Privacy & Email Safety

EarBox is designed around data minimization. We only process newsletters and we do not process personal email.

The core promise

- You connect Gmail once. We request the minimum permissions required to detect newsletters.

- We apply two filters before processing: Gmail categorization, then a List‑Unsubscribe check.

- If it’s not a newsletter, we drop it. Your personal emails never reach our pipeline.

How the filtering works

- Step 1: Gmail categorizes mail (e.g. Promotions / Updates).

- Step 2: We receive a “new mail” notification.

- Step 3: Before processing, we verify List‑Unsubscribe.

- Step 4: If it’s a newsletter, we generate an audio briefing. Otherwise we discard it.

What we don’t do

- We don’t read your personal emails.

- We don’t analyze attachments.

- We don’t sell email data.

Testing mode & waitlist

During Google testing mode, access is invite‑only and limited to a small number of testers. The public landing page collects emails for a waitlist, and users are onboarded manually.
