| Core approach | PublishedA guided sender-by-sender cleanupRank senders, inspect the effect, then choose Keep, Archive, Unsubscribe, Later, or Delete. | PublishedKeep, Block, RollupThe product page describes blocking unwanted email, keeping the mail you want, and rolling the rest up into a single daily digest. |
|---|
| Mailbox support | LimitedGmail and Google WorkspaceDeclutrMail is intentionally Gmail-specific today. | Not publicly statedGmail documented; other providers not stated by nameThe product page says it supports major email providers without naming them. The privacy notice documents Gmail sign-in, plus a Google App Password option for accounts outside Google’s restricted-permission rules. |
|---|
| Existing-mail cleanup | PublishedYes — by senderArchive, Later, and Delete act on matching current inbox mail. Unsubscribe does not move existing mail. | LimitedRollup collects subscriptions into a digestChosen subscriptions are gathered into one daily email. Bulk archiving or deleting a sender’s existing backlog is not stated on the reviewed product page. |
|---|
| Future-mail automation | LimitedSeparate Autopilot rulesAutopilot rules are configured separately — you preview a rule before turning it on, and it then acts on future matches, or collects them for your batch approval if you choose Watch first. A one-time Archive or Later action does not automatically become a future-mail rule. | PublishedCore behaviorKeep, Block, and Rollup are ongoing per-sender dispositions rather than one-time cleanups. |
|---|
| Unsubscribe | LimitedWhen the sender provides an unsubscribe methodRFC one-click requests can run directly. Mailto-based requests require a manual step; unsupported senders stay explicit. | LimitedBlocking is the published mechanismThe reviewed pages describe blocking unwanted email. Whether an opt-out request is delivered to the sender, or mail is instead handled after it arrives, is not stated. |
|---|
| Preview and recovery | LimitedRecorded in Activity when recovery is availableArchive, Later, and Delete use the 30-day Activity Undo window. Delete also has separate Gmail Trash recovery, normally up to 30 days. Unsubscribe is not a reversible DeclutrMail action. | Not publicly statedNot publicly statedA count-and-sample preview before a change, and any undo window afterwards, were not stated on the reviewed product and privacy pages. |
|---|
| Email-data posture | PublishedListed Gmail details, including the preview snippetFull message bodies and attachments are not fetched. | LimitedCopies of commercial emails; Gmail terms cover bodies and attachmentsThe privacy notice says that connecting an inbox collects copies of and information from commercial email — receipts, confirmations, promotions — and that its Gmail access may read, write, modify, or control message bodies including attachments, headers, and settings to provide the service. It also states this Gmail data is not used to serve advertisements. |
|---|
| How the product is funded | PublishedSubscriptions onlyThe published privacy policy states that Gmail data is not sold and is not used for advertising of any kind, and that it is not transferred to third parties except the subprocessors needed to run the service. | PublishedA market-research panel, stated on its own siteIts site says: “We use your data to fuel our market research business, NielsenIQ.” The privacy notice says panelist data about the commercial emails you receive, plus demographics, may be sold or shared with customers including e-commerce businesses, investment companies, consumer brands, media companies, and data brokers — while directly identifying details are never sold to target you. |
|---|
| Disclosure history | PublishedNo regulatory actionDeclutrMail is a new product with no enforcement history; treat that as absence of a record, not as a track record. | PublishedFTC settlement finalized December 2019The FTC alleged Unrollme falsely told consumers it would not “touch” their personal emails while sharing users’ e-receipts with its then-parent Slice Technologies for market-research products. The finalized order bars misrepresenting what it collects, uses, stores, or shares, and required deleting affected e-receipts absent express consent. |
