Eyesent Privacy Policy

Effective: October 26, 2026

Eyesent is a Chrome extension and the eyesent.com service that tells you when a Gmail message you sent is opened and returns selected messages to your Inbox at a chosen time. This page explains what data Eyesent handles, and what it never touches.

What Eyesent collects

• Your account: your email address (and your name if you sign in with Google). Sign-in is by email magic link or Google sign-in.
• Messages you choose to track: the subject line and the recipient email addresses of those messages. Eyesent never reads, stores, or sends the body of your emails.
• Open events: when a recipient opens a tracked message, their mail app loads a tiny invisible image from our server. We record the time and the basic device/browser identifier (user-agent) their app sends.
• Your settings: whether tracking is on, excluded people/domains and reminder presets.
• Optional Gmail reminders: when you connect Gmail, we store your Google account email, authorization scope and refresh token so scheduled reminders work while your browser is closed. For selected reminders we read and store message/thread identifiers, Inbox and unread labels, the chosen delay/label, due time and processing status. We request only message identifiers and labels, not email body content.

How Eyesent uses it

• To show you which of your sent messages were opened, and when.
• To send you sign-in links and open-alert emails (delivered by our email provider, Resend).
• To manage the early-access waitlist.
• With your separate Gmail consent (gmail.modify), to remove selected messages from your Inbox and restore them when due or cancelled. Reminders do not send mail on your behalf. You can revoke access through your Google Account permissions; pending reminders then cannot return messages until reconnected.

What Eyesent never does

• No reading or storing of email body content.
• No advertising, no selling or renting of data, no third-party analytics or trackers.
• No tracking of messages you did not send from Gmail with tracking switched on.

If you receive a tracked email

Someone using Eyesent has sent you a message that contains a tiny invisible image hosted on eyesent.com. When your mail app displays the message and loads that image, Eyesent records the time and the user-agent your app sends, and tells the sender the message was opened. No other information about you is collected.

Storage and retention

Data is stored on our server (hosted by DigitalOcean) and kept while your account exists. You can ask for a copy or deletion of your data at any time by emailing us, and we will remove your account, tracked messages, recipients, open events, settings, Gmail tokens and reminder records.

Security

All traffic uses HTTPS. Access to your data requires your sign-in token. During early access, sign-in is limited to an allowlist.

Google user data

Google user data is used only for these user-facing features. It is not sold, used for advertising, or used to train generalized AI/ML models. Eyesent's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is posted on this page with an updated effective date.
