Security & privacy
Your email is personal. Here's exactly how we handle it.
Where your data is stored, who processes it, what is encrypted, and how you get it back out or delete it. Only what the product does today.
- Stored in the EU
- AES-256-GCM credentials
- Export on every plan
- Real deletion
- No ads, no data sales
- AI output labelled
01 — Data residency
Stored and processed in the EU.
Quri's database, file storage and backend functions run in Convex's EU region. The search index runs in Qdrant's EU region. That's where your emails, the index built from them, your questions and your drafts live.
Sign-in is handled by Clerk in the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Every provider, with its location and transfer safeguard, is listed on our subprocessors page.
02 — AI processing
AI providers process mail text as our subprocessors.
To make your mail searchable by meaning, text from your emails is sent to OpenAI to compute embeddings. To answer a question or draft a reply, your question and the relevant email excerpts go to OpenAI or, if selected, Anthropic.
OpenAI does not use data sent through its API for training. Where configured, OpenAI processes requests with EU data residency. Enterprise customers can bring their own keys (BYOK), so requests run on accounts they control.
03 — Encryption
Credentials encrypted by us. Content encrypted at rest.
Mailbox passwords, SMTP credentials and BYOK API keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they are stored, using versioned keys so keys can be rotated.
Email content and the search index are encrypted at rest by our infrastructure providers. Quri does not add its own application-level encryption to email content, and we say so plainly.
04 — Your rights
Export everything. Delete for real.
On every plan, including Free, you can export your data yourself. Quri builds the archive and emails you a download link that expires after 7 days.
Deleting your account removes your mailbox credentials, emails, search index, AI conversations and drafts, revokes provider access and stops syncing. Security audit records are pseudonymized. Emails removed from your mailbox are purged from Quri after 30 days.
05 — AI transparency
AI output is labelled as AI output.
Answers and drafted replies are marked as AI-generated, in line with Art. 50 of the EU AI Act. Answers cite the emails they are based on, so you can check them against the source.
Drafts are never sent on their own: you review, edit and send them through your own mailbox. Details are on our AI transparency page.
06 — Enterprise controls
Your keys, your identity provider, your contract.
Enterprise customers can bring their own OpenAI, Anthropic and Qdrant keys (BYOK), so AI and search requests run on accounts they control and can revoke.
SSO via SAML or OIDC is available on request, and Enterprise agreements include a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR. Quri is developed and operated by KI-Quadrat Systemhaus GmbH, whose information security management system is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and whose AI management system is certified to ISO/IEC 42001:2023. The certificates cover the company's management systems, not the cloud providers on our subprocessors page. We don't hold a SOC 2 report.
