Privacy & data handling

What we collect, where it goes, and how long it stays. This page covers the hosted e2a service operated by Mnexa, Inc. — the dashboard at e2a.dev, the API at api.e2a.dev, the MCP server at api.e2a.dev/mcp, and the mail path (agents.e2a.dev, mx.e2a.dev, send.e2a.dev).

Last updated 2026-09-27.

The short version

What we store

Everything below lives in one managed PostgreSQL database. e2a does not use a separate object store — attachment bytes are stored inline with the message row.

Your account

Your agents and domains

Messages

Operational records

Public website analytics

We run a self-hosted Umami instance at umami.tokencanopy.com to understand aggregate traffic to known public marketing pages on e2a.dev, including the pricing page. It is cookieless, does not run advertising or session replay, and does not track visitors across websites. The signed-in dashboard, OAuth consent page, privacy page, and unknown routes are excluded.

For a public page view, Umami receives the page path and title without URL query strings or fragments, a reduced referrer, browser language and screen size, browser/operating-system/device categories, and approximate location (country or region derived from the request IP). Umami uses the IP address and user agent to create an anonymous session identifier; it does not store the raw IP address or set a browser cookie. We use these records only to measure page traffic and improve public content. They live in a separate Google Cloud PostgreSQL database in the United States and are not joined to e2a accounts, agents, or messages.

Where it lives

The application and its database run on Google Cloud infrastructure in the United States (us-central1): a Compute Engine VM and a managed Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL 16 instance. The application connects to the database over TLS. Traffic to our domains passes through Cloudflare, which terminates TLS at the edge and sees standard connection metadata.

Mail in transit

Email is a federated protocol, so some of your content necessarily leaves our systems — that is what sending mail means.

Inbound screening

Mail arriving for your agents is screened before it is delivered, so that a hostile message cannot quietly become instructions your agent follows. Flagged or blocked mail is quarantined — stored, but not served to your agents. We record the disposition of each flagged message and the reason for it.

Today that screening is entirely deterministic — pattern and heuristic checks that run inside our own systems. No message content leaves for model inference, because the model-based detector that exists in the open-source code is not enabled on the hosted service.

When we enable model-based screening, it will use Google Gemini. At that point the content of inbound messages will be sent to Google's Gemini API for the screening check itself — not for any other purpose. The bodies of outbound mail are never sent to a model provider; the separate abuse-detection check may see outbound subject lines and agent names only. We will use the paid Gemini API tier, under which Google's API terms state that Google does not use prompts or responses to improve its products and does not subject them to human review for that purpose; Google's handling is otherwise governed by the Google Privacy Policy. We will add Gemini to the sub-processor list and revise the date on this page before the change takes effect.

Abuse detection

A hosted mail service attracts people who want to send phishing and scams from someone else's infrastructure, so we look for accounts that misuse it. This section says what data that uses.

What we examine: signals about the account and its sending, not the mail itself — account and payment details as reported by Stripe (outcomes and a one-way card fingerprint, never the card number), sending volumes and timing, recipient domains, the names and addresses of your agents, the subject lines of the messages they send, delivery, bounce, complaint, and inbound-screening outcomes, and coarse connection metadata stored as one-way digests. Never examined for this purpose: message bodies, attachments, or recipient addresses.

How decisions are made. Automated scoring we operate ourselves can hold a message for review or pause sending on its own, because waiting for a person to look would let a phishing run finish. Suspending or closing an account for abuse is decided by a person, and any automated hold or pause is reviewed by a person if you contest it: email us and we will tell you what was found, within the limit of not tipping off an active abuser.

Today none of these signals leave our systems. We may later send two kinds of signal to a model provider for the detection check itself: outbound subject lines and agent names to Google's Gemini API, on the same paid tier and no-training terms described under Inbound screening; and numeric signals only — no text of any kind — to typesafe.ai's Jev model. We will add each provider to the sub-processor list and revise the date on this page before it takes effect.

What we keep and share. Signals are kept for 90 days, scores for one year, and a confirmed determination of abuse — never message content — for two years, alongside the deletion records under How long we keep it. When an account is used for phishing or fraud we may share the abusive messages and the sending account's details with the parties targeted, with hosting, domain, and payment providers, and with law enforcement.

Connecting an AI client

e2a exists to be driven by agents, so it is worth being precise about which direction content flows.

e2a does not send your mail to an AI model. You do. When you connect an AI client — Claude through our MCP server, or your own agent through the API or an SDK — that client reads the messages it asks for. What happens to the content after that is governed by the terms and privacy policy of the client you connected, not by this page.

Sub-processors

These are the third parties that process data on our behalf:

ProviderLocationWhat it processes
Google CloudUS Application hosting, database, and log storage — all stored data.
Amazon Web Services (SES / SNS)US Outbound mail relay and delivery-feedback events.
CloudflareUS DNS, CDN, and edge TLS — connection metadata.
StripeUS Payments for paid plans. Checkout is hosted by Stripe; we never receive or store card numbers. We store only your Stripe customer and subscription identifiers.
WorkOSUS Sign-in, if you use a Token Canopy account. See tokencanopy.com/privacy.
GitHubUS Only if you submit in-product feedback — see below.
Google Gemini (not currently enabled)US Inbound message content for model-based screening, and outbound subject lines and agent names for abuse detection — each only if and when we enable it. See Inbound screening and Abuse detection.
typesafe.ai (Jev) (not currently enabled)US Numeric account and sending signals only — no text and no message content — for abuse scoring, if and when we enable it. See Abuse detection.

In-product feedback is public

If you use the in-product feedback form, your submission is filed as an issue in our public GitHub repository and emailed to our support inbox. Do not put anything confidential in it.

How long we keep it

Getting your data out — and deleting it

Both are self-serve, and both are complete:

Deleting your e2a account does not by itself delete a Token Canopy account you used to sign in with; that layer is covered by tokencanopy.com/privacy. If you would rather we ran a deletion for you, email us.

What we do not do

EU & UK users — your rights under the GDPR

Mnexa, Inc. is the data controller for your e2a account. Where your agents exchange mail with other people, you are the controller of that correspondence and we process it on your behalf. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the GDPR / UK GDPR gives you the rights below; we honour them for all users regardless of location.

Legal bases for processing

Your rights

You may exercise the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Access is available immediately through the export endpoint above, and erasure through the deletion endpoint — immediately with permanent=true, otherwise when the 30-day trash window ends. Deleting your account yourself without permanent=true is a restorable trash you chose; an erasure request you email us is carried out as an immediate erasure, without the trash window. The deletion records described above are kept on the basis of our legitimate interest in preventing fraud and abuse. For anything else, email us. We respond within 30 days. Automated abuse scoring can hold a message or pause sending on its own; suspending or closing an account for abuse is decided by a person, and you can contest any automated action by emailing us, after which a person reviews it. We make no other decisions about you by automated means.

International transfers

Our infrastructure and sub-processors are in the United States, so your data is transferred to and stored in the US. Where that involves EEA/UK personal data, the transfer relies on the EU-U.S. / UK Data Privacy Framework certifications of our sub-processors and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

Children

e2a is a developer tool and is not directed at children. You must be 13 or older to hold an account.

Changes to this page

We will update this page when the data flow changes, and revise the date at the top. For a change that materially expands what we collect or who receives it, we will give notice before it takes effect.
