Privacy Policy
Last updated:
The Extension is designed to process email content only when you trigger AI features. The proxy service does not store your full email content as application data.
This Privacy Policy explains how ChatGPT for Gmail (the “Extension”) processes information when you use it inside Gmail. This policy is provided by the ChatGPT for Gmail Team.
Summary
- The Extension sends email content to an AI model provider (via a proxy API) to generate summaries and replies.
- The proxy server does not store your full email content as application data.
- Generated summaries and replies are saved only in your browser extension local cache so you can view history; clearing your browser/extension cache removes them.
- Our website (including this policy page) uses third-party analytics tools (Google Analytics and PostHog) which may use cookies or local storage to understand website usage.
- Besides an email address you provide for subscription checks, we do not ask you for additional personal details; however, operational logs and website analytics may collect device information and IP address.
Information We Process
Email content
When you use features like Summary, AI Reply, or Translate, the Extension reads the email content on the page and sends it to the AI service to produce an output.
Account email (for plan checks)
You can enter your email address in Settings. The proxy service may use this address to check subscription status and enforce usage limits.
Local cache
The Extension stores the latest generated summaries and replies in local browser storage so you can switch between versions (history). This data stays on your device.
Operational logs
The proxy service may record minimal operational metadata (such as request time, status, model used, and rate-limit counters) to operate the service and prevent abuse.
Website analytics (this site)
When you visit our website, analytics tools may collect usage data such as page views, referrer, approximate location (derived from IP), browser/device information, and cookie/local storage identifiers. These analytics tools are used on our public website and do not have access to the contents of your Gmail inbox.
How We Use Information
- To generate summaries, replies, and translations.
- To check subscription status and apply free/paid access rules.
- To prevent abuse and keep the service reliable.
- To provide support and debugging when needed.
Data Retention
Generated summaries and replies are stored only in your local browser extension cache. Clearing the cache removes them. The proxy service does not store your email content as application data.
Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third parties to operate:
- AI model providers: Email content is sent to a third-party AI model provider (via an OpenAI-compatible API) to generate outputs.
- Analytics (website only): Our website uses Google Analytics and PostHog to understand website usage. These tools may use cookies or local storage.
- Payments: Subscription checkout is handled by a third-party payment provider. We do not receive your full payment card details; we use purchase status to provide paid access.
Third-party services process data under their own terms and policies. Please avoid using the Extension with sensitive or confidential information if you are not comfortable with this processing.
