AliasCow
Privacy policy
AliasCow lets you list, add, edit, switch on or off and delete the email aliases on a mailcow mail server that you run or have admin access to. It is made by Daniel Redetzke, an individual developer in Ireland. This policy explains what the app stores and where your data goes.
What AliasCow stores on your device
- Server address: the address of your mailcow server, stored with the app's settings.
- Account email: the email address you enter to show only the aliases that forward to it. It is optional and stored with the app's settings.
- API key: your mailcow API key, stored in the iOS Keychain on this device only. It is not synced to or restored onto other devices.
The aliases themselves are loaded from your server each time and are not saved by the app. Deleting the app removes its settings. iOS may keep the API key in the Keychain after the app is deleted; only AliasCow can read it.
Where your data goes
AliasCow talks only to the mailcow server you enter, using your API key. It connects over HTTPS unless you explicitly enter an http:// address. It sends the requests you make there: loading your aliases, and adding, changing or deleting them. Like any server, yours sees your device's IP address, and mailcow's API only accepts it from addresses you have allowed. What your server does with that data is up to you and whoever runs it.
What AliasCow collects
Nothing. AliasCow has no servers of its own, no accounts, analytics, advertising or tracking, and it contains no third-party code. The developer receives no data from the app.
Security
A mailcow API key with write access can change much more than aliases, so keep your device locked and clear the key in the app's settings if you no longer need it. AliasCow does not accept self-signed certificates, so your server needs a valid one.
Children
AliasCow does not collect any information from anyone, including children.
Your rights
Because AliasCow sends nothing to the developer, there is no personal data about you to access, correct or delete. If you have a question, email [email protected]. If you are in the EU or UK, you may also complain to your data protection authority; in Ireland that is the Data Protection Commission.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new date.
