Without wanting to be too pedantic, I'd need to see a privacy policy before you get past the "A third-party service is requesting permission to access your Google Account." page.<p>I'm also not 100% what the content of the email you send me will be. A list of people who email me? What format will the export be in?<p>Nice landing page though!

Doesn't GMail already allow you to export your contacts?<p>It also has a contacts api and IMAP support, so why do I need to use this website to scrape them? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean by scrape?

I could see this being really useful for contact emails addresses (like contact@mycompany.com). This would be perfect to pull out all those addresses of people that have contacted you to include in a newsletter or update.

Cool. Small copy change you might consider is something like "We export your Gmail contacts. And email them to you." Maybe also a sample of what the email's going to look like.

Looks good--and works! One quick piece of advice for users--if you use a separate email client and delete emails from your Gmail inbox after they're downloaded, using the default "Inbox" scraping option will only get you the emails you haven't yet downloaded. Instead, use "Sent Mail" or "All Mail". However, by and large, you'll still only get emails that you sent, not emails sent to you.

How do I know you aren't storing my data long term?<p>Also what is the point in this when gmail already recognizes who I talk to often and adds them to my contacts list? I am just having a hard time understanding this.

Really good idea.<p>Anyone know of good tricks to extract contact info from Outlook email? ( XObni is good; but it doesn't let you export the data atleast not in the free version)..
