This policy applies to all information collected through The Emma App.
The following list is the entirety of the information we store about you.
We receive all but the last two items above when you consent to allow Google to share your information with The Emma App. You are prompted to grant consent when you sign into The Emma App.
We store your push notification token if and when you opt to receive push notifications for new inbox emails in The Emma App. You are prompted to grant permission to share your push notification token after signing in to The Emma App with a Gmail account.
You can disable our push notification token on your iOS device by going to Settings → Apps → Emma → Notifications and toggling the Allow Notifications switch.
We store your phone number if you volunteer it within the settings section of The Emma App. You can remove our access to your phone number in the settings section of The Emma App.
Your access and refresh tokens enable The Emma App to show you your inbox emails, as well as compose and deliver emails from your Gmail address in The Emma App. Consent to share your Google account information with The Emma App is necessary for The Emma App to function. The access token expiration date and times are also necessary to allow us to provide you with the aforementioned features unless and until you revoke The Emma App’s Gmail permissions. You can remove consent here.
Your Gmail address, first and last names, as well as your avatar are used to indicate to you which Gmail accounts you have linked to The Emma App. Again, you can disable The Emma App’s access on a per-Gmail-account basis by following this link.
Your history ID is used to show you your most up-to-date inbox when you open the app without having to pull to refresh your inbox emails list in The Emma App. You can disable our access to updated history IDs here.
We store your push notification token if and when you opt to receive push notifications for new inbox emails in The Emma App. This is an opt-in feature.
You can disable our push notification token on your iOS device by going to Settings → Apps → Emma → Notifications and toggling the Allow Notifications switch.
Your phone number is used to resend you 2FA (two-factor authentication) codes as text messages when they’re sent to you as an email to make pre-filling them on your iPhone easier. This is an opt-in feature. You can remove our access to your phone number in the settings section of The Emma App.
You can remove consent to share the above-listed Gmail account information with us here.
You can disable our push notification token on your iOS device by going to Settings → Apps → Emma → Notifications and toggling the Allow Notifications switch.
You can remove our access to your phone number in the settings section of The Emma App.
The above-listed information is kept in a password-protected database at rest and encrypted in transit using the industry-standard TLS protocol.
The Emma App sends anonymized (not connected to your personally identifiable information in any way) crash reports to Sentry's servers so that we may fix problems that cause The Emma App to break.
All information discussed until this point refers to information that The Emma App collects and stores on disk. Other information passes through The Emma App’s servers, which we do not persist.
Namely, your emails.
Your emails pass through The Emma App’s servers because it’s Google’s preferred and secure way of allowing third-party applications like The Emma App to access and handle your data. Your emails exist on The Emma App’s servers only in memory and only while you’re fetching them.
Plainly put, when you can see a loading spinner in the app, your emails exist on The Emma App’s servers in memory (not on disk). When the loading spinner goes away, The Emma App has finished forwarding your emails to your device and no longer has them on servers in any way (in memory, on disk, or in any other way).
Google user data is retained only as long as necessary to provide our services. Removing a Gmail account from your Emma Email account will delete the Google user data for that account from our servers. If you delete your Emma Email account, all associated Google user data is permanently deleted from our servers.
Every bit of information you trust us with is used for the sole purpose of making The Emma App useful to its users.
We do not send marketing emails, push notifications, or text messages.
We never call you.
We do not sell your information.
