Email Finder — Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2, 2026
Summary: Email Finder works 100% locally. It reads the current page's DOM to find emails and generates patterns from user input. No data is collected, transmitted, or shared with any server.
What the extension does
Email Finder helps you discover email addresses on web pages by scanning the page's HTML content (text, mailto links, meta tags, JSON-LD schemas, data attributes). It also generates common email patterns from a name and domain you provide.
How it works
- When you click the extension icon, a scanner script reads the current page's DOM elements to extract visible email addresses.
- All extraction happens locally in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
- The pattern generator creates email combinations from names you type — this is pure string manipulation, with no network requests.
- History is stored locally in Chrome's storage on your device.
Data collected
- None. The extension makes zero network requests. No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry.
Data stored locally
- Email history — previously found/generated emails are saved in
chrome.storage.local for your convenience. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time from the History tab.
