Security
-
If using Office 365, Outlook.com, or Gmail account, this is a direct connection to Gmail or Microsoft and does not pass through our servers. Replying to emails is also directly, so no information will pass via our servers. We have no access to this data. Account security is managed by Oauth - this means that your security is directly with Google or Microsoft.
-
If using an Exchange account, this is a direct connection to your server and your emails are downloaded directly to your device, and are not cached or stored on our servers.
-
If using an IMAP/POP account, your emails are parsed on our server. In this case your data may be cached in our servers to provide performance and server-based email parsing. Your data is securely stored, transmitted, and not made available to Speaking Email employees or any third parties. Speaking Email will not use this email storage for any purpose other than caching to provide performant access to you when you are using the app.
-
Speaking Email will collect and store information (including personal information) locally on your phone using local storage. Files will be saved on your phone for this purpose. These files are saved locally only and not sent to Speaking Email servers or any third party.
-
We are concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. We provide physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information we process and maintain. For example, we limit access to this information to authorised employees and contractors who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our Application. Please be aware that, although we endeavour to provide reasonable security for information we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.
-
We are conscientious about accessing, storing and transmitting only the data necessary for the functionality we provide. There are four cases where your information is sent to cloud servers:
1. IMAP acounts (for these accounts, all email content and your password is stored on our cloud servers). This does not apply to Gmail, Outlook.com or Office 365 accounts.
2. Attachments (an opt-in optional feature where attachments are sent to our server to extract text)
3. Account registration (your name and email address are used to identify yourself as a user of our service)
4. Crash reporting (we have automated crash logging which includes logs of actions happening just before an error, which may include some fragments of personal information)
