Clipmail for Notion: privacy policy

Last updated 30 October 2026

The short version

  • Clipmail reads only the email you have open in Gmail, and only while you use Clipmail on it.
  • When you press Save, that email goes straight to the Notion database you picked. We do not keep a copy.
  • We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models.

What Google user data Clipmail accesses

Clipmail requests three Google permissions (OAuth scopes):

  • gmail.addons.execute: lets Clipmail run as a Gmail add-on in the side panel.
  • gmail.addons.current.message.readonly: read-only access to the one email you have open, and only while you use Clipmail on it. From that email Clipmail reads the subject, sender, recipients, date, body (text, formatting and inline images) and attachments. It cannot read the rest of your mailbox, and it cannot send, change, label or delete any email.
  • script.external_request: lets Clipmail make HTTPS requests from Google’s servers to Notion’s API (to create the page), to our Notion sign-in service and to Polar (to check a license key). No other hosts can be contacted.

Google may also show your Google account email address on the consent screen; Clipmail does not read, store or send it anywhere.

How Clipmail uses Google user data

Clipmail uses the open email for one purpose: when you press Save to Notion, it turns that email into a page in the Notion database you chose, with its formatting, images and attachments. It shows the email’s subject in the side panel so you can see what will be saved. Nothing is read or sent until you press Save. Clipmail does not use Google user data for advertising, profiling, analytics, or training AI or machine-learning models, and no person reads it.

How Clipmail shares, transfers or discloses Google user data

  • Notion (the only recipient of email content). When you press Save, the email is sent from Google’s servers directly to Notion’s API, into the workspace and database you connected and chose. From then on it is governed by your agreement with Notion.
  • Our sign-in service. When you connect Notion, a small service we run on Cloudflare receives the sign-in from Notion and holds your Notion tokens for at most 10 minutes until Clipmail collects them, then deletes them. Token refreshes also pass through it and are not stored. It never receives Gmail data.
  • Polar. If you buy Pro, Polar (our merchant of record) handles payment and issues your license key. Clipmail sends only the license key to Polar to check it is valid. Polar never receives Gmail data.

We do not sell, rent or share Google user data with anyone else, including advertisers, data brokers or AI companies. We would disclose data only if required by law.

How Clipmail stores and protects data

  • No copy of your emails. Clipmail has no database of its own. Email content passes from Gmail to Notion in memory on Google’s servers and is not stored by Clipmail.
  • Encrypted in transit. Every request (to Notion, our sign-in service and Polar) uses HTTPS (TLS). Clipmail is allowed to contact only those three hosts.
  • Settings in your own Google account. Your Notion tokens, the database you last used, your monthly save count, links to pages you saved and your license key are stored in Google Apps Script’s per-user storage, which only Clipmail running as you can read and which Google encrypts at rest.
  • Short-lived tokens on our side. The sign-in service keeps Notion tokens for at most 10 minutes, encrypted at rest by Cloudflare, and deletes them as soon as Clipmail collects them. Its Notion client secret is held as an encrypted secret, not in code.
  • Access. Only the developer can reach the Google Cloud, Apps Script and Cloudflare accounts. Error logs record an error message or code only, never email content or tokens.

Google API Services User Data Policy

Clipmail’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google user data is used only to save the email you choose to Notion, is not transferred to anyone except Notion for that purpose, is not used for advertising, and is not read by people.

Deleting your data

Choose Disconnect Notion in Clipmail’s settings to delete your Notion tokens from your Google account. Uninstalling Clipmail removes the rest. Pages already saved stay in your Notion until you delete them there. To remove your purchase records, email us.
