Privacy Policy

Your data should be handled clearly and responsibly.

This policy explains the information Mail Audit processes to provide Gmail email-open tracking, why it is needed, who helps us operate the service, and the choices available to users.

1. Information Mail Audit collects

Account information

When you sign in with Google, Mail Audit may receive your name, email address, profile image, Google account identifier, and authentication session information. This is used to create and secure your account.

Tracked-email metadata

When you track an email, Mail Audit stores the sender email address, recipient email address, subject, tracking identifier, tracking status, open count, and related timestamps.

Open-event information

When the tracking image is loaded, Mail Audit may record the event time, IP address, browser or email-client user agent, tracking identifier, and whether an event was identified as a sender self-open.

Technical and analytics information

Mail Audit may process limited error logs, browser or device type, page activity, and performance information when analytics is enabled. This is used to maintain security, reliability, and product quality.

Email message body

Mail Audit does not store the text or HTML body of tracked emails in its database. The extension interacts with the Gmail compose interface only as needed to add the tracking image requested by the user.

2. How information is used

  • Provide the email-open tracking feature selected by the user.
  • Display tracked emails, open counts, timestamps, and status information in the Mail Audit dashboard and extension.
  • Authenticate users and protect account access.
  • Identify and exclude supported sender self-opens.
  • Detect abuse, investigate errors, and maintain service reliability.
  • Measure and improve product performance when analytics is enabled.
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations and protect the rights and safety of users and the service.

3. Single purpose and limited use

Mail Audit has one primary purpose: helping Gmail users track whether emails they send are opened and showing related engagement information.

Mail Audit does not sell personal information, use tracked-email data for advertising, or create unrelated profiles about users or recipients.

Google user data

Information received through Google services is used only to provide and improve the user-facing Mail Audit features described in this policy. Mail Audit follows applicable Google API Services User Data Policy and Limited Use requirements.

4. Service providers and sharing

Mail Audit does not sell or rent personal information. Data may be processed by providers needed to operate the product:

  • Google, for account sign-in, Gmail integration, and authentication.
  • Vercel, for application hosting and delivery.
  • Neon, for managed PostgreSQL database hosting.
  • Google Analytics, only when configured, for limited website usage and performance analytics.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate abuse or security incidents, protect users, or complete a business transfer subject to appropriate safeguards.

5. Security and retention

Mail Audit uses reasonable safeguards such as HTTPS encryption, authenticated dashboard access, restricted database access, and environment-based secret management.

Account and tracking information is kept while needed to provide the service, maintain tracking history, resolve security or support issues, meet legal obligations, or until a verified deletion request is completed.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. Users should avoid using Mail Audit for highly sensitive or legally restricted information unless they have an appropriate lawful basis and required notices.

6. Your choices and deletion rights

  • Disable tracking from the extension when you do not want new emails to be tracked.
  • Uninstall the extension to stop its operation in Chrome. Uninstalling alone does not automatically delete server-side account history.
  • Request deletion of your account and associated tracking records through the Data Deletion page.
  • Contact support to ask a privacy question or request correction of inaccurate account information.

7. User responsibility and recipient notice

Users are responsible for using email tracking lawfully and transparently. Depending on the country, organization, relationship, and message context, notice or consent may be required before tracking a recipient.

Mail Audit must not be used for unlawful surveillance, harassment, deceptive activity, spam, discrimination, or any activity that violates another person's rights or applicable platform rules.

8. Children, updates, and contact

Mail Audit is intended for professional users and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children who cannot legally use the service.

This policy may be updated when features, providers, data practices, or legal requirements change. The effective date will be revised when an updated policy is published.
