Privacy policy
Trackex is a personal, open-source project. This page explains exactly what it does with your data.
What Trackex reads
With your permission, Trackex reads your Gmail using the read-only scope. It looks for emails about job, internship, fellowship and hackathon applications and events. It never sends, deletes, archives or labels mail. It also creates and manages a single calendar named “Trackex” in your Google Calendar; it cannot see or change your other calendars.
What Trackex stores
- Your Google account ID, name, email address and profile picture URL.
- Application and event metadata: company, role, status, dates, deadlines, links, and the subject line of the latest related email.
- An encrypted Google refresh token (AES-256-GCM), used so syncing works while you are away.
Trackex does not store email bodies. Message text is processed in memory during a sync and discarded.
AI processing
When an Anthropic API key is configured, the text of relevant emails is sent to Claude (Anthropic) to extract structured details such as company, role and dates. Anthropic's API terms apply to that processing. If no key is configured, Trackex uses simple keyword rules locally and nothing is sent to a third party.
Retention and deletion
Data is kept while your account is connected. Use “Disconnect & delete data” in the dashboard menu at any time: this revokes Trackex's access with Google and permanently deletes your stored data. You can also revoke access from your Google Account permissions page.
No ads, no selling
Trackex has no advertising or analytics trackers, and your data is never sold or shared for any purpose other than running the features described above.
Google API usage
Trackex's use of information received from Google APIs is limited to providing the features above. The app is currently unverified by Google, so you will see a warning screen once when signing in.
