The short version

The Office Guard Email DLP extension scans your email compose window locally, on your own device, and warns you before you send a message that may contain sensitive information. Nothing you type is ever transmitted to Office Guard, to any third party, or to any server anywhere. This is not a policy promise — it is how the extension is built. There is no network request the scanning code can even make.

1. What the Extension Does
   Office Guard Email DLP monitors the compose window in Gmail, Outlook.com, and Yahoo Mail and warns you before you send a message that may contain sensitive information — before it is too late to catch it. It is designed to prevent accidental disclosures, not to record or report what you write.

Categories of sensitive information the extension detects:

Social Security numbers
Credit card numbers
Bank routing and account numbers
SWIFT/BIC codes
Driver's license and passport numbers
Dates of birth
Bank names and addresses
Employer Identification Numbers (EINs)
Wire transfer instructions (flagged as high priority — wire fraud targeting real estate closings and other high-value transactions is one of the most costly and common email-based attacks today)
2. Information We Collect — None
The Office Guard Email DLP extension does not collect, transmit, store, or share any information about you, your emails, or your device. Every scan happens entirely on your own device, in your own browser.

Because the extension transmits nothing, there is nothing for us to retain. No email content, no scan results, and no usage data from the extension is ever received by Office Guard or any third party.

1. Browser Permissions
   The extension requests access to Gmail, Outlook.com, and Yahoo Mail specifically — and only those sites — in order to read the compose window content and display a warning before sending, if the message may contain sensitive information. It does not run on, or request access to, any other website.

No content is transmitted anywhere. The permission to read compose window content exists solely to perform the local pattern-matching scan and display the in-browser warning.

1. You Are Always in Control
   Every warning includes a clear "Send anyway" option. The extension never permanently blocks an email — it pauses to confirm that a sensitive send is intentional, then respects your decision either way.

Sensitivity levels:

Notify only — quiet heads-up with no confirmation required
Balanced (recommended) — confirmation prompt for higher-risk patterns
Strict — confirmation required for all detected patterns
Individual checks can be turned off independently if a particular category does not apply to how you use email.

1. Who This Extension Is For
   Office Guard Email DLP is especially useful for real estate agents, attorneys, accountants, and anyone else who regularly emails financial or personal information — and who cannot afford a single mistaken send. The extension is not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from minors (though, as noted above, we collect no information from anyone through this extension).
2. Changes to This Policy
   We may update this policy if the extension's functionality changes in a way that affects privacy. We will post any updates on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the extension after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
