings.

The extension is designed to help users scan their own Gmail mailbox, filter email attachments and download selected attachments locally through the browser.

1. Information We Access

When the user connects a Gmail account, the extension may access limited Gmail data required to provide its core functionality.

The extension may process the following information:

• Email metadata, such as message IDs, subject lines and dates.
• Email attachment metadata, such as filenames, MIME types and attachment IDs.
• Email attachment content, only when the user chooses to download matching attachments.
• The Gmail account authorization token provided by Google OAuth through the Chrome Identity API.
• User-selected filters, such as attachment type, date range, subject filters and filename filters.
• Local extension settings and limited local download history shown inside the extension interface.

The extension does not require access to send emails, delete emails, modify emails or manage the user's Gmail account.

2. Purpose of Data Access

Gmail data is accessed only to provide the features clearly described in the extension:

• Connect to the user's Gmail account with permission.
• Scan Gmail messages for attachments matching the selected filters.
• Display a preview count of matching attachments before downloading.
• Filter attachments by file type, subject, filename and date range.
• Download selected attachments locally to the user's computer.
• Preserve original attachment filenames where possible.

Gmail data is not used for analytics, advertising, profiling, resale, training artificial intelligence models, or any purpose unrelated to the user-facing functionality of the extension.

3. Gmail API and Google OAuth Permissions

The extension uses Google OAuth authentication to request access to the user's Gmail account. The requested Gmail permission is used only to read messages and attachments required for the selected filters.

The extension should request the minimum Gmail permission necessary for its functionality, such as:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly

This permission allows the extension to read Gmail messages and attachments. The extension does not use this permission to modify, delete, send or organize emails.

4. Google API Limited Use Disclosure

Gmail Bulk Attachments Downloader's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

The use of information received from Google APIs will also adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

In particular:

• Google user data is used only to provide the extension's attachment scanning and downloading features.
• Google user data is not sold or transferred to third parties for advertising purposes.
• Google user data is not used for serving ads, retargeting or user profiling.
• Google user data is not used to determine creditworthiness, lending eligibility or similar purposes.
• Google user data is not used to train machine learning or artificial intelligence models.
• Google user data is not read by humans except where required for security, legal compliance or user-requested support, and only with the user's explicit permission where applicable.

5. Local Processing and Storage

The extension runs inside the user's Chrome browser. Matching attachments are downloaded locally to the user's computer using Chrome's download system.

The extension may store limited data locally using Chrome extension storage, including:

• Selected filters and interface preferences.
• Download counter information used by the extension.
• Local download history displayed inside the extension interface.
• Authentication state required to keep the user connected.

This locally stored information remains in the user's browser environment and can be removed by clearing extension data, removing the extension or using available reset/clear options inside the extension where provided.

6. Data We Do Not Collect

The extension does not intentionally collect or transmit the following data to external servers:

• Full Gmail mailbox contents.
• Email bodies for unrelated purposes.
• Downloaded attachments.
• Personal contact lists.
• Payment information.
• Browsing history unrelated to the extension functionality.
• Location data.
• Health, biometric or sensitive personal information unrelated to Gmail attachments.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent or trade user data.

We do not share Gmail messages, Gmail metadata or downloaded attachments with third parties for advertising, analytics, profiling or marketing purposes.

Data may be disclosed only if required by law, legal process, security obligations or to protect the rights, safety and integrity of users, the extension or others.

8. External Servers and Network Requests

The core Gmail attachment scanning and downloading functionality is performed through the user's browser and Google's Gmail API.

The extension may connect to Google services for OAuth authentication and Gmail API requests. It may also open the official extension website for support, documentation or product information.

Gmail attachments downloaded by the user are saved locally through Chrome and are not uploaded by this extension to our own external servers.

9. User Controls

Users remain in control of their data and can:

• Choose which Gmail account to connect.
• Select filters before scanning or downloading attachments.
• Preview the number and type of matching attachments before downloading.
• Open the local output/download folder after downloads.
• Clear local extension data by removing the extension from Chrome.
• Revoke Google account access at any time.

10. How to Revoke Gmail Access

Users can revoke the extension's access to their Google account at any time:

1. Open your Google Account.
2. Go to Security.
3. Open Third-party apps & services or Connections.
4. Find Gmail Bulk Attachments Downloader.
5. Remove access.

After access is removed, the extension will no longer be able to access Gmail data unless the user authorizes it again.

11. Data Retention

The extension does not maintain a remote database of Gmail messages or downloaded attachments.

Any local settings, counters or local history stored by the extension remain in the user's browser until the user clears them, resets browser data or removes the extension.

Downloaded files remain on the user's computer and are controlled entirely by the user.

12. Security

The extension uses Google's OAuth authentication flow and Chrome extension APIs to access Gmail data. Access tokens are handled through Chrome's identity system where applicable.

While no system can guarantee absolute security, the extension is designed to minimize data access, avoid unnecessary data transfer and process Gmail attachments locally whenever possible.

13. Children’s Privacy

Gmail Bulk Attachments Downloader is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through this extension, please contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the extension, legal requirements, Google API requirements or Chrome Web Store policies.

When changes are made, the effective date at the top of this page will be updated.
