Can I register using an email other than @gmail?
No. For now, Sentrya works only with personal Gmail accounts. I plan on expanding to other email providers later in the future.
Does Sentrya read my messages?
Sentrya doesn't read your message contents. It accesses the email's header, containing the sender's information (e.g. email address and security signature)
Is Sentrya approved by Google?
Yes. Sentrya has undergone security verifications by Google, ensuring the privacy of your information.
Do I need to delete my data, if I unsubscribe from emails?
Yes. In fact, I don’t recommend unsubscribing at all. When
you unsubscribe, all you do is tell a company that you don’t
want their promotions anymore. But they are still free to
share and sell your data to many others, to make up the loss.
And in turn, this can lead to even more promotions and useless
junk. Deleting your data is a safer option, and I strongly
recommend it when you don’t use some services.
Does Sentrya protect against spam bombs?
Sentrya lets you create your own whitelist with trusted
senders, which protects your inbox against multiple types of spam, including spam bombs.
How do I know which sender is legitimate and which is scam?
Sentrya is programmed to analyse the safety of the sender,
their security signature, as well as checking against current
records. Each company and spam is also manually verified, to
ensure the reduction of false-positives.
I get only 5-10 emails every day, including spam and other
junk. Do I need Sentrya?
It’s entirely up to you. If you don’t mind checking your
email and deleting useless stuff multiple times a day, then
you don’t need Sentrya. If you want to keep your inbox
organised, and ensure that the only emails you get are the
ones you need, Sentrya is the right tool for you.
