Who sees your emails?
📬
Gmail API (Google)
Your emails are fetched directly from Gmail using your own Google account. Google already holds your emails — MailChief simply reads them back on your behalf using OAuth, the same secure login standard used by apps like Zoom and Slack.
🤖
Gemini 2.5 Pro (Google)
Your email content — sender, subject, and a preview of the body — is sent to Google's Gemini AI to generate your spoken summary. This is the only AI that reads your emails. It is made by Google, the same company that runs Gmail.
🔊
Gemini TTS (Google)
The finished text summary is converted to audio. Only the summary is sent here — not your original emails.
🗄
What MailChief stores
We store your audio brief and its text transcript in a private database so you can replay it. Your raw emails are never saved — they pass through memory only and are discarded immediately after your brief is generated.
In short: everything stays within Google's infrastructure. No third-party AI or external service outside of Google ever sees your email content.
