Privacy & data practices
Effective 2026-07-17
Trackery is a Gmail engagement tool: it tells you when messages you send get opened and which links get clicked. This page explains exactly what data that requires, what it's used for, and what it is never used for.
What Trackery collects
- Account basics on sign-in — your email address and name, from your Google account.
- Metadata about messages you choose to track — the subject line, recipient addresses, and sent time.
- Engagement events — opens and clicks, including the IP address and user-agent of each fetch. This is used solely to classify a genuine open apart from a proxy prefetch or a self-open, not to build a profile of you or anyone you email.
Trackery never stores the body content of emails. It only ever sees the metadata above.
What the extension does
The Trackery Chrome extension reads the Gmail page itself (the DOM) to add tracking to messages you send — it uses no Gmail API scopes and never asks Google for access to your mailbox. The only data it sends anywhere goes to Trackery's own service, at app.batohi.com.
Purpose limitation
Your data is used only to provide Trackery's tracking features to the account that created it. It is never sold, never shared with third parties, never used for advertising, and never repurposed for unrelated features.
Retention
Network and raw evidence data are retained for 90 days. That means IP addresses and user-agents recorded on engagement events, and — for a connected mailbox — the raw sender address and message headers we read to work out what happened. After 90 days those raw values are erased.
Derived conversation intelligence may be retained for up to 12 months after a conversation's last activity, so you can review your conversation history and outcomes. This is the conclusion without the raw material: whether a message was a reply, whether it was written by a person or generated automatically, which of your emails it answered, how long it took, and which rules produced that answer.
You can delete data from a connected mailbox earlier, at any time, from your account settings — that removes the stored Gmail credentials and everything we derived from that mailbox. Everything else — your account and all associated data — is deleted on request.
