1. Description of Service

Currtis is an automated email spam protection service that:

  • Connects to your email account via secure authentication
  • Monitors your incoming emails for spam indicators
  • Identifies suspicious messages based on predefined criteria
  • May automatically delete or quarantine identified spam messages
  • Provides a dashboard to review, manage, and restore deleted messages
  • Allows you to whitelist trusted senders and domains to prevent false positives

2. User Accounts and Authentication

To use Currtis, you must:

  • Have a valid email account
  • Grant Currtis permission to access your email data
  • Be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction)
  • Provide accurate and complete information during registration

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

3. Email Access and Message Deletion

Important Notice: Currtis requires permission to read, modify, and delete messages in your email inbox. By using the Service, you explicitly authorize Currtis to:

  • Read email messages to identify potential spam

  • Message content contains suspicious links or phishing attempts

Messages from senders and domains you have whitelisted will not be flagged or deleted. You can manage your whitelist through the Settings page.
