Skeptical guy here: 1) Personal Data (names, surnames, IPs, potentially personal data within the messages) - not YOUR accountability (Controller) but you automatically become a Processor and all the headache it entails (GDPR for EU and any other law for other places)

2) (I got other comments that I will not bring out as it's my personal preference on doing "print to PDF" and save it in a format "YYYY-MM-DD-From-Subject")

(1) is fair point. Use at your own risk. This tool is transactional and stores nothing.

(2) that’s a different use case. This tool is for automation, something that is not being done manually. I do agree there are lots of options to do this on your computer. This tool is for somebody who has emails going and forth and wants an easy PDF copy.

I will continue being skeptical and hear me out.. (because your clients may also be skeptical).

Emails are by default not encrypted, so even if you claim (apologies - "trust no one") that you don't keep any data (well you MUST be at least keeping logs)(and how can we know that XYZ agency won't tap into your systems?) then the ISPs can sniff these stuff out.

I'm not trying to trash your product, it is a good thing to have if one needs it, but I am thinking of the risks (and so do all your potential clients).
