Data Security
Your email, protected at every step
Inbox3 is built on a simple principle: minimum access, maximum protection. Read-only. Encrypted. No email bodies stored. Ever.
Read-Only Access
We use the gmail.readonly OAuth scope. We literally cannot send, delete, or modify any email. Google enforces this at the API level.
No Email Bodies Stored
Email content is processed in memory during classification and immediately discarded. Only sender, subject, date, and AI summaries are kept.
AES-256 Encryption
OAuth tokens encrypted at rest via AWS KMS. Decrypted only at the moment of API calls. Even with database access, tokens are unusable.
No AI Training
We use Anthropic and OpenAI APIs with data processing agreements. Your email content is never used to train their models.
One-Click Deletion
Delete your account and all associated data instantly. Zero retention, zero backup. When it's gone, it's gone.
No Third-Party Sharing
Your data is never sold, shared with advertisers, or provided to data brokers. It exists solely to generate your personal digest.
