This policy describes how the Auto Email Extractor browser extension (“Extension”) handles information. By using the Extension, you agree to this policy.
1. Summary
The Extension can scan visible web page content for email addresses only when you enable monitoring in the side panel. Detected addresses are stored locally in a single list on your device. The distributed package described here does not send your collected list to the publisher’s servers.
2. Data stored locally
- Monitoring on/off preference.
- Email addresses you chose to collect while monitoring was on, merged into one global list.
This data is kept in Chrome’s local storage under your profile until you clear it, clear the list in the Extension, or uninstall.
3. How the Extension uses permissions
- Side panel: toggle, list, copy, dedupe, and clear; re-reads the latest preference and list from local storage when you show the side panel again.
- Storage: persist the monitoring flag and the global email list.
- Content scripts (http/https): when monitoring is enabled, read visible text and links on pages you visit (main frame, excluding the Chrome Web Store) to find email-like strings.
The Extension does not use the tabs permission; UI updates use local storage, runtime messages, and page visibility in the side panel.
4. Remote servers
The core feature works without a publisher-controlled backend. If a future version adds cloud sync or accounts, this page will be updated and the Extension listing will describe what is sent and why.
5. Lawful use
Email addresses may be personal data. You must collect and use them only where permitted by law and by each website’s terms. No spam, harassment, or unauthorized harvesting.
6. Children
The Extension is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction).
7. Changes
We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date will change. Continued use means you accept the updated policy.
