Privacy Policy
Effective September 9, 2026
InboxBinder is a browser extension made by SwitchGear Studios LLC. It saves the email message you have open in Gmail, together with that message's attached and embedded documents, as one combined PDF file on your computer. This policy describes what the extension does with data, which is very little.
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 on your computer, and saves that PDF to your Downloads folder (or a location you choose).
- 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 any data to external servers. The extension has no server of its own.
- No analytics, telemetry, tracking, or advertising of any kind.
- No selling or sharing of data with anyone, because no data is collected in the first place.
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 so they can be combined into your PDF. Used only when you click the InboxBinder icon.
- Downloads: required to save the finished PDF to your computer.
- Storage: stores your two preferences (whether to include attachments, and whether to ask where to save) and short-lived progress state for the current save. This never contains message content and never leaves your browser.
Data retention
The only lasting artifacts InboxBinder creates are the PDF files it saves at your request, on your own computer, under your control. Preference settings remain in your browser's local extension storage until you change them or uninstall the extension.
Changes to this policy
If a future version of InboxBinder ever changes how data is handled (for example, an optional paid feature that requires a license check), this policy will be updated before that version ships, and the change will be called out in the extension's release notes.
