I've downloaded your Chrome Extension and examined your source code.
First you save the user e-mail in a variable:
var user_email;
chrome.identity.getProfileUserInfo(function(userInfo) {
user_email = userInfo.email;
});
And ... on the first submit, you send this mail to your servers:
$.post("https://emailmatcher.com/find", {
domain: domain,
name: name,
user_email: user_email
});
IMHO, it's not a good way to build a mail database....
Hey guys!
John from Amplemarket here. I’m very excited to launch Emailmatcher on Product Hunt!
Emailmatcher helps you find anyone’s email address in a matter of seconds. We just need the name and domain. Our database has upwards of 280 million contacts so we hope we can find who you are looking for!
Emailmatcher also has a chrome extension.
Emailmatcher is completely free and there are no limits (just please be nice :)

It's been hit and miss in my case when I tested it but more importantly where is the Privacy option.
This is the 2nd such product on PH in the last 2 weeks and I have to say - not a fan.
I want there to be an option like a Do Not Call list, where I can put in my email address and you won't pass it on to someone i'm sick and tired of receiving spam emails from companies that I have no interest in doing business with that get our emails through email lists, and services like this one.
Please protect users too!

Interesting, just a healthy reminder here that you shouldn't be marketing to anyone in the EU, Canada or Australia using this method.
The proliferation of tools like this explains the cold emails I (not a decision maker, 1 of hella employees worldwide) receive from all kinds of startups.
This is interesting because I was looking for such a tool yesterday and found email-checker (http://email-checker.net/). What would be useful for me is if EmailMatcher can play around with different combinations of names and check to see if the email is valid, instead of suggesting one that may not be valid at all. For example, if I typed "John Smith", it could look for different variations like j.smith or john.smith @ domainname.com and return one that's valid. This will help me uncover email addresses that are difficult to get. I won't need to manually guess emails like john@domainname.com as the site does it for me (like when a domain name I want is unavailable, GoDaddy suggests different variations)

I hate leaving a negative comment, but I've seen probably 10 versions of this exact tool on HN and Inbound.org. The title is also misleading "anyones email" is not accurate, they have to have a corporat email, which I'd venture to guess is less than 10% overall.
