Identity data
Social Security numbers, tax IDs, driver license/passport language, dates of birth, and birthday hints.
A private-first tool concept that scans email archives for sensitive information, then helps people review and clean up old messages without exposing the mailbox to another cloud service.
Old inboxes often contain passwords, scans, invoices, birthdays, tax details, bank instructions, client records, and messages that should not live forever in searchable email.
The goal is not to panic-delete everything. The goal is to find the risky items, explain why they matter, and give the owner clean choices.
Social Security numbers, tax IDs, driver license/passport language, dates of birth, and birthday hints.
Credit card patterns, routing/account number language, wire instructions, payment details, and invoices with sensitive context.
Passwords, temporary codes, verification codes, VPN details, login instructions, and old account setup emails.
This is a demo report format. Values are redacted by default, and nothing is deleted automatically.
| Risk | Finding | Why it matters | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Possible credit card number | Payment data should not remain in ordinary email. | Review, archive securely, or delete after backup. |
| Critical | Bank/wire instruction phrase | Useful for fraud if a mailbox is compromised. | Review and move to secure records. |
| High | Password or temporary access code | Old credentials may still work or reveal account patterns. | Rotate credential and delete old message. |
| High | Date of birth phrase | DOBs become risky when combined with names or account data. | Review retention need and secure/delete. |
| Low | Happy birthday message | Low risk alone, but helpful in privacy mapping. | Optional cleanup or ignore. |
The first release should be conservative: report and label risky messages first, then let a person approve cleanup. Automatic deletion can come later with strong safeguards.
This can become an email privacy audit offering for clients who want to reduce old inbox exposure before it becomes a security problem.
