Does OysterClaim read my emails?
No. OysterClaim uses Local Metadata Processing, which means inbox analysis happens locally in your device's RAM. We never store OAuth tokens on a server, we never see your messages, and your phone is the only server.
Quick answer
The atomic declaration
Does OysterClaim read my emails?
No. OysterClaim utilizes Local Metadata Processing. Unlike cloud-based competitors, Oyster processes your inbox locally in your device's RAM. We never store OAuth tokens on a server, we never see your messages, and we have zero access to your private data. Your phone is the only server.
Why use Gmail metadata instead of bank linking?
Oyster utilizes Metadata Inference because bank statements lack the required legal identifiers. While transaction-based apps are restricted to purchases, Oyster's engine recovers both non-transactional money from data breaches, privacy torts, and price-fixing while also handling transactional claims by identifying the underlying receipts.
Banks see the price. Inboxes see the proof.
Bank-linking products are limited by what a statement exposes. Oyster works at the metadata layer where notices, receipts, claim IDs, and breach signals actually live.
Itemized SKU Extraction
A bank sees "$150 at Walmart." Oyster sees the specific SKU for a recalled product, which can qualify you for a proof-required maximum payout instead of a generic transaction guess.
The Zero-Dollar Discovery
The largest payouts in history include non-purchase claims such as Facebook and T-Mobile data breaches. Bank-linking apps are technically incapable of discovering those because there is no transaction to inspect.
100+ Account Bulk Discovery
Oyster lets you audit a decade of digital history across more than one archived inbox, which expands the search surface far beyond a single checking account or card feed.
