About BCC Safeguard

BCC Safeguard: Simple Privacy for your Gmail. Have you ever sent a mass email forgetting to use the BCC field and accidentally exposing all your contacts' addresses? BCC Safeguard is your safety net designed to prevent accidental privacy leaks. Key Features: Instant Safety Alert: The extension monitors the number of recipients in the "To" and "CC" fields. If you exceed your safety limit, a clear visual warning appears before you send the message. Zero Resource Impact: Designed with a "zero-footprint" philosophy. It has no background processes and only acts when you are composing an email. Customizable Threshold: You decide what "too many" means. Easily change the recipient limit (default is 5) through the simple settings menu. Total Privacy: The counting is done entirely locally in your browser. We don't read your emails, we don't save your contacts, and no data ever leaves your computer. Technical Note on Precision: Due to how Gmail visually manages contact "chips," the count may occasionally vary (+/- 1). Our philosophy is: Safety over precision. We prefer to warn you once too often than to let a data leak go unnoticed. It is a helpful reminder to always check the BCC field before clicking send. Summary (Resumen corto - Máx. 132 caracteres) Prevent Gmail privacy leaks. Get an alert if you send emails to multiple recipients without using BCC.
