Recall Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-09

Recall is a Chrome extension and backend service that helps you track application deadlines you find on the web. This page explains what data Recall collects and how it's used.

What we collect

• Your email address, to log you in (via a one-time code, no password) and identify your account.
• URLs you explicitly save. When you right-click a page/link or drag a link into Recall, the visible text of that page (or the surrounding text of the link) is processed to identify the opportunity. Recall stores the URL and extracted result, not the raw page text.
• Opportunity information such as deadlines, titles, organization names, categories, descriptions, requirements, notes, and deadline-change history.
• Technical metadata needed to avoid unnecessary repeat processing, including a one-way hash of page text and standard HTTP cache headers.
• Connected Gmail data, only if you opt in. Recall requests read-only Gmail access, scans recent messages for likely opportunities, and stores only derived details such as the subject/title, sender, deadline, category, short summary, and a link back to the original message. Full message bodies are processed transiently and are not retained.

Recall does not read your browsing history or your other tabs. Gmail is never accessed unless you explicitly connect it, and connecting Gmail does not permit Recall to send, modify, or delete email.

How we use it

• Saved page text is processed by Recall to identify deadline language and application materials. Recall checks saved source pages once a day and processes them again only when the page appears to have changed.
• Your email is used to send you login codes and, if you enable them, deadline reminder emails, via Resend.
• If you connect Gmail, messages are processed only to identify and manage opportunity deadlines that power user-facing Recall features. Google user data is not used for advertising or to train generalized AI models.
• We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Where it's stored

Saved opportunities and account data are stored in Recall's database. A small amount of state (your login session and local notification history) is stored in your browser via the Chrome extension storage API. Browser storage is not encrypted by Chrome, so Recall never stores payment card details there.

Limited Use

Recall's use and transfer of information received through Chrome extension permissions is limited to providing and improving its deadline-tracking feature. Recall does not use or transfer this information for personalized advertising, creditworthiness, or unrelated purposes, and humans do not read saved page content except with your affirmative consent for support, when required for security or law, or after aggregation and anonymization for internal operations.

Recall's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Payments

Recall is currently operating as a free beta. Paid plans will not be offered until payment processing is available.

Deleting your data

You can disconnect Gmail from the Opportunity Inbox, which revokes Recall's access and deletes unreviewed Gmail-derived candidates. You can delete your account and all associated Recall data from the extension's Settings page. You may also email hello@carolinehaoud.com for help.
