Privacy Policy — MF Tracker

Last updated: 2026-09-19

MF Tracker is a personal, single-user mutual fund portfolio tracker. This page describes how it uses the Gmail API.

What it accesses

MF Tracker requests read-only access to Gmail (gmail.readonly scope) for exactly one purpose: to locate and download a Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) PDF attachment emailed by a mutual fund registrar (e.g. CAMS), so it can be parsed into the owner's private portfolio database.

What it does with the data

It searches for messages matching a specific sender address and downloads the PDF attachment from a matching message, if one exists. No email content, subject lines, or other message data is read, stored, or transmitted anywhere beyond what is needed to identify and download that one attachment.

Data storage and sharing

The downloaded PDF is parsed locally within the owner's own automation (a private GitHub Actions workflow) and the resulting mutual fund transaction data is written to the owner's own private database. No data is sold, shared, or made available to any third party.

Who uses this

This is a personal project with a single user — its owner. It is not distributed or offered to the public.
