Privacy

This page covers the getsimply.app website, its signup form, the paste tool at getsimply.app/try, and the Simply desktop app. Last updated November 11, 2026.

The short version

  • Your email stays on your computer. The Simply server never stores message text, subjects, addresses or drafts.
  • To read an email for you, Simply sends the new part of that one email to an AI model and keeps only the result, on your computer.
  • Simply never sells your data, never shows ads, and never uses your email to train AI models.

The Simply app and your mailbox

When you connect a Gmail or Google Workspace mailbox, Simply asks Google for these permissions:

  • Your email address (openid and userinfo.email). To show which mailbox is connected.
  • Read, compose, send and organise your email (gmail.modify). To show your inbox, archive and mark messages as you ask, and send the replies you write. Simply cannot permanently delete your email.

The app downloads your mail to your computer and stores it in an encrypted database there. The key that lets Simply reach your mailbox is kept in your operating system's keychain. Neither ever reaches the Simply server.

Snooze and delivery times are kept on your computer only. Your mailbox does not change when you snooze.

How Simply reads your email

Simply's Decode and Tone Check features use an AI model from Anthropic. Here is exactly what is sent:

  • Decode sends the new part of an email from a person, without the quoted history below it. Newsletters, receipts, notifications and other automated mail are never sent.
  • Tone Check sends the draft you ask it to check, plus Decode's short reading of the email you are replying to. It does not send the original email again.

The text goes from your computer through the Simply server to Anthropic and back in one request. The server does not save it, log it or queue it. Anthropic processes it under its commercial terms, which do not allow it to train models on it. Simply has asked Anthropic for zero data retention. This page will say so once it is in place.

Each email is read once. The result is stored on your computer, not on the server.

Google user data

Simply's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. In particular:

  • Simply uses Google user data only to provide the features you see in the app.
  • The only transfer of it is the text sent to Anthropic for Decode and Tone Check, as described above.
  • Simply does not use it for advertising, does not sell it, and does not use it to train or improve AI or machine learning models.
  • No person reads your email, unless you ask for help with a specific message and agree to it, or the law requires it.

You can disconnect a mailbox in the app at any time. Disconnecting deletes that mailbox's mail and readings from your computer and removes its key from your keychain. You can also remove Simply's access at myaccount.google.com/connections.

The paste tool

The paste tool at getsimply.app/try sends the text you paste to Anthropic in the same way, and shows you the result. The text and the result are not stored.

What the Simply server keeps

  • Your Simply account. Your name and email address, so you can sign in.
  • Usage counts. For each AI request: which feature, which model, the number of words processed and the cost. No text. This keeps the price fair and watches the cost.
  • Feedback. When you mark a reading as right or wrong, the server keeps that verdict and which version of the feature produced it. It does not keep who sent it or any text.

What the signup form collects

  • Email address and first name. To send you the confirmation link and to write to you.
  • Email services. Which ones you would connect, to know how many people use Gmail and how many use Microsoft 365. That sets which one is built first.
  • Number of email accounts. To know how many people would use more than one mailbox in Simply.
  • What you do (optional). To invite testers from a mix of jobs.
  • Design partner or waitlist, and how you want to give feedback. To know what to send you and how to work with you.
  • Neurotype (optional). Only to invite a mix of testers.
  • Which headline you saw. The page shows one of two headlines. The form records which one, to learn which is clearer.

The neurotype answer

The neurotype answer is encrypted. It is stored separately from your email address, in its own table. It is never used in email to you and never shared. It is deleted when your entry is deleted. You can leave it as "Prefer not to say".

Confirmation

After you send the form you get one email with a link. Your entry counts only after you open that link and select Confirm. The link works for 7 days. Entries that are not confirmed are deleted after 30 days.

How to remove yourself

Every email from Simply has a removal link. The link opens a page with one button. Selecting it deletes your entry and your neurotype answer. The link does not expire.

To delete your Simply account and its usage counts, reply to any email from Simply and ask. It is done within 30 days.

What this site does not do

  • No tracking and no analytics.
  • No advertising cookies. The only cookies keep you signed in, keep the form secure and remember which headline you saw during your visit.
  • No third-party fonts or scripts. The fonts are served from this site.
  • No selling or sharing of the list.

Bot check

The form checks for automated submissions on this server. If a submission looks automated, the page may load a Cloudflare Turnstile check. In that case Cloudflare receives your IP address and browser details. Turnstile is not loaded otherwise.

Where it is stored

The site runs on Laravel Cloud, on Amazon Web Services servers. The database is encrypted on disk with AES-256, and every connection to it is encrypted.

This site does not store your IP address or browser details. Like any website host, Laravel Cloud and its network provider, Cloudflare, see your IP address when you load a page.

Email is sent through Resend. To deliver an email, Resend receives your email address, your first name and the text of that email.

The database keeps 7 days of history so it can be restored after a failure. When you remove your entry, it is gone from that history within 7 days.

Changes

If this page changes how your data is used, Simply will email you before the change applies.

Who holds the data

CaskStack, LLC runs getsimply.app and the Simply app. Questions about your data can be sent to hello@getsimply.app or by replying to any email from Simply.
