Limited Use Disclosure

Andsend's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Justification for restricted API-scopes that Gmail users can choose to grant Andsend access to, inside the Andsend App

Andsend uses the “https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send”-scope in order to send emails (including email replies).

  • The reason a narrower scope would not be sufficient is because: Andsend needs the ability to send emails for providing the productivity value the Andsend web app should offer. According to Google Gmail API documentation the “gmail.send”-scope is the least restricted scope that allows for sending emails.

Andsend uses the “https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.metadata”-scope in order to view headers of emails (messages) on a thread that was previously created through the API via the “gmail.send”-scope. Through the headers Andsend determines sender(s), recipient(s), the Message-ID and References (see RFC 2822 standards) to be able to reply to a thread.

  • Andsend will not store nor log any contents of the email body. Andsend only looks if there is a result or not, for a given query (i.e. the “boolean value”).
