Understanding SaneBox Permissions
SaneBox requires certain permissions to function effectively. We understand this can be a concern, so let’s break down what each permission is used for:
Why We Need Permissions:
Limited Access is Ideal: We only ask for the minimum information necessary. Unfortunately, some email providers require broader permissions than we can control.
Permissions Explained:
Contacts:
SaneBox uses your contacts to identify important senders and prioritize your inbox accordingly.
Email Address & Basic Profile:
We need your email address and some basic information to handle features like sending and receiving emails or determining your time zone for actions.
Email Management:
This allows SaneBox to move emails between folders based on your preferences (e.g., Inbox to SaneLater).
Email Read/Delete:
We need to access email headers to understand content and perform actions like SaneAttachments (adding cloud storage links or removing attachments).
Send Email:
This allows SaneBox to forward emails, send Do Not Disturb notifications, and handle scheduled resends.
Offline Access:
SaneBox works 24/7, even when you’re offline, ensuring your inbox stays organized.
Cloud Storage (Optional):
This permission is only used if you enable SaneAttachments to upload attachments to services like Dropbox or Google Drive. SaneBox only accesses a designated folder and doesn’t explore other parts of your cloud storage.
Your privacy is paramount. SaneBox will never read your emails or misuse your data. You can find more information about our privacy practices here: SaneBox Privacy Policy.
