Geething
Privacy Policy
Summary
Geething is a Firefox browser extension. It has no backend server. All data stays on your device. Nothing is collected, transmitted, or shared with anyone.
What data the extension accesses
When you add a Gmail™ account, Geething requests two OAuth 2.0 scopes from Google:
- gmail.modify — reads your inbox to detect new messages and allows you to mark emails as read, archive, move to spam, or delete them directly from the extension.
- userinfo.email — reads your email address so the extension can label each account you add.
Email content (subjects, senders, snippets, and message bodies) is fetched directly from Google's API and displayed locally. It is never sent anywhere else.
What data is stored on your device
The extension stores the following data in Firefox's local extension storage:
- OAuth access and refresh tokens for each account you add.
- Your settings (poll interval, notification preferences, theme, popup width, and similar).
- A small cache of seen message IDs (to avoid showing the same notification twice).
- Account labels, colors, and watched-label preferences you configure.
Firefox encrypts extension storage at rest. Geething does not have access to this data outside of the extension itself.
What data is shared with third parties
None. Geething communicates only with Google's official APIs
(gmail.googleapis.com, oauth2.googleapis.com,
accounts.google.com). No analytics, tracking, advertising, or telemetry of
any kind is present in the extension.
Data retention and deletion
Removing an account from Geething immediately revokes its OAuth token with Google and deletes all locally stored data for that account. Uninstalling the extension removes all stored data from your browser.
You can also revoke Geething's access to any account at any time from Google Account → Security → Third-party access, independently of the extension.
Children's privacy
Geething is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, the effective date above will be updated. The extension source code and this page are both publicly available, so you can always review what data the extension accesses.
