​​
Last Updated: 01/16/2025
Thank you for choosing to use Bulk Gmail PDF Downloader & Exporter (“the Extension”). Your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information in connection with this Extension. Please read this policy carefully.
1. Introduction
​
• Item Name: Bulk Gmail PDF Downloader & Exporter
• Item ID: ommkhbhfjepkcgcfofolfigikcplnfkg
This Extension is designed to help users download and export their selected Gmail email threads as PDF files. We adhere to Google’s Developer Program Policies and strive to ensure your data is handled with utmost care.
2. Information We Collect
2.1. Gmail Data
• When you use the Extension, we request access to the Gmail API (via the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly scope) to read and process the content of the emails you choose to export.
• We only access the email data in the specific Gmail threads you have explicitly selected for export.
• We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your email content to our own servers or any third-party servers.
2.2. OAuth Token
​
• We use Google’s chrome.identity API to obtain an OAuth token that grants read-only access to your Gmail messages.
• This token is stored temporarily in memory (cached) within your browser session so we can request email content.
• When you revoke this token or sign out of the Extension, we remove the cached token.
3. How We Use Your Information
​
• PDF Creation: The sole purpose of retrieving your Gmail data is to transform the content of selected emails into PDF documents, per your request.
• Local Processing: All email data processing and PDF generation occur locally on your device.
• No Storage: We do not permanently store or log your email data on any external or third-party servers.
• No Sharing: We do not share, sell, or otherwise disclose your data to outside parties.
4. Data Retention
​
• Temporary Access: We only access your email threads long enough to generate the PDF(s).
• Token Revocation: You can revoke the Extension’s access at any time through your Google Account permissions or by choosing the “Revoke Token” option in the Extension (if provided). Once revoked, our Extension no longer has access to your data.
5. Disclosure to Third Parties
We do not share your personal information, Gmail data, or generated PDFs with any third parties. The Extension performs all PDF creation within the user’s own browser environment. We do not send your data to external servers for processing.
6. Third-Party Services
• Google APIs: This Extension uses Google’s APIs to access your Gmail messages. Your use of the Extension is also subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
• Other Libraries: The Extension may include third-party libraries for PDF generation. These libraries do not receive or store your personal data; they merely run locally in your browser context to produce the PDF file.
7. Security
• Local Processing: All processing happens locally in your browser.
• Encrypted Connection: Communication with Google APIs takes place over secure (HTTPS) connections.
• Safe Token Handling: OAuth tokens are managed by Google’s Chrome identity system and are not disclosed to unauthorized parties.
8. Your Choices and Controls
• Permission Management: You can grant or revoke the Extension’s access to your Gmail data at any time through your Google Account permissions or in the Extension settings (if available).
• Opt-Out: If you no longer want the Extension to access your Gmail data, uninstall the Extension from your browser or revoke its OAuth token in your Google Account settings.
9. Children’s Privacy
The Extension is not directed toward children under 13, nor do we knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can delete the information.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make significant changes, we will notify you through appropriate means (e.g., Extension update notes or an in-Extension notification). Your continued use of the Extension after any changes to this Privacy Policy indicates your acknowledgment of those changes.
