Privacy & user guide

Privacy, authorized use & user guide

A plain-language guide to what EmailFinderSM does, what it does not do, and how to manage your data.

Current browser-based version
Important: Only process contact information you have permission or another valid basis to use. A page being publicly viewable does not automatically authorize bulk collection or outreach.

1. What the app does

Finding a string that looks like an email address does not prove the address exists, belongs to a particular person, or can receive messages.

2. Where data is stored

In the current version, contacts, saved lists, and import-history metadata are stored in browser local storage on the device and browser you use. They are not automatically synced to a cloud account by this app.

3. Export and delete your data

  1. Open Settings and choose Export all data to download a JSON backup of the app's contacts, saved lists, and import-history metadata.
  2. Store exported files somewhere secure. A downloaded backup is outside the app's local-storage controls.
  3. Use the clear-all control in Settings only after reviewing its confirmation; it removes the app's three local data sets from this browser.
  4. You can also export CSV data from the relevant pages. Exporting does not delete the original records.

Clearing the app's local keys does not erase files you already downloaded, browser backups, or copies you made elsewhere.

4. Authorized use and source limits

5. Practical quick start

  1. For a single authorized contact, use Contact organizer and record its source details.
  2. For text or a file you are allowed to process, open Bulk extractor, paste or select the input, then review the results.
  3. Save relevant results to a named list, check duplicates, and export only what you need.
  4. Review Import history for metadata about recent imports.
  5. Make a backup from Settings before clearing browser data or switching devices.

6. Limitations and security

This page describes the current app behavior, not a guarantee that every browser or deployment behaves identically. The app does not currently provide accounts, cloud sync, external platform connectors, or proof that an email address is deliverable. Browser local storage is not encrypted by this app as a separate security layer.

If you believe a record was collected or used improperly, stop processing it and remove it from the app and any exported copies you control.
