Importantly, the app does not engage in selling, sharing, or utilizing user data for advertising purposes.

3. Use of Data

The data collected from users within the Mail Merge application serves a singular and defined purpose, specifically to facilitate the functioning of the mail merge features offered by the application. This means that any information gathered is utilized exclusively to enhance and enable the specified functionalities related to the mail merge process. There is a clear commitment to restricting the use of this data solely to activities directly associated with the intended features of the Mail Merge application.

Importantly, the app maintains a strict policy regarding the use of collected data. Beyond its role in supporting the mail merge functionalities, the data is not accessed, utilized, or shared for any other purposes.

The commitment to security extends to the storage infrastructure employed, with all user data stored in a highly secure environment. This includes robust safeguards against potential vulnerabilities that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of user information.

5. Transparency and Consent

Transparency is a cornerstone of our approach to data collection within the Mail Merge application. We are committed to providing users with a clear understanding of the types of data we collect and the specific reasons behind this collection. This transparency is fundamental to building trust with our user community, as it ensures that individuals have a comprehensive awareness of how their information is utilized within the application.

In our commitment to openness, users are proactively informed about the entire data collection process. This means that, from the outset, users receive detailed information about what categories of data the Mail Merge application may access and the purposes for which this access is necessary. This proactive communication allows users to make informed decisions about their data and ensures that they are aware of the scope and implications of the data collection within the application.

Furthermore, we prioritize obtaining explicit consent from users before any access to Google Sheets data occurs. This consent is sought as part of the onboarding process or whenever there are updates to the data collection practices. Obtaining explicit consent serves as a crucial step in respecting user autonomy and ensuring that individuals have the opportunity to make informed choices about the use of their data within the Mail Merge application. This commitment to transparency and explicit consent reflects our dedication to ethical and responsible data practices, empowering users to maintain control over their personal information.

6. User Control

Empowering users with control over their data is a fundamental principle of our commitment to privacy within the Mail Merge application. Users have the capability to manage their data at their convenience, maintaining control and ownership throughout their interaction with the app. This control extends to the ability to delete their data whenever they choose, providing a straightforward and accessible means for users to manage their personal information.

Furthermore, the Mail Merge application respects the importance of user autonomy by allowing them to revoke app permissions directly via their Google Account settings. This additional layer of control ensures that users can manage the level of access the app has to their data, aligning with the principle of giving users the tools they need to make informed decisions about their privacy. Whether through the app interface or the Google Account settings, users can confidently exercise their right to control and manage their data within the Mail Merge application.

7. Compliance with Laws

Our commitment to data protection is underscored by strict adherence to all applicable laws and regulations governing the handling of user data within the Mail Merge application. This includes compliance with data protection frameworks and privacy laws to ensure that user information is handled ethically, responsibly, and in accordance with legal standards.

In the event of legal requests for user data, we prioritize a meticulous and thorough review process. Our approach is to provide information only as mandated by law, following a careful examination of the legal validity and relevance of the request. This stringent review is conducted to safeguard user privacy and ensure that any disclosure of information is in strict compliance with the law. By following this approach, we aim to strike a balance between legal obligations and the protection of user rights and privacy within the Mail Merge application.
