InboxPilot

Never lose the next step in Gmail

Privacy Policy

What data does InboxPilot store?

When you use InboxPilot, the extension stores the following locally on your device (in Chrome's built-in storage and IndexedDB):

Data	Where	Why
Thread items (next steps, waiting, blockers, risks, follow-ups)	Your device	The core feature — captured actions from your email threads
Contacts auto-extracted from email signatures (name, email, company, title)	Your device	To enrich thread items with context
Activity log (e.g., "email received from X")	Your device	Timeline display in the panel
Reminders you set	Your device	Chrome Alarms API to notify you at due time
Preferences (theme, notification toggles)	Your device	Remember your settings
Time-saved metrics (count of auto-captures, etc.)	Your device	The "Time saved this week" widget

What data does InboxPilot NOT store?

• We don't read the body of your emails
• We don't save email attachments
• We don't collect your Gmail password or account credentials
• We don't store who you email or who emails you, outside of items you explicitly capture
• We don't use cookies or tracking pixels
• We don't log-analyze your usage

Does data ever leave my device?

No. InboxPilot:

• Does not communicate with any external server
• Does not use OAuth or the Gmail API
• Does not transmit any data to us, to Google, or to any third party
• Runs entirely as a local layer on top of Gmail

The only Chrome permissions we request are:

• storage — to save your items on your device
• alarms — to wake the extension for reminders you set
• notifications — to show desktop notifications for due items
• sidePanel — to open the InboxPilot panel next to Gmail
• mail.google.com host access — to inject the UI into Gmail

We do not request:

• identity (no Google sign-in)
• history, cookies, tabs, or any other invasive permission
• Access to any site other than Gmail

What information does Gmail see?

The extension reads Gmail's DOM (the visible page) to display contact data you already see. It never sends anything to Gmail that wasn't already there. Gmail (Google) sees the same activity it always does — you reading your own inbox.

Can InboxPilot developers see my data?

No. There are no developer-accessible servers, databases, or logs. Your data exists only in your Chrome profile.

What happens if I uninstall?

When you remove InboxPilot from Chrome, all data stored by the extension is automatically deleted by Chrome, along with the extension itself. There is nothing left behind on any server because nothing was ever sent to a server.

Export & Deletion

You have full control over your data:

• Export: Settings → "Export Data" creates a JSON file of everything the extension stored
• Delete: Settings → "Clear All Data" wipes everything instantly

Third-party services

None. InboxPilot has zero third-party integrations, analytics SDKs, crash reporters, or external APIs.

Children's privacy

InboxPilot is a productivity tool for adult professionals. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). Since we don't collect data from anyone, this is automatic.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes (e.g., if we add an optional cloud-sync feature), we will update this document and notify users via the extension before any new data is collected.
