3. What is "personal data"?
Personal data is any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier. Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers. The personal data that we collect and use is set out in paragraph 5 below.
4. What are my rights?
Under the data protection legislation, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold. You have the right to:
a) be informed about how we process your personal data;
b) access and be given a copy of the personal data we hold about you. (See paragraph 10 below about this);
c) require us to correct any personal data that we hold about you if any of it is inaccurate or incomplete;
d) be forgotten: in certain circumstances you have a right to have your personal data erased from our records;
e) restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data;
f) object to the way we process your personal data (e.g. for direct marketing);
g) withdraw consent: if we are relying on your consent as the legal basis for using your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time;
h) data portability: the right in certain circumstances to have us transfer your personal data to another organisation; and
i) not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) which produces legal effects on you. We do not use your personal data in this way.
j) You have the right to revoke our app's access to your Gmail account at any time through your Google Account settings (https://myaccount.google.com/permissions). Revoking access will not affect any emails already sent.
As to how to contact us for more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, see paragraph 11 below.
It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up-to-date. If any of the personal data we hold about you changes, please keep us informed as long as we have that data.
If you wish to make a complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office but please contact us first (see paragraph 11 below) so that we might try to resolve your concerns ourselves.

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may

We will only use your personal data for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected unless we reasonably believe that another purpose is compatible with that or those original purpose(s) and need to use your personal data for that purpose. If we do use your personal data in this way and you wish us to explain how the new purpose is compatible with the original, please contact us using the details in paragraph 11 below.
If we need to use your personal data for a purpose that is unrelated to, or incompatible with, the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, we will inform you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
In some circumstances, where permitted or required by law, we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent. This will only be done within the bounds of the data protection legislation and your legal rights.
We access and use Gmail data only for the purpose of sending emails on your behalf as requested by you. This access is limited to the scope of permissions you grant during the OAuth process and complies with Google's User Data Policy. Your Gmail data is not stored, shared, or used for any purpose other than providing the requested service.
7. How long will you keep my personal data?

The security of your personal data is essential to us, and to protect your data, we take a number of important measures, including the following:
� limiting access to your personal data to those employees, volunteers, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a legitimate need to know and ensuring that they are subject to duties of confidentiality;
� procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data) including notifying you and/or the Information Commissioner's Office where we are legally required to do so.
As a global platform, we may store some
users' personal data outside the UK or EU. If we do, we ensure your data is
processed only in countries that provide an adequate level of protection for
your data or where the recipient provides appropriate safeguards, such as model
contract clauses, binding corporate rules, or mechanisms like the EU-U.S.
Privacy Shield framework.
Gmail Data Security:
We
do not permanently store your Gmail data. All data accessed during the
email-sending process is handled securely and is not retained after the service
is completed. We implement encryption and other security measures to protect
your data during transit and use.
9. Do you share my personal data?
We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to the following exception[s].

Third-Party Sharing of Gmail Data
We do not share your Gmail data with third parties, except as necessary to provide the email-sending functionality (e.g., third-party servers securely processing email requests). These third parties are bound by confidentiality and data security obligations.
10. Compliance with Google API Services User Data Policy
Our application complies with Google's
API Services User Data Policy. We adhere to Google's "Limited Use"
requirements, ensuring that Gmail data is used solely for the stated purpose of
sending emails on your behalf and is not stored, shared, or accessed beyond
what is necessary to fulfill this functionality.
11. How can I access my personal data?
If you want to know what personal data we hold about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a subject access request ("SAR").
All SARS should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal address shown in paragraph 11.
There is not normally any charge for a SAR. If your request is 'manifestly unfounded or excessive' (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
We will respond to your SAR within a month and, or receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
