Why we chose forwarding over full inbox access

Many accounting tools ask for "Full Read/Write Access" to your entire Gmail or Outlook account. While this makes their development easier, it puts your privacy at risk.

At TallyScan, we believe in the principle of least privilege. You should only share what is necessary.

You are in control

By using a dedicated forwarding address, you remain the gatekeeper. Only the emails you choose to forward (either manually or through your own filters) are processed by our AI. We never see your personal conversations, your calendar, or your contacts.

Security by design

This approach isn't just about privacy; it's about security. If a tool has full access to your inbox, it's a massive point of failure. By sticking to email forwarding, we ensure that your most sensitive data stays exactly where it belongs: with you.
