Thank you for using Talanoa (“the App”). Your privacy is at the core of our product philosophy.
Talanoa is built as a local-first email client, which means your emails and access tokens stay on your device, not on our servers.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we store it, and the choices you have.
Talanoa is operated by E2MA LABS (“we”, “us”, “our”).
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at:

For privacy requests (access, deletion, etc.):

We only collect the information necessary to operate your Talanoa account and premium subscription. We do not collect or store the content of your emails, nor do we access your OAuth tokens.
When you connect a Google or Outlook account, Talanoa requests OAuth permission to function as an email client.
What we retrieve:
What we store on our servers: Nothing.
Your OAuth access tokens are encrypted and stored only on your desktop.
We never receive or store your tokens, emails, or email metadata.
We use a small Supabase database to maintain your Talanoa account and subscription status.
We store only the following information:

We literally cannot access your emails or tokens.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.
We may share minimal account data only in these situations:
Service Providers: For example, Stripe (billing), Supabase (account storage). These providers are bound by strict confidentiality and security obligations.
Legal Requirements: If required by law or to respond to valid legal requests.
Business Transfers: If Talanoa is involved in a merger or acquisition, we may transfer only the minimal account data described above.
We do not transfer or sell any email-related data because we do not collect it.
We retain your Supabase account data (name, email, OS, Stripe ID) as long as your Talanoa account is active or as required by law.
Local data on your device remains entirely under your control.
We use technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal data. However, no system can guarantee 100% security.
You may request to access, modify, or delete your Supabase account data at any time by contacting:
To revoke Talanoa’s access to your Google or Outlook account: You can remove permissions directly from your Google or Microsoft account settings.
Deleting the app from your device also deletes all locally stored emails and tokens.
Talanoa may contain links to external websites.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties.
Talanoa is not intended for children under 13 (or the age required by local law).
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Policy from time to time.
If the changes are material, we will notify you by email or through the App.
Your continued use of Talanoa constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
