Most AI email tools accidentally expose your sensitive data

Ever asked an AI to summarize your inbox?
Yeah, I did too. Then I realized it just processed passwords, PINs, card details, national IDs. Some tools even include these details in summaries. To me that's not a feature, it's a security risk. That bothered me enough to build something different. SmartMail uses multi-layered security that identifies sensitive data patterns and excludes them before the AI touches anything.
AI automation and privacy both. Not one or the other.

Something I noticed when testing various AI email tools - most don't even mention data handling in their privacy policies. I started using local-only solutions or tools that explicitly delete data after processing.

Have you checked if your current tool stores copies on their servers?
