Privacy Policy for Recipient Finder
Last Updated: October 10, 2025
Effective Date: October 10, 2025
1. What We Do
Recipient Finder helps you quickly find email recipients by indexing sender information from your inbox. Think of it as a fast search tool for ”who has emailed me?”
2. What Data We Access and Store
2.1 Contact Index (Stored Locally Only)
What we read from your mailbox:
- Email addresses from the ”From” field
- Display names (e.g., ”John Smith”)
- Timestamps (when the email was received)
Where it’s stored:
- ✅ On your device only (browser’s local storage)
- ❌ Never sent to our servers
- ❌ Never uploaded to the cloud
| Data Type | We Access | We Store Locally | Sent to Servers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sender email addresses | Yes | Yes | No |
| Sender display names | Yes | Yes | No |
| Email timestamps | Yes | Yes | No |
| Email subjects | No | No | No |
| Email body content | No | No | No |
| Attachments | No | No | No |
2.2 Authentication
What we collect:
- Your Microsoft account email address
- Basic profile information (name, photo)
- Authentication tokens (issued by Microsoft, stored temporarily)
Why: To securely authenticate you with Microsoft Graph API.
Storage: Tokens stored in your browser session, expire automatically.
Note: We never see your password—authentication is handled by Microsoft.
2.3 License Information (Sent to Our Server)
What we send to our backend:
- Your Microsoft account ID (unique identifier, not your email)
- Trial activation and expiration dates
- License status (trial/active/expired)
Why: To manage your 30-day trial and subscription.
Storage: Microsoft Azure servers (EU-West region).
Retention: 90 days after subscription ends.
3. Microsoft Graph Permissions
When you sign in, you’ll be asked to approve these permissions:
