Privacy at mailriva

Privacy-friendly by design

mailriva runs locally on your computer. Passwords and credentials do not need to be entered into a website. This way you avoid unnecessary data sharing with third-party servers and stay in control of the process.

Local processing, not web upload

Especially in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), many users value not having to enter sensitive credentials into just any online tool. Local processing reduces unnecessary data sharing and aligns with a privacy-first architecture. This is consistent with core principles like purpose limitation, data minimization, and the special sensitivity of cross-border data transfers.

What mailriva does NOT do

• Transfer your passwords to a server
• Temporarily store your emails on a third-party server
• Modify, delete, or move emails in your source mailbox
• Use tracking cookies or analyze your email contents

What mailriva DOES do

• Local processing on your computer
• Direct IMAP connection to your email provider
• Copy emails without modifying the source mailbox
• Store data locally — no cloud intermediary

Note

Actual GDPR compliance always depends on the complete technical and organizational implementation. However, the local architecture supports privacy-friendly processing with fewer unnecessary transmissions.
