Email Cleaner finds newsletters in your Gmail inbox and unsubscribes you in one click. Almost everything it does happens by controlling the Gmail page already open in your browser — not by reading your mail through a server we run. This page explains exactly what that means, including the one Google sign-in step and its narrow scope.
Email Cleaner is built around one rule: your email content never leaves your device. Once you sign in, it scans the Gmail tab you already have open, groups mail by sender, and clicks Gmail's own "Unsubscribe" and "Delete" controls on your behalf. There is no Email Cleaner server that receives your inbox, your contacts, or anything you've written or received.
The two exceptions to "nothing leaves your device" are both narrow and described in full below — the Google sign-in step, which reads label counts only and never message content, and two small images (your own account photo, and sender site icons) loaded from Google's own servers for a nicer-looking list.
Once signed in, opening Email Cleaner on a Gmail tab reads the page you're already looking at — sender names, addresses, and message counts — directly out of the browser DOM. Unsubscribing means clicking the link or button Gmail itself already shows for that sender. Deleting means selecting those messages and clicking Gmail's own Delete action, so mail always lands in your normal Gmail Trash and stays recoverable for 30 days, exactly as if you'd deleted it yourself.
None of this is transmitted anywhere. Your local settings are saved
with chrome.storage.local, a storage area private to
your browser profile. We never see it.
Email Cleaner requires you to sign in with your Google Account before you can use it. This is a login step, not a wider data grant — it exists so that only people who've actually signed in can use the extension, while Google reviews it for public release. It requests exactly one Google API scope:
You can revoke access at any time from myaccount.google.com/permissions — you'll simply be asked to sign in again the next time you want to use Email Cleaner.
These are the only two things Email Cleaner ever requests over the network that aren't already part of Gmail's own page:
coursera.org), never by your address or the sender's full email, so the newsletter list shows real logos instead of plain initials.Both are purely visual. Neither is required for scanning, unsubscribing, or deleting.
Chrome shows you these when you install Email Cleaner. Here's what each one is actually for:
| Permission | What it's for |
|---|---|
| activeTab | Lets the extension see the Gmail tab you're on only when you click its icon — not any other tab, and not in the background. |
| storage | Saves your local settings on your device only. |
| identity | Powers the mandatory Google sign-in described above. |
| mail.google.com | The one site this extension is allowed to run on — it cannot read or act on any other website. |
We don't retain anything, because we don't collect anything to retain. Your local settings live in your browser profile until you clear them or uninstall the extension, at which point Chrome removes them automatically. Revoking Google access (see §02) removes Email Cleaner's ability to request label counts immediately.
chrome://extensions; nothing persists afterward.If what Email Cleaner accesses changes — a new feature, a wider scope — this page will be updated first, with a new effective date above, before that change ships.
