Privacy Policy
Datenschutzerklärung

Below you will find our privacy policy. Most of us don't speak legalese, and even those who do rarely want to read long, droning essays. If that applies to you, we thought you might appreciate a short and clear text—human to human.We are aware that by using Dunbar, you are entrusting us with a lot of important, valuable data.

We don't take the trust you place in us for granted. Your privacy and the security of your data is something we take very seriously. So here's our commitment to you:

We only load necessary data. After account creation, you will be asked to connect external accounts like email. You'll need to connect at least this one account for Dunbar to be useful. Connected accounts are only used to build a holistic view of your network; each has special protections to ensure Dunbar only uses data that is necessary for the product, and that sensitive fields are protected. We ask for the most restricted access that each integration allows.

Top-notch encryption and security practices. We are committed to securing access to your data. For your google data that means encrypting everything in transit, and applying best practices to ensure it’s stored and processed securely. Only limited members of our team, where strictly necessary, have administrator access to our infrastructure. We comply with applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including across our website https://www.dunbarlabs.com/ and other sites we own and operate.

No third-party data sharing. Dunbar does not lay any ownership claims on your data, nor do we share it or sell it to others. It’s one of the fundamental things we want to change: Finally making YOU the owner of your own network data with all the power in your hands. Your network should always be your own. Here you are in control of your data and can modify and remove it at will. We do not make your data available commercially to any third parties.


No Use of Google Workspace APIs for generalized AI/ML Development. Dunbar does not use data obtained from Google Workspace APIs for the purpose of developing, improving, or training generalized AI and/or ML models.

If you decide to leave, we will permanently delete all your data. Period.If you have any questions or concerns, we are always happy to hear from you (socials or privacy@dunbarlabs.com).

This policy is effective as of 01.01.2024.
