We think you should be able to understand what a security service can and cannot see, without a law degree or a long call. So here is the plain version of how Digital Gnome treats your data. The short form is this: we look at how your systems are set up, not at what is inside them, and we can be removed the moment you want us gone.

Read-only means exactly that. When you connect an account to us, we ask for permission to look, not to change and not to act on your behalf. We check settings - whether a second factor is switched on, whether old accounts are still active, whether sharing is wider than it should be. We do not send email as you, we do not move files, and we do not need to.

Configuration, not content, is the line we will not cross. We can tell that a mailbox has weak protection without ever opening an email. We can see that a drive is shared publicly without reading a single document in it. Your messages, your client files, your photos and your accounts stay yours and unread. If a task ever seemed to need more than that, our answer would be to explain why we are not going to do it.

And you can revoke us in one click. The access you grant lives in your own account settings, with your provider, not locked away with us. You can go there at any time and remove Digital Gnome without asking our permission or waiting for a reply. We would rather earn the connection every month than trap you into keeping it. That is not a slogan; it is the whole point of building it this way.
