Aside from remote images, they store all of your emails on their servers. Not sure why they don't receive the same scrutiny that other email apps like Edison have [1].
I've heard enough fishy stories from former engineers there — people should think twice before logging in and letting them ingest your full account history (as with any third party email app, which Gmail is already cracking down on [2]).

- Cd00d 7y agoEdison packages up info from user emails and sells that on the data market. Maybe Superhuman isn't doing this (yet), and therefore aren't being scrutinized for this security/privacy lapse in the same way.
- sahaskatta 7y agoI do not think this is true. I'm pretty sure it's all locally stored aside from "scheduled emails" which are temporarily stored on their services before they are deleted. Note: I'm not using Superhuman currently, but tried it briefly a few months ago.
