Terms of Service — Zen Inbox Cleaner
Last Updated: July 6, 2026
Welcome to Zen Inbox Cleaner. By downloading, accessing, or using our application ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). Please read them carefully before using the App.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using Zen Inbox Cleaner, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, notify users through the App or its App Store / Google Play listings. Your continued use of the App after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction) to use Zen Inbox Cleaner. By using the App, you represent that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. You must also have a valid Google account to use the App's core features.
3. Description of Service
Zen Inbox Cleaner is an on-device mobile application available on Android and iOS, designed to help users manage and clean bulk and subscription emails — primarily those in Gmail's Promotions, Social, and Updates category tabs, along with newsletters and mailing lists identified through standard email headers (such as List-Unsubscribe and List-ID).
The App connects to your Gmail account via the official Google Gmail API, using three OAuth scopes — gmail.modify, gmail.settings.basic, and userinfo.email — to:
- Read email metadata (sender, subject, date, and unsubscribe-related headers) to group and display emails for your review;
- Move user-selected emails to your Gmail Trash folder on your explicit confirmation;
- Optionally help you unsubscribe from senders, using the standard unsubscribe mechanism specified in the sender's email headers (RFC 2369 / RFC 8058). Depending on what the sender supports, this may involve the App sending a single standard one-click POST request on your behalf, opening the sender's unsubscribe page in a secure in-app browser, or opening your email client with a pre-filled message. In every case, the actual processing of the unsubscribe is performed by the sender, not by the App;
- Optionally create Gmail filters to automatically trash future emails from senders you choose to block ("Cleanup Rules");
- Identify your Google account email address at sign-in (
userinfo.email), used as a stable per-account identifier so that account switches cleanly clear previous-account data and the Settings screen can display the signed-in account.
4. License Grant
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use Zen Inbox Cleaner on a device you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
5. Free Tier, Zen Pro, and Purchases
- Free tier. The App is free to download and use. The free tier includes cleaning up to 2,500 emails (a lifetime tally per account) and up to 3 Cleanup Rules.
- Zen Pro. "Zen Pro" is an optional one-time, non-subscription in-app purchase that removes the free-tier limits (unlimited cleaning and unlimited Cleanup Rules) for your account. There is no recurring charge, no auto-renewal, and no subscription.
- Billing is handled by the platform. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple (App Store, via StoreKit) on iOS and Google (Google Play Billing) on Android, under their respective terms. We never receive your payment method or billing details. Prices are shown in the App in your local currency as set by the platform and may vary by region.
- Restore. You can restore a previous Zen Pro purchase at any time via "Restore Purchase" in the App's Settings, using the platform's standard restore mechanism. On iOS, Zen Pro supports Apple Family Sharing.
- Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their standard store policies; we do not process payments and cannot issue refunds directly. Requests should be made through the App Store or Google Play refund process.
- No additional permissions. The Zen Pro upgrade requires no additional Google OAuth scopes and introduces no third-party billing SDKs; see the Privacy Policy for how entitlement data is handled.
6. User Responsibilities
- Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account and the device on which Zen Inbox Cleaner is installed.
- Review Before Deletion: You are solely responsible for reviewing emails before selecting them for deletion. Emails moved to Trash by the App remain there for 30 days (per Google's standard policy), after which Google permanently deletes them. You may restore them at any time during that 30-day window via the Gmail app or website.
- Cleanup Rules: If you create Cleanup Rules, you acknowledge that these are stored as standard Gmail filters on your Google account and will continue to function even if you close the App, uninstall it, or revoke its access to your Google account. You are responsible for removing any unwanted filters, either from within the App's Cleanup Rules screen or directly in Gmail (Settings → Filters and Blocked Addresses).
- Lawful Use: You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
7. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
- Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the App;
- Use the App to violate any applicable law or regulation, or to infringe the rights of any third party;
- Use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair Google's services or the Gmail API;
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or network connected to the App;
