An email platform you can trust.
The protection of your data and your recipients' data is our primary design consideration across all MailSeen infrastructure, products, and personnel operations.
Install MailSeen for Gmail - FreeBuilt privacy-first.
These are the commitments we made before writing a single line of code.
Your email content stays private
MailSeen never reads, stores, or analyzes the content of any email you send or receive. Tracking works entirely through pixel load events — we have no access to your words, subjects, or attachments.
Minimal data collection
When a recipient opens a tracked email we record a timestamp, an approximate location derived from their IP (country and city only), and device type. We never store recipient email addresses.
GDPR compliant by design
Our infrastructure is hosted in the EU. We support the right to deletion, provide transparent disclosures, and never sell your data to third parties. Privacy is a product requirement, not an afterthought.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
All data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256. Access to production systems is restricted and requires two-factor authentication.
Exactly what we store.
We believe you should know precisely what data exists about you and your recipients. Nothing in this table is vague by accident.
| Data | Why we collect it | How it is protected | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email open events | Core tracking functionality | Encrypted at rest in EU data centre | 90 days (Free) · 365 days (Pro) |
| Open timestamp | Show when the email was read | Encrypted at rest | Same as above |
| Country & city | Show approximate location of open | IP is not stored — only the derived location | Same as above |
| Device type & OS | Show device used to open email | User-agent parsed on receipt, raw string discarded | Same as above |
| Your Gmail address | Account identification via Google OAuth | OAuth token only — email never stored as plaintext | Until account deletion |
