Privacy Policy

Effective October 24, 2026

InboxBinder is a browser extension made by SwitchGear Studios LLC. It saves the attached and embedded documents of the email you have open in Gmail, plus any you select from earlier messages in the same thread, on your computer as one combined PDF or as a zip of the separate files. This policy describes what the extension does with data, which is very little, and what this website does.

What InboxBinder does with your data

• All processing happens locally in your browser. The extension reads the currently open Gmail message's images and attachments, assembles them into a PDF or puts them in a zip on your computer, and saves that file to your Downloads folder (or a location you choose).
• To list the files on earlier messages in the same thread, the extension also reads Gmail's printable view of that thread, in your own Gmail session. It uses only each earlier message's sender, date and Gmail id, and the names and links of its files and photos. The text of the messages is read in your browser and then discarded: it is never kept or sent anywhere.
• File downloads happen directly between your browser and Google's servers, using your existing Gmail session. Your documents are never sent to SwitchGear Studios or to any third party.

What InboxBinder does not do

• No collection of personal information, email content, attachments, or metadata.
• No transmission of your email or documents anywhere. The extension has no server of its own; the only outside service it contacts is its payment provider, described under "Licensing and payments" below.
• No analytics, telemetry, tracking, or advertising of any kind inside the extension. Two things outside the extension are counted in aggregate, and neither can identify you: visits to InboxBinder's Chrome Web Store listing page, which Google reports to us for its own page, and visits to this website, measured with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and collects no personal data.
• No selling or sharing of data with anyone.

Browser permissions and why they are needed

• Access to mail.google.com and googleusercontent.com: required to read the open message's images and attachments, and the printable view of its thread that lists the files on earlier messages, so they can go into your PDF or zip. Used only when you click the InboxBinder icon.
• Downloads: required to save the finished PDF or zip to your computer.
• Storage: stores one preference (whether to ask where to save), your license state (the free-saves counter and whether a license was found), and short-lived state for the message you have open. That state sits in Chrome's in-memory session storage: your ticks and rotations, the progress and finished result of a save, and the details that identify the message (Gmail's id for it, its date, its subject, its sender's name or email address, the file names, and the addresses of its images and of the files on earlier messages in the thread). It is cleared when you close Chrome and is never transmitted anywhere. ExtensionPay, the payment service, also keeps its own record in Chrome's sync storage: the random installation token, the install date, and a cached copy of your license record, which includes your email address only after you have paid. Apart from that cached license record, none of this contains your documents.

Licensing and payments

• Your first 5 saves are free, and after those you get 2 more free saves every calendar month. Both allowances are counted only on your own computer, in the browser's extension storage. No account or email address is needed for either.
• Each time you open the InboxBinder popup, even while you still have free saves, it checks whether your copy is licensed by sending a randomly generated installation token to ExtensionPay, the payment service InboxBinder uses. The check gives up after 3 seconds and the popup carries on with what it last knew. The token identifies your installation, not you: no name, no email address, and no message content is ever included.
• If you click Subscribe or Restore license, InboxBinder opens ExtensionPay's checkout or sign-in page in a new browser tab. The address of that page carries the same installation token. Nothing else is sent.
• If you buy a license, checkout happens on ExtensionPay's and Stripe's own pages, where you provide your email address and payment details (including a billing address, used for receipts and tax calculation) directly to them under the Stripe privacy policy. SwitchGear Studios never sees or stores your card details.

When you remove InboxBinder

When you remove the extension, Chrome opens a page on this website, inboxbinder.com/goodbye, in a new tab. The extension sends nothing, and the address carries nothing that identifies you or your installation. That address forwards you to a short, optional survey on Google Forms. The form does not collect your email address, and answering is up to you. Any answers you give go to Google Forms under the Google privacy policy, and SwitchGear Studios reads them there.

Data retention

The only lasting artifacts InboxBinder creates are the PDF and zip files it saves at your request, on your own computer, under your control. Your preference and license settings remain in your browser's extension storage (local and sync) until you change them or uninstall the extension. The per-message state described under Storage is cleared when you close Chrome. Purchase records are kept by ExtensionPay and Stripe under their own policies.

Changes to this policy

This policy was updated on October 24, 2026 for version 1.7.0: the extension now reads Gmail's printable view of the open thread to list the files on earlier messages, keeps Gmail's id for a message in its session storage, and can save a zip of the separate files. Chrome also opens an optional survey page when you remove the extension. It was updated on October 9, 2026 for version 1.6.0: the license check now runs each time the popup opens, Subscribe and Restore license open ExtensionPay pages in a new tab, the attachments preference no longer exists, and the in-memory session storage and ExtensionPay's sync storage are now described. It was updated on September 30, 2026 to describe the monthly free allowance that follows the 5 free trial saves. It was updated on September 29, 2026 to say plainly which analytics exist and which do not: none inside the extension, and aggregate visit counts on the Chrome Web Store listing page and on this website. It was updated on September 24, 2026, when paid licensing was introduced, to describe the license check and checkout flow above. If a future version of InboxBinder changes how data is handled, this policy will be updated before that version ships, and the change will be called out in the extension's release notes.
