All data above is stored in your browser's local extension storage and Chrome sync storage.

What data is sent to our servers

Email operations (required)

• Requests to create, delete, and fetch temporary email addresses
• Requests to fetch and read emails
• Requests to poll for new emails

Authentication (optional)

• If you sign in, your session token is exchanged for an access token via our API
• Your user ID is associated with your email addresses for cross-device sync

Analytics (automatic)

• Anonymous usage events (popup opened, address generated, email read, etc.)
• Browser type and version
• Extension version
• Events are batched and sent periodically

What data we do NOT collect

• We do not read or analyze the content of emails you receive
• We do not sell or share your data with third parties
• We do not inject ads or tracking pixels
• We do not collect your browsing history

Data retention

• Temporary email addresses expire based on server-configured TTL
• Emails are deleted when their associated address expires or is manually deleted
• Analytics events are retained for product improvement purposes
• You can delete your data at any time by removing addresses in the extension

Network requests

The extension communicates exclusively with:

• api.friedapps.com — for all email and address operations
• friedapps.com — for authentication cookie detection

No other external network requests are made by the extension code. Email HTML content is rendered locally in a sandboxed iframe.
