Koverta Privacy Policy
Koverta is a mail client. This policy explains what happens to your data when you use it.
The short version
Koverta does not collect your data. We have no servers that your mail, passwords or settings pass through, and we have no account system. The app connects only to the servers you configure.
What the app connects to
- Your mail servers (IMAP, SMTP, Exchange) to receive and send mail.
- Your calendar and contacts servers (CalDAV, CardDAV), if you add them.
- Your mail provider's sign-in service, if you sign in with your provider's account (OAuth). The sign-in token is stored on your device.
- Remote images in messages, only if you choose to load them. When images load, the sender's server can see that the message was opened and your IP address. Images are not loaded by default.
The app does not connect to any other address. It contains no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting.
What is stored on your device
- Passwords and sign-in tokens in the macOS Keychain.
- Settings, tags and drafts in the app's folder on your Mac.
- Local mail archive, if you turn it on: copies of your messages so that search works offline. The archive is stored in the app's folder and is readable only by your macOS user, but it is not encrypted by the app. We recommend turning on FileVault.
- Message reminders are saved as events in the calendar you choose: on your calendar server or only on this Mac.
This data never leaves your device except when the app sends it to your own servers as part of normal mail work.
What we receive
Nothing. We do not receive your messages, addresses, passwords, contacts or usage data.
If you write to us by email, we receive your message and address and use them only to reply.
Apple
If you install Koverta from the App Store, Apple may collect data under its own privacy policy. We do not receive that data, except for aggregated statistics that Apple shows to all developers.
Deleting your data
Remove the account in Koverta settings and delete the app. To remove everything, also delete the app's folder in ~/Library/Application Support/ and the Koverta entries in Keychain Access. Your mail stays on your mail server.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will publish the new version on this page with a new date. If the app ever needs to send any data to us (for example, an optional instant notifications feature), it will be off by default and explained before you turn it on.
