7. Data and Privacy
Our use of your data is governed by our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described therein.
8. Email Protection Services
When you connect your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant, you grant Spoof Defense permission to:
- Read incoming email — including headers, body content, embedded URLs, and attachment metadata — solely to detect phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and brand impersonation.
- Apply Gmail or Microsoft Graph labels to detected threats (e.g.,
SuspectedSpoof), and optionally move them to a quarantine folder or the spam/junk folder per your configured policy. - Insert administrator-configured trust banners on legitimate vendor mail.
- Enumerate enrolled mailboxes and verify Workspace domain ownership during onboarding (Google
admin.directory.user.readonlyandadmin.directory.domain.readonlyscopes). - Subscribe to Gmail push notifications and Microsoft Graph webhook subscriptions for real-time scanning.
- Send alert notifications to administrators from Spoof Defense's own email infrastructure (
noreply@spoofdefense.com). Spoof Defense never composes or sends mail using your tenant's identity.
Privacy guarantee: Email body content is analyzed in real-time and never stored. Subject lines are stored as one-way hashes for deduplication only. You may disconnect your email integration at any time through the portal.
Our use of Google user data complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
9. Deep Analysis
AI Peer Review is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by a tenant administrator. When enabled, anonymized email metadata (and body content only if Body Scanning is also explicitly enabled) is sent to Anthropic for threat analysis under a zero-retention data processing agreement. Anthropic does not store or train on this data. AI analysis data is subject to our data retention settings and can be purged at any time.
