How it works

Four steps. From noisy to quiet.

Drop your work email, see who's selling it, then let the nanny remove you from the databases that fed the cold senders and filter anything new that slips through. Here's exactly what happens.

The full flow

From signup to silence.

It takes about 90 seconds to start. Most of the actual work happens in the background over the following weeks.

1

You check your email (free, no signup)

Drop your work email and confirm it with a 6-digit code we send you. The nanny then runs a free check across the supported B2B databases. No signup, no Gmail connection, no inbox access — the 6-digit code just verifies the address is actually yours.

What she sees: the email address you entered and which databases have it. What she doesn't see: your inbox, your contacts, your message history, your sent items, your attachments — there's no account access of any kind, no OAuth grant, no API token.
2

She finds the cold senders

The nanny scans the last 90 days of your inbox. She looks for the patterns that mark a cold outreach: senders you've never replied to, mass-mailer infrastructure, "first-touch" templates, follow-up sequences with no prior thread. You get a report of every cold sender, grouped by which database probably sold your email to them.

What you'll see: a list of cold senders, the database each one likely used (Apollo, ZoomInfo, Lusha, etc.), the volume of pitches per channel, and a one-click action to remove yourself from each source.
3

She sends the removal requests

For each B2B sales database that has your email, the nanny prepares a GDPR/CCPA-compliant removal request and files it on your behalf as your authorized agent — citing your verified instruction (the 6-digit code you confirmed) and setting your email as Reply-To, so the database's response reaches you directly. The 30-day statutory clock starts the moment the request lands. Most respond within a week.

Why this is binding: a removal request from an anonymous third party is easy to ignore. A request filed by your authorized agent — with verified ownership of the email being removed — carries the full force of GDPR Article 17 and CCPA. The nanny is your operator. You're the legal authority.

She filters what slips through

Even after removal, some cold senders already had your address saved or got it from a referral. For these, the nanny shows you the exact inbox filter to set up — a few clicks in your mail client to catch new pitches with a "Cold" label, optionally archiving them out of your inbox entirely. Your real work stays. The noise gets quieter every week.

Why this part is manual: The nanny never watches your incoming mail — that's by design, not a limitation. The removal requests she files are tied to databases the scan surfaced; anything that slips past those removals gets caught by the filter you set up in your mail client.

She checks back every month

Removal isn't a one-time event. Databases re-list. New databases buy your email. The nanny re-scans monthly, confirms that previous removals still hold, and re-sends requests where your data sneaks back in. That's the recurring value of the paid plan.

What you get: a monthly summary - “12 removals confirmed, 2 re-listings caught, 5 new removal requests filed.” No surprises. No drift back to chaos.
What the nanny can and can't do

Transparent by design.

No inbox access — the nanny files removal requests as your authorized agent. Here's exactly what she does and doesn't do.

How requests are filed

Inbox Nanny files GDPR/CCPA removal requests on your behalf as your authorized agent. Your verified email is set as Reply-To, so each database's response reaches you directly.

What she'll never do

Log into your email account. Read your inbox. Open attachments. Send mail from your address. Hold any kind of access to your mailbox at all — there's no OAuth grant, no API token, no session.

You're in control

See every request she filed and every response she got back. Revoke the authorization in two clicks. Export all your data anytime. Delete your account and we delete every byte.

Common questions

Questions before you connect.

How does the nanny have legal authority to file removal requests for me?
She files them as your authorized agent. Under GDPR Article 17 and CCPA, an authorized agent can act on the data subject's behalf — and when the agent cites the data subject's verified instruction (the 6-digit code you confirmed) and lists the data subject's verified email as Reply-To, the database has a legal obligation to comply within 30 days. Without that verified authorization, databases often demand identity proof and notarized proof of agency. The 6-digit verification short-circuits all of that friction.
What if a database doesn't respond to my removal request?
The nanny tracks every request. If a database fails to respond within 30 days (the GDPR statutory limit), she sends a follow-up referencing the original. If they still don't respond, she escalates - notifying you so you can file a complaint with the relevant data protection authority. Most databases comply on the first request.
Will senders know that I removed my email?
Senders don't get notified. The database simply stops showing your contact details in search results. From the sender's perspective, you just stopped existing in their lookup tool. They keep prospecting, the next person gets pitched.
What happens if my email re-appears in a database after removal?
Re-listing is common. Databases re-scrape LinkedIn, company websites, and other sources every few months. On the paid plan the nanny re-runs the scan monthly and sends a fresh removal request if she finds you've been re-added. You get a notification each time. That's the recurring value of the subscription.
Can the nanny remove me from databases that aren't in the supported list?
The nanny handles 17+ major B2B sales databases out of the box. For smaller or niche databases, she can still send a generic GDPR removal request to the database directly, but success rates are higher with directly supported databases where she knows the exact opt-out flow.
What if I actually want some cold emails - like recruiters, or for specific topics?
You configure exceptions in the dashboard. Want to stay listed in recruiting databases but get out of everything sales? Mark those databases as exceptions and the nanny skips them. For the inbox side, your "no thanks" criteria live in the filter rule you set up in your mail client - keywords, senders, or domains you actually want through. Default is conservative; she asks before filing anything destructive.
Does the nanny work with Outlook, iCloud, or other email providers?
Yes — any provider. The scan and removal don't require access to your email account; we only need to verify the address itself, via a 6-digit code we send you. Works with Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, custom domains, anything that receives mail.
How much does it cost?
There's a free tier that runs the cold-email scan and shows you which databases have your email. One paid plan at $9/month adds active removal, monthly re-scans, and auto-removal when re-listings appear. Phone removal is coming soon. See pricing.
