Privacy
Not a lawyer page. What Motion reads, stores, and never does — so connecting mail or CRM feels like a colleague, not a trap.
We read quiet and open-loop signals from connected mail — not your whole mailbox. A small people list here so we can rank. We don’t sell your mail.
- Read
- Quiet and open-loop signals from connected mail, plus CRM if you connect one. That’s how we rank Needs you.
- Store
- Name, email, last touch, short notes, one last inbound snippet, and drafts you review. OAuth tokens encrypted at rest. Not a copy of your mailbox.
- Never
- Never auto-send. Disconnect removes access. We don’t sell your mail.
Ranking and drafts may go to Anthropic to process for Motion. Not sold. Not used to train Motion’s own models.
Production data lives on Motion’s hosted infra. Local demo may keep a database on your machine.
// The fuller page
What we collect
Your account (email, name, password hash). If you request access before an invite, the email you send us — plus optional name, role, and why. Quiet and open-loop signals from connected mail — not the whole mailbox. A small people list: name, email, last touch, short notes, one last inbound snippet. Drafts you review. Teach voice if you paste it. CRM contact signals if you connect one. OAuth tokens, encrypted at rest.
AI processing
To rank Needs you we may send a shortlist (name, company, last touch, open-loop notes — not your mailbox) to Anthropic. To write drafts we may send Teach voice plus that light person context. Anthropic processes those requests for Motion. We don’t sell that content. Motion doesn’t train its own models on it. Nothing goes out until you approve the send.
Who helps us run this
Vendors that process a slice of the product for us — not buyers of your mail.
- Anthropic
- Ranking shortlists and draft prose. They process those requests for Motion.
- Google / Microsoft
- OAuth so you can connect Gmail or Outlook. We never auto-send.
- Stripe
- Billing if you pay. Not your mail.
- Host
- Vercel runs the app. Production data lives in Motion’s hosted database.
How long we keep it
The people list, drafts, Teach, and connection metadata stay while your workspace is open. Disconnect deletes that provider’s tokens and stops new reads. We don’t keep a second mailbox.
Export or delete
Email us to export or delete what we hold for your workspace. There isn’t a self-serve dump yet. Disconnect on Connect removes that provider’s access.

Children
Motion is a work product. Not for children, and we don’t knowingly collect from anyone under 13.
Changes
If we change how this works, we update this page. No surprise badge wall — just the facts here.
