Security and privacy
What InboxBriefs can read, what it keeps, how it's protected, and what it never does.
Updated November 4, 2026
Read-only access
InboxBriefs reads your emails and calendars for your summaries, tasks and planner. It can't send, delete or change an email, nor change a calendar. Gmail and Outlook go through Google's and Microsoft's official sign-in, read-only.
What is kept
- No copy of your mailboxes: InboxBriefs keeps what it produces (summaries, tasks) and, in teams, the documents filed from attachments.
- Access tokens, IMAP passwords and content are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM). It isn't end-to-end encryption: the server decrypts them to do its work.
- Data is hosted in the United States.
- Your emails only serve your summaries and your questions: nothing is sold or shared for advertising.
In a team
- The space only sees its shared mailboxes: members' personal inboxes stay private.
- An invitation can only be accepted by the address it was sent to.
- Admins choose who can invite, remove, manage mailboxes or automations.
The AI and your data
The assistant never writes or sends an email to your clients. What it reads — an email, a page, a message — is treated as data, never as an instruction. What it does on its own shows and can be undone.
