Why Owl VIP requests Gmail access
-
Owl VIP requests Gmail metadata to detect new incoming emails and show notifications with sender + subject.
-
If you enable Email Snippet in settings, Owl VIP requests Gmail read-only access to display the snippet text in the notification.
-
Owl VIP is read-only and does not send, delete, modify, label, or move emails.
-
You can disable snippets at any time and revoke access in your Google Account.
-
Owl VIP doesn’t store your email content on our servers.
Gmail data is used only to generate the notifications you configure in the app.
