  This was actually a website we prepared for investors; we weren't intending a public beta today! But the press found it, and so here we are. That's why you can't see a privacy policy. In the absence of a written policy, we'll "treat users right" which roughly means we'll "treat users how we ourselves would want to be treated". That's not particularly computable, so: the bodies of user's emails never leave the browser. We find email addresses in the browser, and send those back to our server to lookup. The emails themselves never touch our server.

    Perhaps you are already planning this, but I feel that an app of this nature needs to go beyond the usual fine print privacy policy and give a front and center explanation of what it's doing. You could portray this as a feature description rather than a warning, as long as it's crystal clear. That said, nifty idea. I'd like to see more website extensions like this, if there was a better security model.

      Yes, we're planning to be very transparent about what we do. At the moment it's really just a matter of staying on top of all of the unexpected press! Our users' trust is absolutely crucial to what we're doing, so you can expect detailed information on exactly what we do with your private data; and we may also make some things opt-in/opt-out. We have no intention of hiding anything.
