-- -- We told you yesterday that a startup company called out -- will come to your house three days a week pick up in mail -- it's Janet and then email it back to you.

That's five bucks a month -- asked joining us now is opt out boxes Coke stuff will date.

Well it's great to have you -- as we got some real issues here okay.

Number one okay that's -- under what circumstances would -- I or anybody else want -- manual privacy totally invaded.

By -- guy -- gal come into my mailbox opening up the mail reading it scanning it the whole bull lacks.

Why would I -- want anybody to do that.

Well first thank you so much for having me aren't really not welcome here -- your viewers.

-- and first we call on the on postman and that it's a -- and crew that.

Is actually more skilled and trained and goes through higher background checks and use PS postal employees.

Yep so -- we have privacy I mean it is -- the F yet.

-- think about like this out boxes actually safer than your mailbox so not many people shred recycle.

And then securely store in the cloud all of their postal mail and we do -- for you for just five bucks a month.

But really what we do for the first time is skewed view this incredible amount of control.

Over your postal mail that you never had so you can search for it you can view -- anytime anywhere on any device and what we're really doing Stewart is we are building.

-- brand new postal network.

One and it's built in a Smart efficient -- way that's really is is simply the first application to be built on top of this mountain village and it is -- is the network you you are actually selling the information that you -- -- because if you'll go to people not now you don't know we do not know we do not sell any information not -- you -- Because it wouldn't -- it not at all you go down in my mailbox and open up all my men used genital you know which -- companies all communicating with me.

You know what kind of product somebody and you don't look a little bit about my finances I suggest.

Now that's information you can keep it impossible you can keep it actually private OK but it is in the mania is about individuals.

And you are you telling me you don't sell any information.

All -- -- on net -- news.

We've never sold any information now we do have a great understanding of what we call the mail graphs that they give it much like the social graph on FaceBook.

And really that's that's part of what we're building.

Which is an understanding of what people want and don't want it and right now -- you have no control over -- -- postal mail.

There's -- do not call list that do not spam list there is do not know mail list.

And so that's because there's this really strange incentive to send you more and more stuff that you don't necessarily want.

-- what we do for the first time.

Is for instance what you unsubscribe from junk mail if you can -- direct mail to wherever you are you can email it share it to your counter to your balance that I've got nothing important -- unless they will unlisted that is not bad located in a can a good case you -- It -- coming so much skepticism.

Will Davis -- wonderful picking incredible.

I don't blocks guy thank you very much indeed come back again we -- absolutely cycle stir I'd love to come back banks you know.
