Privacy promise
How we protect your email data
Built for European privacy standards
100% EU infrastructure, zero foreign surveillance exposure, complete transparency about how we handle your email data.
Our core privacy commitments
EU-only infrastructure
All servers, processing, and data storage within European borders. No Cloud Act, no Patriot Act, no foreign jurisdiction exposure.
Minimal data retention
Emails processed and deleted based on your retention settings. No permanent storage, no data mining, no profile building.
Complete transparency
Open about our processes, infrastructure, and data handling. No black boxes, no hidden data sharing, no surprise policy changes.
Zero mailbox access
We never touch your primary email infrastructure. Selective processing through forwarding rules you control.
Why email processing privacy matters
Modern businesses need email processing, but most solutions expose your entire communication history to foreign companies and surveillance laws. We built EmailConnect to prove you don't have to choose between productivity and privacy.
Popular tools like Gmail + Zapier create massive security vulnerabilities most businesses don't realize they're accepting.

What we do
| Practice | Our approach | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Data processing | EU-only servers, selective email parsing | No foreign surveillance exposure |
| Data retention | Your configurable limits, automatic deletion | No permanent data collection |
| Access control | Zero mailbox permissions, forwarding only | Can't access what we don't connect to |
| Audit trail | Complete logs, GDPR Article 30 compliance | Full visibility into data handling |
What we never do
We never
- Store emails beyond your retention settings
- Share data with US companies or surveillance programs
- Build user profiles or behavioral analytics
- Access your primary email infrastructure
- Process emails without explicit forwarding rules
- Share your name or email with payment processors — only an internal reference ID
What belongs where
These tasks belong in YOUR automation layer
Field extraction, semantic parsing, and data transformation should happen in n8n, Make.com, your LLM endpoint, or custom code. Not in your email ingestion infrastructure.
This focus keeps EmailConnect simple, secure, fast
By staying in the infrastructure layer, we can guarantee:
- Predictable behavior — No black-box AI interpretations, no changing parsing logic
- EU data sovereignty — No third-party AI services processing your emails
- Consistent performance — Sub-20s processing regardless of email complexity
- Full control — You decide how to parse, extract, and transform data
