Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

movd helps you find which services need your new address when you move. We scan your Gmail metadata (sender names, subject lines, dates) to identify these services — we never read your email content.

  • Attachments of any kind
  • Contacts or address book
  • Calendar events
  • Google Drive files
  • Drafts or sent mail content

Third-Party Services

Google (Gmail API)

Read-only access to email metadata. You can revoke access anytime from Settings or your Google Account.

Anthropic (Claude AI)

For senders we can't classify automatically, we send the sender domain, company name, and one subject line to Anthropic's Claude AI. We never send your email address, physical addresses, or email content.

We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, analytics services, or any other third parties. We do not use tracking cookies or pixels.

Data Storage & Security

  • Google refresh token: Encrypted with AES-256 (Fernet) before storage
  • In transit: All connections use HTTPS/TLS
  • Session: JWT stored in HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax cookie — inaccessible to JavaScript
  • OAuth: PKCE flow prevents authorization code interception

Cookies

We use exactly two cookies, both essential for the app to function:

CookiePurposeDuration
sessionJWT authentication token30 days
oauth_code_verifierPKCE security during login10 minutes

No analytics cookies. No advertising cookies. No tracking pixels.

Data Retention & Deletion

From the Settings page, you can:

  • Export your data — download everything as JSON
  • Disconnect Gmail — revokes access and deletes encrypted token
  • Delete your account — removes profile, checklist, and all data

Your Rights

  • Access — request a copy of your data (Export in Settings)
  • Deletion — request deletion of your data (Delete Account in Settings)
  • Portability — download your data in machine-readable JSON format
  • Revoke consent — disconnect Gmail access anytime

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. All access, deletion, and portability rights are available via Settings.
