What we do with an email you send us

When you forward or paste an email, we read it to check it: the sender, the links, the attachments' names and the text. We look up public information about the sender's domain (its email security records and when it was registered).

To help write the verdict, the email's text and our findings are sent to our AI provider, Anthropic. Anthropic processes it only to answer us and doesn't use it to train its models.

What we keep

• The sender's name and address, the subject, and who on your team sent it to us.
• The verdict, the reasons and the findings, so you can see your history.
• A short snippet (the first few lines) so you can recognise the email.

We don't keep the full email or its attachments. On team plans, the account owner can see every check made by their team.

Your account

We keep your email address and a securely scrambled password so you can sign in. Ask us at any time to delete your account and your check history.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or object to how we use it. Email kevin@amethystapps.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
