How Scrappy Kin uses Gmail permission
Scrappy Kin asks for Gmail permission for one narrow reason: to help you send broker opt-out emails from your own account. The full Gmail data flow lives in the Privacy Policy.
What this permission allows:
- send the batch of opt-out emails you review and choose to send
- use your Gmail account as the sender
- store the Gmail permission locally on your iPhone (never on Scrappy Kin servers)
What it does not allow:
- read your inbox
- browse your messages
- manage your mailbox
- store Gmail data on Scrappy Kin servers
Why we use it:
Many brokers still require email as part of their opt-out process. Sending the request from your own account keeps you in control and avoids handing sensitive personal data to another service.
If you disconnect inside Scrappy Kin, the app asks Google to revoke access and deletes the saved Gmail permission from your iPhone. If you remove access in Google Account settings, Google disables the permission, but Google cannot delete data stored on your iPhone. Scrappy Kin cannot send again after Google disables access unless you reconnect.
