Overview

Gmail Task Creator is a browser extension that creates Google Tasks directly from Gmail. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data the extension accesses, what it stores, and what it never does.

Data We Access

When you use the extension, it accesses the following data solely to perform the action you requested:

Data	Why
Email subject line	Pre-fills the task title
Email body (first ~300 characters)	Pre-fills the task notes
Current Gmail page URL	Embeds a link back to the email in the task
Google account email address	Remembered so you are not prompted to pick an account on every use

Data We Store

The extension stores the following data locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local:

Stored item	Purpose	Where
OAuth access token	Authenticates requests to the Google Tasks API	Your browser only
Token expiry time	Knows when to re-authenticate	Your browser only
Your Google account email	Skips the account picker on subsequent sign-ins	Your browser only

This data never leaves your browser except as part of authenticated requests to Google's own APIs (described below).

Data We Send to Third Parties

The extension communicates only with Google's official APIs:

Google Tasks API (tasks.googleapis.com) — to create the task you requested
Google OAuth (accounts.google.com) — to authenticate your Google account
Google userinfo endpoint (www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo) — to retrieve your email address after sign-in

No data is sent to any other server, analytics service, or third party.

Data We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, transmit, or store your email content on any server
We do not track your browsing activity
We do not use analytics or advertising SDKs
We do not sell, share, or monetize any data
We do not have a backend server — the extension communicates directly between your browser and Google

Permissions Explained

Permission	Why it is needed
`identity`	Opens the Google OAuth sign-in popup
`storage`	Saves the access token and account email locally in your browser

`https://tasks.googleapis.com/*`	Creates tasks via the Google Tasks API

Data Retention

All locally stored data (token, email) remains in your browser until:

You click Switch in the extension panel, which clears it immediately, or
You uninstall the extension, which removes all stored data automatically

Children's Privacy

This extension is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from children.

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will be updated. Continued use of the extension after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
