In short: ThreadTrim works entirely inside your browser. It does not collect, send, sell or share any of your data. No account, no servers, no analytics.

What ThreadTrim does

ThreadTrim is a Chrome extension for Gmail. When you reply to an email, it removes older quoted emails from your reply draft, keeping the email you are replying to, so the message you send is shorter.

What it accesses

  • Your Gmail reply draft. To trim it, ThreadTrim reads and edits the content of the reply box on mail.google.com. This happens on your device only, at the moment you open a reply. The content is never stored, logged, or sent anywhere.
  • Nothing else. It does not read your inbox, contacts, calendar, or any other website.

What it stores

  • Your settings (on/off, how much to trim, whether to show the “Trimmed” bar), saved with Chrome’s built-in extension storage. If you use Chrome sync, Chrome syncs these settings between your own devices.
  • Two counters (number of replies trimmed and total size removed), saved on your device only.

No email content, addresses, names, or subjects are stored.

What it sends

Nothing. ThreadTrim makes no network requests. It has no servers, uses no analytics or tracking, and includes no third-party code.

Sharing and selling

ThreadTrim does not sell, transfer, or share user data with anyone, and does not use it for advertising, credit decisions, or any purpose unrelated to trimming your replies.

Removing your data

Uninstalling the extension deletes its settings and counters.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date. If a future version ever needs to handle data differently, it will ask for your permission first.

Removing your data

Uninstalling the extension deletes all of its data: your settings, monthly usage and counters. Chrome removes it from your device and from Chrome sync.
