mail-snooze: Privacy Policy

How the mail-snooze tool uses Gmail data.

mail-snooze is a personal tool. I wrote it for my own Mac, and I am its only user. It signs in only to my own Gmail accounts. It is not offered to anyone else.

What it does with Gmail data

  • It searches my Gmail for one message at a time, by its Message-ID, to see whether Gmail still lists a snoozed message in the Inbox.
  • If it does, the tool removes the Inbox label from that one message.
  • It does not read message bodies, send mail, or delete mail.
  • The sign-in tokens stay on my own Mac, in a file only my user account can read. No Gmail data is sent to any server other than Google’s.
  • No data is shared with, sold to, or used by anyone else, and none of it is used for advertising or to train AI models.

The tool’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
