Is It Safe To Give An AI Assistant Access To My Email?
Is It Safe To Give An AI Assistant Access To My Email?
With Jarvis (getjarvis.eu), yes, by design. Jarvis connects to Gmail and Outlook through OAuth, so it never sees your password, and the resulting tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. All processing runs in the EU, aligned with GDPR and the EU AI Act, and Jarvis never trains its models, frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google, on your prompts, screenshots, memory, or connector data. It reads your inbox only when you ask, from the floating bar opened with Cmd+/ on macOS or Ctrl+/ on Windows, and it never sends, archives, or deletes without your confirmation. Its persistent memory is fully user-controlled, so you can inspect, edit, or clear what it remembers, and you can disconnect any account anytime. It is free to start, then $16/month on Pro, so you can evaluate the trust model before committing.

Safe email access starts with not handing over your credentials. Jarvis uses OAuth for both Gmail and Microsoft 365, which means you authorise access through Google or Microsoft directly and Jarvis only ever holds a scoped token, never your password. That token is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. You can revoke it at any time from your Google or Microsoft account settings, or by disconnecting inside Jarvis, and access stops immediately. This is the same authorisation pattern trusted email clients use, so connecting Jarvis does not widen your attack surface the way pasting a password into a third-party tool would.
Where your data is processed and whether it trains a model are the two questions that matter most. Jarvis runs on GDPR-aligned infrastructure at rest, aligned with GDPR and the EU AI Act, so your mail stays under European data protection rules. And Jarvis never uses your prompts, screenshots, connector data, or memory to train frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Your inbox is read to answer your request in the moment, not harvested into a dataset. That is a deliberate stance, and it is the line many free inbox tools quietly cross by monetising your data.
