Privacy Policy
How does MailLighter handle your data? With transparency and respect. Last updated: March 2026
Overview
MailLighter is a free Outlook add-in that lightens emails to reduce their environmental footprint. We are committed to keeping your data private and secure. This policy explains what limited information we collect and how we use it.
What We Collect
MailLighter collects very little data. Here is what may be collected:
Contact form
If you contact us through our website, we collect your first name, last name, email address, and message. This data is processed by Web3Forms and sent to us by email. It is never shared with any third party.
Outlook add-in
MailLighter processes your images, attachments, and email text locally within Outlook. None of this personal data is sent to external servers. The add-in does not require an account and does not track your usage.
What We Do NOT Collect
- We do not use cookies or tracking technologies on this website
- We do not use analytics services (no Google Analytics, no tracking pixels)
- We do not collect payment information — MailLighter is free
- We do not require account creation
- We do not sell or share personal data with third parties
- We do not store email content or attachments
How We Use Your Information
The only personal data we may receive, from the contact form, is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use it for marketing or profiling.
Data Security
Our website is served over HTTPS. Contact form submissions are encrypted in transit via Web3Forms' secure API. We do not store form data on our own servers; messages are delivered directly to our email inbox.
Your Rights
Under the GDPR and other applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:
- Access: you may request a copy of any personal data we hold;
- Correction: you may ask us to correct inaccurate information;
- Deletion: you may ask us to delete your personal data.
Since we collect minimal data, exercising these rights is straightforward. Contact us at the address below.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to external sites (GitHub, LinkedIn, Microsoft Marketplace). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Since we do not collect email addresses for notifications, we encourage you to review this page periodically.
