(disclaimer: I'm the business guy at Nylas)

Unlike Context.io, the Nylas APIs don't mine email organization data at all! We're not owned by a marketing parent company, and all our customer MSAs make it very clear that we have no rights to any of the email data passing through us.

Nylas is an infrastructure company, like Stripe or AWS, and we make money by building tools and making our customer's lives and products better, not by reselling user data.

Right, I meant organization data meaning who people are emailing, calendars, etc for building CRMish software on top. Wasn't tryint to imply you share any of that data. Just poorly worded on my part, sorry bout that.

It's excellent to hear of companies taking this position.

https://blog.context.io/ seems very much alive. Do you have any other information what they were not able to make work?

They were acquired by ReturnPath and now their unknowing "users" serve as the basis for ReturnPath's data products, feeding information back to email marketers about what typical consumers' email behavior is like on the aggregate.
