How it works

Four steps. From noisy to quiet.

The nanny connects to Gmail in read-only mode, finds the cold senders, removes you from the databases that fed them, and filters 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 connect Gmail (read-only)

One click. Google's OAuth flow shows you exactly what the nanny can and can't do. The nanny reads your inbox and the From addresses of cold senders - she cannot send mail, delete mail, or read attachments without your explicit permission for each action.

What she sees: sender names, subject lines, message metadata. What she doesn't see: contents of emails from people you actually know, calendar invites, attachments, payment receipts. You can revoke access from your Google account at any time.
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 sends it from your own Gmail. Sending from your address is the legal trick: it proves you're the data subject and obligates the database to respond within 30 days. Most respond within a week.

Why your Gmail, not ours: a removal request from a third party is easy to ignore. A removal request from you, with verified ownership of the email being removed, carries the full force of GDPR Article 17 and CCPA. The nanny is the operator. You're the legal authority.
4

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 creates Gmail filters that catch new pitches and applies a "Cold" label, optionally archiving them out of your inbox entirely. Your real work stays. The noise gets quieter every week.

Optional auto-reply: Focus plan and above can have the nanny respond to each new cold pitch with a polite GDPR/CCPA removal request - automatically, from your Gmail, signed off by you. Most senders comply. The ones who don't get blocked at the filter.

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 (weekly on Deep Work), confirms that previous removals still hold, and re-sends requests where your data sneaks back in.

What you get: a monthly summary - “12 removals confirmed, 2 re-listings caught, 47 new cold pitches filtered.” No surprises. No drift back to chaos.
What the nanny can and can't do

Transparent by design.

Read-only access is a design choice, not a trust fall. Here's exactly what's happening in your account.

✓

What she can see

Sender addresses, subject lines, and headers of messages in your inbox. Enough to identify cold outreach patterns and the database each sender used.

✗

What she can't do

Read full message contents from people you've corresponded with. Open attachments. Delete anything. Send mail without your explicit action.

Common questions

Questions before you connect.

Why does the nanny send the removal requests from my Gmail?
Because GDPR and CCPA grant rights to the data subject - the person whose data it is. When a removal request comes from your own email, the database has a legal obligation to comply within 30 days. When a third party sends the same request on your behalf, databases often demand identity verification, government ID, and notarized proof of agency. Sending from your Gmail removes that friction entirely.
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. The nanny re-runs the scan monthly (weekly on Deep Work) and sends a fresh removal request if she finds you've been re-added. You get a notification each time.
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 still detects the pattern from your inbox and can send a generic GDPR removal request, 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. Allow specific senders, domains, or keywords through. The nanny only removes you from databases you don't want, and only filters cold pitches that match your "no thanks" criteria. The default is conservative - she asks before doing anything destructive.
Does the nanny work with Outlook, iCloud, or other email providers?
Gmail only at launch. Outlook and other providers are on the roadmap. If you're interested in early access for Outlook or another provider, drop your address in the form on the homepage and we'll let you know when it's ready.
How much does it cost?
There's a free tier that runs the cold-email scan and shows you which databases have your email. Paid plans start at $9/month and add the actual removal automation. See pricing.
