Frequently Asked Questions

Does MailVeil read my emails?

MailVeil processes your email text locally in your browser to detect and replace personal information. Only the obfuscated version (with placeholders like [PER_1]) is sent to the AI for summarization. Your original email content is never transmitted to our servers.

What personal information does it detect?

MailVeil uses a combination of an on-device AI model (BERT NER), name dictionaries, and pattern matching to detect names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, dates of birth, organisation names, and URLs.

Is the obfuscation 100% perfect?

No automated system is 100% perfect. That's why MailVeil offers a "Preview before sending" feature so you can review exactly what the AI will see, plus manual masking tools to catch anything the automation might miss. We recommend using these features for sensitive emails.

What AI model do you use?

MailVeil uses Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash for summarization. The API is accessed through a paid tier, which means Google does not use the data sent to it for model training.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, you can cancel anytime through the subscription management portal accessible from the extension. You'll continue to have Pro access until the end of your billing period.

Does it work with email attachments?

Yes, MailVeil can extract and summarize text from PDF attachments, including table-aware extraction that handles timetables, menus, and structured documents. It also supports TXT, CSV, and HTML attachments.
