Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Introduction
HexaBee is an invoice-payments platform: merchants add HexaBee pay links to their invoices and their customers pay through a hosted checkout. An optional Chrome extension helps Gmail™ users process and pay invoices directly from their inbox.
This Privacy Policy explains how HexaBee accesses, uses, and protects user data.
Gmail™ is a trademark of Google LLC.
User Action Requirement (Gmail™ extension)
The HexaBee extension only accesses Gmail™ data after you take an explicit action, such as opening an email and choosing to process invoice information.
The extension does not access Gmail™ data in the background and does not read unrelated emails.
The extension does not access Gmail™ data when it is inactive.
