Last updated January 1st, 2023
These comments pull out key data, if you don't feel like reading the entire document.
This privacy policy explains how Gwiz, Inc. (“we”, “us”, and “our”) collects, stores, uses, and protects personal data. By using the Gwiz application, addon, service, and functionality (the “Service”), you agree to our processing of personal data that you submit to the Service.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time by posting a new version on this web page. You should visit this page occasionally to ensure you agree with any changes. When we make an update, we will post our revised privacy policy on this web page and update the “last modified” date above to reflect the date of the most recent change. By continuing to use our Service after we post any such changes, you agree that you accept the new privacy policy.
Our Commitment To Privacy
We are dedicated to the privacy and security of your data.
Your privacy is very important to us. To help ensure you’re in control of your personal data, we provide this privacy policy to explain how we process personal data and the rights you have to limit our use of your personal data.
The Data We Collect
We collect some data, but will not sell it or use it in undesirable ways.
This privacy policy applies to all personal data processed in the Service, which typically includes email headers and body along with any personal data contained in the email. As a result, it is impossible to list all types of personal data that may be processed. However, we typically process:
• personal data (such as first name and last name);
• contact data (such as email address);
• store authorization credentials to connect to Gmail™;
• comments you make in our forums or elsewhere on our website, which could include any category of personal data; and
• any other type of data we may ask you or that you may choose to provide us with.
The Way We Use Personal Data
We use your data to improve our product and share interesting information directly to you.
We may use personal data for the following purposes:
• to enable your use of the features we provide through our Service;
• to communicate with you and to authenticate with third-party products integrated with our Service;
• to charge you applicable fees for using our Service; and
• to diagnose technical problems with our Service.
We may also use non-identifying and aggregated data to help improve our Service and our website.
Our use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Data Retention
We retain your data until you cancel your subscription.
We will delete all the personal data that you’ve previously submitted to the Service, as soon as you cancel your Service.
All email resides on Google’s Gmail servers and is never held on Gwiz servers. Gwiz uses Gmail API to monitor email activity to perform Gwiz services. Emails are never deleted by Gwiz. The only modifications Gwiz services do to emails are the following: add new label(s) or remove label(s).
We securely remove customer data (that can be regenerated) from inactive accounts after 90 days. This includes any cached information about emails that did reside in the customers email server folders that Gwiz monitors.
We "cancel" accounts that have no billing relationship and have been inactive for 6 months. The customers are warned about once a month that this cancellation is pending and given directions for how to activate their accounts to avoid it.
Permissions Needed For Gwiz To Work
During login, we require certain permissions for Gwiz to work.
We are required to obtain certain permissions in order for Gwiz to function properly so we can interact with Google's Gmail service.
Cookies
Cookies are first-party only (created by Gwiz).
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website or app stores on your computer or mobile device. We use the following types of cookies:
• User‑input cookies (i.e., session ID) which are first‑party cookies that keep track of your input when filling online forms, and similar things. These cookies have a lifespan of not more than a few hours, typically.
• Authentication cookies, which identify you once you’ve logged in to our web application, and which last for the duration of your session.
We may also use retargeting or re-marketing technologies to show you our ads on sites that you visit across the Internet. Gwiz and third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your recent visits to our website.
Sharing Personal Data with Service Providers
We share the required minimum of data with Google Cloud and payment processing tools only.
We share personal data with our service providers, that process personal data on behalf of Gwiz. Such third parties include those providing:
• Google’s internet hosting, infrastructure services;
• Payment processing services
Our service providers are located within the United States. Gwiz may be liable for the protection of your personal data that we transfer to our service providers, except to the extent that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to any unauthorized or improper processing.
Limited Use Disclosure
We comply with Google API Services User Data Policy.
Gwiz's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Other Disclosures of Your Personal Data
We will obey government laws that subpoena data.
We may disclose your personal data (i) to the extent required by law or if we have a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to comply with official investigations or legal proceedings initiated by governmental and/or law enforcement officials, or private parties, including but not limited to: in response to subpoenas, search warrants, or court orders, (ii) if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our company’s business interests, assets, or both, or in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, restructuring, or other company change, or (iii) to our subsidiaries or affiliates only if necessary for business and operational purposes.
We reserve the right to use and share aggregated, anonymous data, which does not include any personal data, about our Service’s users as a group for any legal business purpose, such as analyzing usage trends and seeking compatible advertisers and customers.
If we must disclose your personal data in order to comply with official investigations or legal proceedings initiated by governmental and/or law enforcement officials, we may not be able to ensure that such recipients of your personal data will maintain the privacy or security of your personal data.
Our Commitment to Data Security
All data collected, stored, and processed are securely managed on Google Cloud servers.
To prevent unauthorized access, to maintain the accuracy of your personal data, and to ensure that you’re in control of your personal data, we have put in place appropriate physical, technical, and administrative controls to safeguard and secure the personal data we process.
All payments and payment data submitted on our site is handled through Stripe, Apply Pay, Google Pay, Paypal or Amazon payments. No such payment data is retained within our computer systems.
Our Commitment Children's Privacy
You must be over 13 years old to use Gwiz.
Protecting the privacy of the young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or otherwise process personal data about anyone we actually know is under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
Erasing, Accessing, Changing, or Updating Your Personal Data
You may ask to erase, download, and change the data Gwiz collects.
If we process your personal data, your Gwiz profile settings enable you to:
• update and correct your personal data;
• delete all your personal data that we process on your behalf (by cancelling your account); and
• restrict the processing of your personal data by pausing your account.
Additionally, if we process your personal data, you may have the right to ask that we limit our processing of your personal data, and you may have the right to object to our processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to have your personal data exported from the Gwiz Service in a commonly-used, machine-readable format. To exercise such rights, where applicable, please contact us using the information in the How to Contact Us section of this privacy policy.
If you reside in California, you may have legal rights with respect to your personal data, including those set forth under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California consumers the right to request to know more details about the specific pieces of personal information we collect, including how we use and disclose this information( we only use your information to filter your email), to delete their personal information (this happens automatically when you cancel your Gwiz account), to opt out of any “sales” that may be occurring (we do not sell your personal data in any manner, even in the broad definition of the CCPA) and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. California consumers may make a request pursuant to their rights under the CCPA by contacting us at [email protected].
Who Owns Your Data?
You own your data.
You own the data associated with your account.
When you cancel your Gwiz membership, we not only securely delete all data on our servers associated with your mail account but we also delete any labels or flags we might have created - so not only will we no longer have any of your data on our servers, but also your email inbox will look exactly like it did before you signed up with us.
If for any reason, Gwiz, Inc. decides to discontinue the Gwiz Service, all users will be contacted by email and their account data will be securely deleted from our servers in a timely manner.
