Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 2025
Overview
NitroInbox is built with privacy as a core principle. We believe your email is your business, and we've designed our application to keep it that way. This policy explains how we handle your information.
Email Privacy - Local Processing
Your emails stay on your device. NitroInbox processes all email data locally:
- Local AI: All AI categorization, summarization, and analysis runs on your device using local models. Your email content is never sent to external AI services.
- Direct Connection: NitroInbox connects directly to Gmail and Microsoft 365 servers. Your emails flow from the email provider to your device - we never see or store your email content.
- Local Storage: Email cache, settings, and AI models are stored locally on your device.
- No Cloud Sync: We do not sync your email data to any cloud servers.
Email Service Authentication
When you connect Gmail or Microsoft 365 accounts:
- OAuth 2.0: We use industry-standard OAuth authentication. You authenticate directly with Google or Microsoft - we never see your password.
- Access Tokens: OAuth tokens are stored locally on your device, encrypted at rest.
- Minimal Permissions: We request only the permissions necessary to read and send email on your behalf.
- Revocable Access: You can revoke NitroInbox's access at any time through your Google or Microsoft account settings.
Desktop Application
The NitroInbox desktop app is designed for privacy:
- No Telemetry: We do not collect usage analytics, crash reports, or telemetry data.
- No Tracking: We do not track which emails you read, how you categorize them, or any usage patterns.
- Offline Capable: Core features work offline. Internet is only needed to sync with email providers.
Website and Optional Account
If you create an optional NitroInbox account or use our website:
- Account Data: Email address and name (if provided) for account management.
- Preferences: Optional preference sync if you choose to enable it.
- Website Analytics: Privacy-focused, aggregated analytics on our website (no personal tracking).
What We Do NOT Collect
- Email content, attachments, or metadata
- Contact lists or address books
- Email passwords or credentials
- Usage patterns or behavioral data
- Device identifiers or fingerprints
- Location data
Data Security
We implement appropriate security measures:
- OAuth tokens encrypted at rest on your device
- HTTPS for all network communications
- No sensitive data transmitted to our servers
- Regular security updates for the application
Third-Party Services
NitroInbox integrates with:
- Gmail (Google): Subject to Google's Privacy Policy when you connect your Gmail account.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services.

You have the right to:
- Disconnect your email accounts at any time
- Delete all local data by uninstalling the application
