Thanks for picking this up, I thought about trying it out and am very glad that you did go through it.

I don’t think I would touch it anymore.

I already explained in a reply:

"All these processes happen on your browser(device). The extension uses the Gmail API locally on your browser to perform all the necessary tasks. Your emails never get sent to any external server."

Hope you give it a try.

Sorry I feel like you really need to make the FAQ and legal terms a lot clearer.

Otherwise I think a lot of people would be easily deterred by the current/similar statements.

Thank you for sharing and taking the time to answer questions though.

I totally understand. Unfortunately, that particular statement was required by Google OAuth verification team to verify InboxPurge. I'll figure out a way to make it clearer. Thank you.
