Chris Ward Lab's Reporting Automation Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 7, 2025
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Chris Ward Lab's Reporting Automation tool collects, uses, and shares information when the Reporting Automation tool (referred to as "the Service") is used, which utilizes the Google API to send automated emails on your behalf.
Information Collected
The following information may be collected when using the Service:
Information provided:
Your name and email address (for account setup and identification)
Recipient names and email addresses (for sending automated emails through your account)
Email content and metadata (subject lines, timestamps, attachments, etc.)
Other information provided when using the Service.
Information collected automatically through Google API:
The Google API is utilized to send emails from your designated Gmail account.
The Service will access the necessary data (your Gmail account credentials and ability to send emails) to perform this task.
The Service does not access, read, or modify any other Gmail content or data beyond sending the specific emails you authorize.
Limited data related to your use of the Google API, such as API calls and usage patterns, may be collected for internal monitoring and service improvement.
How Information is Used
The collected information is used to:
Provide the core functionality of the Service, including sending automated emails on your behalf.
Improve the Service and develop new features.
Communicate with you about the Service, updates, and support.
Ensure the security and stability of the Service and prevent fraud.
How Information is Shared
Personal information is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
Non-personally identifiable information may be shared publicly and with partners (e.g., developers, service providers) for auditing and service maintenance purposes.
Google API and Data Privacy
The Google API Services User Data Policy is complied with, which governs how data from Google API Services is accessed and used.
Only the minimum necessary permissions to provide the Service's functionality are requested.
Restricted scopes data (email data) is used only for prominent, user-facing features and not for advertising purposes.
You will be notified and your consent will be obtained before accessing or using any user data in ways not originally disclosed in this policy.
Data Security
Reasonable measures are taken to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no system guarantees absolute security, and providing personal information is done at your own risk.
Your Privacy Rights
You have the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal data.
You can manage third-party apps and sites that have access to your Google Account data.
User help documentation is provided, explaining how to manage and delete your data from the Service.
