Privacy
Privacy, in as few words as we can
No ads, nothing sold, no trackers on this site, and no hidden mode anywhere. Here is what we keep, and what goes.
The waitlist
When you join the waitlist we keep four things: your email address, the role you picked, which price you saw and clicked, and where you came from.
We use them for one job: emailing you when Mail Buddy opens. You can ask to be removed by replying to that email. We do not sell or share the list, and we do not email you about anything else.
The free scam check
The photo is read once, to answer you, and then it is thrown away. Nothing of the letter itself is saved. The only thing we keep is a count of how many checks have been done, so we can see if the free check is getting popular.
The promises the app makes
- The last 4 digits only. For account, card and Social Security numbers we keep only the last 4 digits. The whole number is never saved.
- Photos are encrypted. Every page photo is encrypted before it is stored, and deleted after 30 days on the free plan. The short summary stays; the picture goes.
- No ads, no selling. You are not the product, and your household's mail is not an asset. Nobody buys your data here.
- Mom's consent. Each person who can see her mail needs her yes, on her own phone, and she can take it back any time.
- No hidden mode. A family member she has not approved sees nothing. The app never calls a letter safe; when it is not sure, it says so.
If something here does not match what Mail Buddy does, that is a real bug. Reply to any Mail Buddy email and tell us. Health letters have their own page: the health data policy.
