Security by design
At Talanoa, your security and privacy aren’t just features — they’re foundations.
We’ve built Talanoa from the ground up with a simple philosophy: you own your data.
From architecture to certifications, every decision we make keeps your information safe, private, and under your control.
1. Privacy is Our Priority
We don’t just care about email — we care about your email.
- Your data stays local: Everything is stored locally on your desktop.
- No servers, no syncing: We don’t collect, host, or process your data on the cloud.
- No tracking: Zero analytics. Zero ad tech. Zero profiling.
2. Certified for Trust
We take trust seriously — and we’ve earned it.
- ✅ Google Certified: Talanoa is verified and approved for use with Gmail APIs.
- ✅ CASA Tier 2 Compliant: We’re officially certified under Google’s Cloud Application Security Assessment program, meeting the highest standards for third-party apps.
3. Local-Only by Default
Unlike typical email clients, Talanoa doesn’t rely on external servers.
- All emails, contacts, and metadata are stored and processed only on your machine.
- You can use Talanoa confidently — even offline.
4. Security First, Always
- Secure OAuth 2.0 authentication via Google.
- Minimal permissions — we request only the scopes strictly needed to power your inbox.
- Local encryption options and privacy-conscious defaults.
