AI Mailbox Privacy Notice
Last updated July 28, 2026
This notice explains the mailbox data Freightbox accesses, why it is used, where it is processed, and how you can disconnect or delete it. It supplements the Freightbox website privacy policy.
Data we access
When you connect Gmail or Outlook, Freightbox accesses the connected account identifier and email address, mailbox messages, thread metadata, participants, attachments, labels or categories, and synchronization activity needed to operate the features you enable. When you connect Google Calendar, Freightbox accesses calendar metadata, availability, and events needed to display and manage your calendar.
Freightbox derives and stores classifications, summaries, reply-needed decisions, generated drafts, provider-action records, and security and reliability metrics. Aggregated or anonymized operational statistics are used only to operate, secure, and improve user-facing Freightbox features. They are not used for advertising, credit decisions, data brokerage, or training general-purpose AI models.
How we use mailbox data
- Sync and organize email in Freightbox.
- Classify logistics workflows and apply Gmail labels or Outlook categories.
- Create reply drafts when a message appears to need a response.
- Provide search, history, audit activity, and customer-requested support.
- Protect the service, investigate failures, and prevent duplicate provider actions.
- Run the automation rules and WhatsApp prompts your organization configures, as described below.
AI Mailbox is draft-only. Freightbox does not automatically send these replies.
Google and Microsoft access
Gmail uses Google's gmail.modify permission, which Google documents as allowing apps to read, compose, and send email. AI Mailbox uses it only to read and synchronize mail, manage labels, and create drafts; it does not call Gmail send endpoints or automatically send messages. Google Calendar uses calendar.readonly to load calendar identifiers and availability, and calendar.events to create, update, and delete events when you use those features. Outlook uses delegated Mail.ReadWrite for mailbox-scoped functions and does not request Mail.Send or Microsoft calendar access. Freightbox's use and transfer of Google user data follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
WhatsApp remote control (optional)
Team members can choose to pair their own phone so that Freightbox messages them on WhatsApp when a reply draft needs their review or when an automation rule they configured forwards an email to them. Pairing is opt-in: it starts from the member's own WhatsApp message to Freightbox, an organization admin must have enabled the feature, and it can be ended at any time from Settings or by replying STOP. Freightbox only messages phones that have completed pairing; anyone else who writes to the Freightbox number receives one message explaining how to pair, and only a hashed form of their number is kept to avoid repeating it.
A WhatsApp prompt can include the contact's name, the email subject, and a short excerpt of the email or of the generated draft (about 300 characters). Organizations can choose a minimal mode in which prompts carry only a reference tag and no mailbox content leaves Freightbox. The member's answers — a tap on a button, typed text, or a voice note — are used solely to approve, reject, or write the reply they were asked about; a reply is sent from the connected mailbox only after the member explicitly confirms it. Voice notes are transcribed with OpenAI's Whisper service and the audio is not stored; typed text and transcripts are kept for 30 days and then deleted. The paired phone number is stored only for pairing and is shown masked in the product; audit records reference identifiers, not message content.
Service providers
Freightbox uses Google for mailbox and calendar connectivity and Microsoft for mailbox connectivity; Supabase for authentication, database, and file storage; Railway for application hosting; Anthropic and OpenAI APIs for AI processing; Twilio and Meta (WhatsApp) to deliver the optional WhatsApp remote-control messages described above; and Sentry for error monitoring. Relevant message content is transferred to Anthropic or OpenAI only when needed to produce a user-facing classification, summary, draft, or voice-note transcript, and to Twilio and Meta only for prompts a paired team member has opted into. Freightbox does not opt customer mailbox data into provider model-training programs. These providers process data only to operate, secure, and support Freightbox under their service terms. We do not sell Google user data or transfer it to advertising platforms, data brokers, or lenders.
Security and access
Connections use OAuth. Provider credentials are encrypted server-side and are not shown in the product. Access is organization- and mailbox-scoped, sensitive operations are audited, and data is encrypted in transit. Learn more on our security page.
Retention, disconnect, and deletion
Disconnecting a mailbox stops new synchronization, removes Freightbox's stored OAuth credentials, and attempts to stop the provider watch or subscription. Existing synced history remains available until the organization is deleted. Organization admins can export this app's organization data and schedule its deletion from Profile settings. Provider access is removed immediately; active organization data is permanently purged after the 30-day grace period. This does not delete a shared Freightbox sign-in or data in other Freightbox products; contact us for an account-wide request. Limited backup copies may remain for the infrastructure provider's recovery window and are not available in the active product.
Your choices
You can disable AI Mailbox, disconnect a provider, export organization data, or request deletion. See the data deletion guide, or contact hello@getfreightbox.com for access, correction, portability, or deletion requests.
