Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 5, 2026

KodeMail ("we", "our", or "the app") is a native macOS client for Gmail published by Kodeora. This Privacy Policy explains what information KodeMail accesses, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using KodeMail you agree to this policy.

Summary

• KodeMail does not have a server. We do not collect, store, or transmit your email content, contacts, or credentials.
• Your Gmail session lives entirely on your Mac inside a sandboxed WebKit view, the same way it would in Safari.
• We do not run analytics, advertising, or tracking inside KodeMail.
• Purchases are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details.

What KodeMail accesses

KodeMail loads mail.google.com in a sandboxed WebKit view on your Mac. When you sign in to Gmail, your session cookies and tokens are stored in the macOS-managed WebKit cookie store for the app. KodeMail never reads, copies, or transmits these credentials. Your email content stays between you, Google, and your Mac.

KodeMail reads the following information locally to provide its features:

• Unread counts and email previews from Gmail's web interface, used only to render notifications and the menu bar popover. This information is never sent off your device.
• Your Google profile picture and display name, used to personalize the sidebar and account switcher. These are read from Gmail's web interface and are not shared.
• Recent contacts, extracted from Gmail's interface to power the contacts panel. Stored locally only.

What KodeMail stores on your Mac

• App preferences (theme, zoom, account list, notification settings) in macOS UserDefaults.
• Daily email count statistics for the dashboard, in macOS UserDefaults. This data never leaves your Mac.
• Gmail web session cookies, in the standard sandboxed WebKit cookie store. These are managed by macOS, not by us.

Notifications

If you grant notification permission, KodeMail uses macOS UNUserNotificationCenter to display new mail alerts. Notification content is generated locally on your Mac.

Purchases

KodeMail Pro is sold through Apple's StoreKit 2 In-App Purchase system. Apple handles the transaction. We receive only the anonymized receipt needed to verify your subscription. We do not have access to your payment method, billing address, or full Apple ID.

Third-party services

KodeMail loads Gmail from Google. Your use of Gmail inside KodeMail is also subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. KodeMail is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google. Gmail is a trademark of Google LLC.

Children's privacy

KodeMail is rated 4+ and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

Your choices

• You can sign out of any Gmail account from KodeMail's settings at any time, which clears that session's cookies.
• You can revoke notification permission from System Settings → Notifications → KodeMail.
• You can delete the app at any time. Removing KodeMail removes all locally stored data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of KodeMail after changes means you accept the revised policy.
