How Meridian Mail handles Gmail data.

Data the app accesses

After the mailbox owner authorizes the app, Meridian Mail can access the account address, sender and recipient information, message and thread metadata, email content, attachments, drafts, labels, send-as addresses and Gmail signature settings. Google provides an OAuth authorization token so the app can connect again without storing the Gmail password.

How the app uses it

Gmail data is used for authorized mailbox administration and correspondence. The desktop tool can search and open messages, retrieve requested attachments, manage mailbox items and drafts, and check or update sender settings and signatures. Outbound email requires the mailbox owner’s approval of the exact message before it is sent.

Storage and disclosure

Authorization tokens are stored in files with access restricted to the local computer user. Gmail remains the source for mailbox records. An authorized operator may save selected attachments or correspondence for company records. This informational site has no sign-in form and does not receive messages, attachments or OAuth tokens. Meridian Mail does not sell Gmail data or use it for advertising or to train generalized AI or machine learning models.

Google API data and your choices

Meridian Mail’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 disconnect and delete access at any time. For privacy questions or to request deletion of a local copy, contact [email protected].
