How Folderly Messenger uses Google user data
Folderly Messenger connects to your Google Account so it can show your Gmail conversations and schedule meetings for you. It asks for the following permissions, and uses each one only for the feature listed next to it.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify
Reads your Gmail messages so the app can display them as chat conversations, sends the replies you write, and moves messages to the Bin or restores them when you ask.
https://mail.google.com/
Used only for Empty Bin: permanently deleting the messages that are already in your Gmail Bin, and only after you confirm the exact number of messages in a warning dialog.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events
Lets you view, create, edit and delete events in your own Google Calendar without leaving a conversation.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.freebusy
Checks whether the people you invite are free or busy at a proposed time, so you can pick a slot that works.
Folderly Messenger does not store your Gmail messages or Calendar events in a database. The app has no database; it reads data from Google only while you are using it, and nothing is kept after your session ends.
Your Google sign-in token is held only in a secure, HTTP-only browser cookie for the active session. Signing out or deleting your account revokes the token and clears the cookie.
We never sell your Google data, use it for advertising, or use it to develop, improve or train generalised AI or machine learning models.
Folderly Messenger's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can review or revoke this access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
