        <h1>Privacy Policy</h1>
        <p>
          Having a privacy policy has become a standard requirement because too
          often, our data is collected, manipulated, and sold without our
          consent or knowledge. And usually, our only choice is to not use the
          tool we need. We believe that can change.
        </p>

        <h2>No Tracking. No Data Collection. No Analytics. No AI.</h2>
        <p>
          Our even shorter version is <em>we can't, don't, won't</em>, but that
          common sense default is not considered a valid legal policy today. So
          here's the full story.
        </p>

        <p>
          OpenEmail apps do not collect, process, or share any personal
          information, except for the data users explicitly choose to include in
          their public profile.
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li>No tracking, no analytics, no behavioral data collection.</li>
          <li>
            No permanent message storage, messages are end-to-end encrypted and
            only accessible to intended recipients for a limited time.
          </li>
          <li>No AI-based content filtering, scanning, or monetization.</li>
        </ul>

        <h2>We Don't Use Cookies</h2>
        <p>
          OpenEmail native apps do not use cookies. If you use the web
          application, we may use essential cookies strictly for login sessions.
          No tracking or analytics cookies are ever used.
        </p>

        <h2>Public Profiles Are Optional</h2>
        <p>
          Users may choose to create a public profile, which is uploaded to
          their mail agent for others to access.
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li>Users decide exactly what to include.</li>
          <li>No one is forced to create a profile—privacy is the default.</li>
          <li>OpenEmail developers do not store any profile data.</li>
        </ul>

        <h2>No Third-Party Services or Ads</h2>
        <p>OpenEmail apps do not and will never integrate with:</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Third-party analytics or tracking services</li>
          <li>Advertising networks</li>
          <li>Data-sharing services</li>
        </ul>

        <h2>No Centralized Servers. No Backdoors.</h2>
        <ul>
          <li>
            OpenEmail runs on a decentralized, open protocol. There are no
            central servers storing all user data.
          </li>
          <li>
            All messages are end-to-end encrypted, even we cannot access them.
            That includes the metadata, such as the information on the parties
            with which you are communicating with.
          </li>
          <li>
            There are no backdoors, hidden data collection, or silent
            dependencies. We cannot intercept message content even if forced to.
          </li>
        </ul>

        <h2>You Are in Full Control</h2>
        <ul>
          <li>You can delete your profile or messages at any time.</li>
          <li>
            No external accounts required, you control your identity and data.
          </li>
          <li>You decide who to communicate with, and what to share.</li>
        </ul>

        <h2>Changes to This Policy</h2>
        <p>If this policy changes, we'll let you know via app updates or release notes. Our commitment to privacy will never change.</p>
