Privacy Policy

Siftbird helps you keep your Gmail inbox clean by deciding, for each new email, whether it should stay unread, be marked read, or be archived. This policy explains exactly what we access and store.

What we access

With your permission, Siftbird uses a single Google permission (gmail.modify) to read message metadata and change read/archive labels. We do not have permission to delete email, send email, or download your data.

What we store

We deliberately store as little as possible:

• Your account identity (name, email, profile image).
• An encrypted Google token so we can act on your inbox on your behalf.
• Your billing status (via Stripe — we never see your card number).
• Your preferences and any sender rules you create.
• An activity log containing only the action taken, a derived category, the sender’s domain, and the opaque Gmail message ID (so you can undo it).

What we do NOT store

We never store the content of your emails — no bodies, no subjects, no attachments, no full sender addresses. We read what we need to make a decision, then discard it. Email content is never used to train any model.

Third parties

To classify mail we send minimal metadata (sender, subject, a short snippet) to our model provider (OpenRouter) for the moment of the decision only; it is not retained by us. Payments are processed by Stripe. Hosting is on Vercel.

Your control

You can turn automation off, disconnect Gmail, or delete your account at any time, which removes your stored data. Disconnecting also revokes our access via your Google account settings.
