Privacy Policy
Summary
Attachment Clipboard for Gmail does not collect, transmit, sell, or share your personal data. Everything it does happens inside your browser.
What the extension does with your data
- Gmail page content. On mail.google.com the extension reads the attachment cards on the page (file name, type, and download link) so it can show a Hold button. It does not read the text of your emails, your contacts, or your inbox listing.
- Attachments you choose to hold. When you click Hold, the extension downloads that file from Gmail using your existing signed-in session and stores it, encrypted, in your browser's own storage on your device. The file is not uploaded anywhere.
- Attaching. When you choose Attach, the extension hands the stored file to the Gmail compose window you have open, as if you had picked it from your computer.
- Settings and file list. Your chosen retention time, and the names, sizes and expiry times of held files, are saved in the browser's extension storage.
Retention and deletion
Held files are deleted automatically when their retention time ends (15 minutes to 24 hours, or when the browser closes, depending on your setting). You can remove files or clear everything at any time from the clipboard in Gmail or the extension popup. Uninstalling the extension removes all of its stored data.
Data we receive
None. The extension has no developer server, analytics, advertising, tracking, or crash reporting, and it does not load or run remote code.
Third parties
The extension does not send data to any third party. Its only network requests go to Google (mail.google.com and Google's attachment servers) to download attachments you chose to hold, using your own Gmail session.
Permissions
The extension requests storage (to save your settings and the list of held files), alarms (to delete expired files on time), and access to mail.google.com and Google's attachment hosts (to add the Hold button and attach files in Gmail).
Children
The extension is not directed at children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date above will be updated.
