Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 15, 2026
DevMail (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly when you create an account, add a domain, create mailboxes, send emails, or contact us for support.
Account data: name, email address, password (hashed), billing information, and company name.
Usage data: log data including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, features used, timestamps, and crash reports.
Email data: metadata and content of emails sent through or received by DevMail (subject lines, sender/recipient addresses, timestamps). We process email content only to deliver the service and do not use it for advertising.
Domain and DNS data: domain names you add, DNS records we generate, and verification status.
Payment data: billing address and card details. Card numbers are processed directly by our payment processor (Stripe) and never stored on our servers.
2. How we use your information
We use collected information to:
- Provide, operate, and improve the DevMail platform. - Process transactions and send transactional emails (receipts, invoices, alerts). - Respond to your support requests. - Monitor for abuse, fraud, and violations of our Terms of Service. - Send product updates, security alerts, and service announcements (you may opt out of non-essential communications). - Comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your email content for advertising purposes.
3. Data sharing
We share data only in the following circumstances:
Service providers: We share data with vendors who help us operate the service (e.g., AWS for cloud infrastructure, Stripe for payments, Clerk for authentication). These vendors are contractually obligated to protect your data.
Legal compliance: We may disclose data when required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of DevMail, our users, and the public.
Business transfers: If DevMail is acquired or merges with another company, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data is subject to a different Privacy Policy.
We do not share your email content with advertisers or analytics companies.
4. Cookies and tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep you logged in (essential session cookies). - Remember your preferences. - Understand how users navigate the product (analytics).
You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling cookies may affect some product features. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
5. Data retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you delete your account:
- Account data is deleted within 30 days. - Email data is deleted within 60 days (some may persist in backups for up to 90 days). - Billing records are retained for 7 years as required by financial regulations.
You can request earlier deletion of specific data by contacting privacy@devmail.app.
6. Security
We protect your data with:
- TLS/HTTPS encryption for all data in transit. - AES-256 encryption for data at rest. - Access controls limiting staff access to user data on a need-to-know basis. - Regular security audits and penetration testing. - Automatic backups with point-in-time recovery.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to security@devmail.app.
