What this tier means

High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.

How Gorganizer detects this

Phishing emails claiming the victim's data is used for AI model training and invoking GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure) / CCPA to harvest credentials or PII through a fraudulent opt-out form. Three-part detection: (1) AI training data / opt out of AI training language, (2) GDPR / CCPA / Article 17 / right to erasure regulatory urgency, (3) delete-data / withdrawal-of-consent CTA at non-official link, no List-Unsubscribe. EDPB 2026; Proofpoint GDPR-lure campaign Q1 2026. Exploits growing public awareness of AI data practices and regulatory rights.

False-positive guard

Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a threat-tier signal — it adds a strong contribution to the trash score. The full pipeline still requires convergence across multiple modules + a margin over the safety floor before deletion happens, and Gmail's trash (30-day recovery) is always used — never permanent delete.

About the scoring engine

Gorganizer's scoring engine emits over 1,800 signals across six modules — headers, sender, subject, body, attachments, and structural metadata. Every email is scored by every module independently; the final verdict requires multiple modules to agree and the trash score to beat the safety floor by a margin.

Sacred safety guards — never delete starred emails, replies, calendar invites, receipts/invoices, or attachments — apply unconditionally regardless of any signal.
