Service Terms

No Warranty

This service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Free Service

YouHaveNewMail is currently provided free with selected hosting plans and may be rolled out to more users in the near future. We may modify, limit, or withdraw free access at any time.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the service for:

  • Spam, unsolicited bulk communication, or abuse
  • Excessive automated polling or attempts to bypass limits
  • Illegal, harmful, deceptive, or infringing activities
  • Interfering with system stability or security

Suspension

Excessive use, abuse, or suspected misuse may result in temporary restriction or permanent suspension.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any direct or indirect damages arising from the use or inability to use the service.

Privacy

YouHaveNewMail is designed to be privacy-first. Alerts focus on mailbox activity, not message content.

We notify you of the number of new messages and the combined size of those messages across your monitored mailboxes/accounts. We do not read, process, or include the content of your emails in notifications.

Contact form submissions are used only to respond to your enquiry and to protect the service from abuse.

Data Handling

We only collect the minimum data required to operate the service, such as account identifiers, routing metadata, and delivery preferences. We avoid storing unnecessary personal data and periodically review stored records.

Retention

Operational logs and support submissions are retained only as long as reasonably needed for reliability, fraud prevention, and customer support, then deleted or anonymized where practical.

Your Control

You can request updates or deletion of contact-submitted personal data by contacting support. We process requests within a reasonable timeframe, subject to legal and operational obligations.

Security

Connections are protected with TLS/SSL in transit. Access is restricted and we follow least-privilege principles when handling credentials and notification destinations.

Access Controls

Administrative access is restricted to authorized operators, protected by authentication controls, and reviewed periodically to remove unnecessary privileges.

Service Protection

We use layered protections including request validation, abuse controls, and provider-level safeguards to reduce spam, brute-force attempts, and malicious traffic.

Incident Response

If we detect a significant security issue, we prioritize containment, remediation, and transparent communication to affected users when appropriate.
