GOOGLE USER DATA

Who is requesting Google user data?

We use Google API Services to allow our apps’ users to authenticate and access our restricted apps’ content.

These are the Android apps that request your Google email data for the sole reason of authentication:

What data are we requesting?

We request only your Gmail email address.

Why are we requesting your Google user data?

In order to allow our users to use our services securely we need some form of authentication, that’s why we choose to request your Gmail address in order to authenticate you in our proxy backend. We do this for the sole reason to protect our infrastructure against abusers.

Your Google email address is being stored in our API servers and the Firebase backends in order to keep your account active and can use our services.

We do not share your Google account with any third party services.
