InboxNuke – Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
InboxNuke ("we," "our," or "us") is a web-based application that integrates with Google Gmail to help users block unwanted email senders at the domain level. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, store, and protect personal information, including data accessed through Google APIs. InboxNuke complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
2. Information We Collect
When you sign in using Google OAuth, we collect your email address, Google Account ID, and basic profile information. We access Gmail filter settings and labels only — we do not access, read, or store email messages, headers, attachments, or message content. We do not collect or store your Google password.
3. Google Gmail API Access (Filters + Label Only)
InboxNuke connects to a user's Gmail account solely to manage Gmail filters and a single Gmail label used by those filters. InboxNuke does not access, read, process, or store the contents of emails.
Scopes Requested
InboxNuke requests the following Gmail scopes:
-
gmail.settings.basic— to create and delete Gmail filters that the user configures in InboxNuke.
Endpoints used:users.settings.filters.create,users.settings.filters.delete,users.settings.filters.list -
gmail.labels— to create and manage one label (InboxNuke-Blocked) that Gmail filters apply automatically.
Endpoints used:users.labels.create,users.labels.list
What InboxNuke Does NOT Do
- Does not read email messages (no calls to
users.messages.*) - Does not access email bodies, headers, attachments, or metadata
- Does not store or transmit email content off Google's systems
- Does not send emails on behalf of the user
- Does not manage delegation, forwarding, or mailbox sharing
Gmail itself enforces the filters server-side for future incoming email. InboxNuke acts as a configuration tool for Gmail's built-in filtering and labeling features.
4. Data Stored by InboxNuke
InboxNuke stores only the minimum configuration required to operate:
- Blocked domains selected by the user
- The Gmail filter ID(s) created for those domains
- The label ID for InboxNuke-Blocked
- OAuth tokens (encrypted at rest) required to make the above settings changes
5. Data Storage & Security
We implement safeguards including:
- HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data in transit
- OAuth refresh tokens encrypted at rest
- Access-restricted server environments
- Role-based access controls
- Multi-tenant data isolation (all queries scoped by user)
6. Data Retention
We retain user data only as long as necessary to provide the service. Upon account deletion, stored user data is permanently deleted and OAuth tokens are revoked.
7. Third-Party Service Providers
InboxNuke may use trusted infrastructure providers solely to operate the platform under confidentiality obligations. We do not permit third-party advertisers or data brokers access to any user data.
8. Compliance with Google API Services User Data Policy
InboxNuke adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements. Gmail data is used only to provide user-facing features (filter and label management) and is not transferred except as necessary to operate the service. Gmail data is not sold, shared for advertising, or used to train AI models.
9. User Rights
You may revoke Gmail access at any time via https://myaccount.google.com/permissions or request account deletion by contacting support@inboxnuke.com.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the service after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
