Last updated: March 14, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Inboxyl collects, uses, and protects your personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (General Data Protection Regulation, "GDPR") and applicable German data protection law (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, "BDSG").

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data within the meaning of Art. 4(7) GDPR is:

Inboxyl

Email: info@inboxyl.com

For all questions regarding the processing of your personal data, please contact us at the address above.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and billing information. Payment card details are processed directly by our payment provider and are not stored on our servers.

Email Archive Files

To provide the Service, you upload email archive files (such as PST or OST files). These files may contain email messages, attachments, contact data, and communication metadata relating to you and third parties. You are responsible for ensuring you have a valid legal basis under GDPR for uploading any personal data of third parties.

Usage and Technical Data

We automatically collect technical information when you use the Service, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and actions taken within the application. This data is used to operate and improve the Service.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

See Section 9 (Cookie Policy) for details.

3. Legal Basis for Data Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases under Art. 6 GDPR:

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — Performance of a contract: Processing your account data, email archives, and billing information is necessary to provide the Service you have contracted for.
  • Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR — Legal obligation: We may process your data where required to comply with applicable legal obligations, including tax and accounting law.
  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — Legitimate interests: We process technical usage data to operate, secure, and improve the Service. Our legitimate interest is to ensure the functionality and security of the platform. You may object to this processing — see Section 10.
  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — Consent: Where we use non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies, we will obtain your prior consent. You may withdraw consent at any time.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
  • Process and index your email archive files so they are searchable and accessible to you
  • Process payments and manage your subscription
  • Send transactional communications (account confirmations, billing receipts, security alerts)
  • Respond to your support requests
  • Monitor and analyze usage to improve the Service
  • Comply with legal obligations including tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements

We do not use your email archive content for advertising, profiling, model training, or any purpose other than delivering the Service to you.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure cloud infrastructure. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256), strict access controls, and regular security assessments.

Access to your email archive data is limited to your account. Inboxyl staff do not access your archive content except when required to resolve a technical issue you have reported and only with your explicit consent, in accordance with Art. 29 GDPR.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the competent supervisory authority within 72 hours (Art. 33 GDPR) and, where required, notify you directly (Art. 34 GDPR).

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy and to comply with our legal obligations:

  • Account and archive data: Retained for the duration of your active account. Upon account deletion, your data is removed within 30 days, except where legal retention obligations apply.
  • Billing and invoicing records: Retained for 10 years in accordance with § 147 AO (German Fiscal Code) and § 257 HGB (German Commercial Code).
  • Usage and log data: Retained for up to 90 days for security and operational purposes, then deleted or anonymized.
  • Support communications: Retained for up to 3 years from the date of last contact.

Aggregated, anonymized data that cannot be linked to any individual may be retained indefinitely.

7. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers operate infrastructure outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where personal data is transferred to countries that do not provide an equivalent level of data protection, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place as required by Chapter V GDPR:

Supabase

Supabase provides our database and file storage infrastructure. Data may be stored on servers located in the United States or other regions. Transfers are safeguarded by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR). Supabase is SOC 2 Type II certified. You can select the data region for your project — EU regions (e.g., eu-central-1) are available and preferred where possible.

Stripe / Paddle

Payment processing is handled by Stripe or Paddle. Billing data (name, email, payment method metadata) is transmitted to these providers. Both operate under Standard Contractual Clauses and are certified under applicable data protection frameworks. Full payment card details are never stored on our servers.

A copy of the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request by contacting info@inboxyl.com.

8. Third-Party Services

We have entered into Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) under Art. 28 GDPR with all third-party providers who process personal data on our behalf. These providers are authorized to process your data only in accordance with our documented instructions and this Privacy Policy.

We do not sell personal data to third parties. We do not share your email archive content with any third party for any purpose other than storing and serving it back to you.

9. Cookie Policy

Strictly Necessary Cookies

We use session cookies that are strictly necessary to operate the Service, including authentication tokens and CSRF protection. These cookies do not require your consent under § 25(2) TTDSG (German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act) and Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive, as they are essential to provide the service you have requested.

Analytics and Non-Essential Cookies

We do not currently use third-party analytics cookies or advertising trackers. If we introduce such cookies in the future, we will request your prior consent via a cookie consent mechanism before setting them, in accordance with § 25(1) TTDSG.

Cookie Duration

Authentication session cookies expire when you log out or after a period of inactivity. Persistent cookies, where used, will not exceed 12 months in duration.

You can configure your browser to refuse or delete cookies at any time. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using the Service.

10. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which you may exercise free of charge by contacting us at info@inboxyl.com:

  • Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how it is processed.
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where processing is unlawful. This right is subject to legal retention obligations.
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You may request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances (e.g., while a rectification request is assessed).
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR): Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
  • Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): You may object at any time to the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
  • Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR): Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. In complex or numerous cases, we may extend this period by a further two months, informing you accordingly (Art. 12(3) GDPR).

11. Right to Lodge a Complaint

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Datenschutzbehörde) if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR (Art. 77 GDPR).

You may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.

The competent supervisory authority in Germany is the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Bundesbeauftragter für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit, BfDI):

Bundesbeauftragter für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit (BfDI)

Graurheindorfer Str. 153, 53117 Bonn, Germany

Website: bfdi.bund.de

You may also contact the supervisory authority of the German federal state in which you reside. A list of German state data protection authorities is available at bfdi.bund.de.

We encourage you to contact us first at info@inboxyl.com so that we can address your concern directly.
