Ensure security and privacy in Gmail

* by Suzanne Frey (Director, Security, Trust and Privacy, Google Cloud)

We provide functionality to applications created by other developers – eg. Integration with Gmail for customer email applications, travel agents and CRM. This gives you options to access and use your e-mail. We continually try to control and evaluate the developers and their applications embedded in Gmail before giving them general access, and we also provide corporate administrators and individuals with transparency and control over how using their data. You can visit Security Check to check which licenses you have licensed to non-Google apps and remove them if you wish. For G Suite users, administrators can control non-Google applications that can access their data, via dedicated spam filters

Security of your data is a priority for us. That's why we want to provide you with detailed information on the rating process and user audits, both for businesses and for individual customers

By giving consumers the choice and protecting them against the applications Malicious or Deceptive [19659005] There is a whole ecosystem and living non-Google applications that gives you the choice and help you get the most out of your ilografias. However, before any application other than Google can access your Gmail messages, it goes through a thorough review process including automatic and manual evaluations of its developer, the evaluation of privacy rules and the home page. , to be sure that it is a totally legitimate application, as well as a test of its functions, so it is also certain that it works as it should.

For to succeed in pbading all this applications not owned by Google must meet two basic requirements:

• Identify with precision: applications should not distort their identity, but be clear about how your data is used. They should not appear as something specific while they are doing something else and they should provide clear and visible information about protecting your privacy.
• Ask only the data needed for their operation: ask only the data they need for their specific function – any other – and leave no doubt as to how they use them.

We check all non-Google apps to make sure they are still meeting our policies and, if they do not, we will abolish them

You Have Control Over Your Data

Transparency and control have always been basic requirements on data protection and privacy issues. We are constantly trying to make sure that these principles are reflected in our products

Before any application that is not owned by Google can access your data, we display an approval page that clearly indicates the type of data it can access. the application and how it can be used

We recommend that you always check the corresponding image before giving access to your data to any application that does not belong to Google

In addition, for many years ur hotel offers data controls, which you can use at any time to manage your information. For example, Security Check shows all non-Google apps that access your data and point to potentially harmful apps, so you can remove them in the past, so you do not have to worry about feel safe. You can also check the permissions you have granted on myaccount.google.com under "Apps with account access".

Providing tools for G Suite administrators

G Suite administrators can control which type of data non-Google application users can access through OAuth applications . This ensures that Gmail users can only access OAuth apps that are not owned by Google after being tested and believed.

Gmail provides security features and high quality information, such as protection that allows us to prevent 99.9% or more from receiving spam and deceptive emails in your inbox. To achieve this, we have implemented automatic email processing – which is now a common practice in the industry and also allows us to provide you with intelligent services such as Smart Reply to help you become more productive [19659005] We treat your email content in order to serve for promotional purposes, and we do not receive any compensatory benefits from the developers to access the API. The main goal of Gmail is to sell its paid email service to businesses as part of G Suite. We show ads in Gmail to consumers, but these ads are not based on the content of users' emails. You can customize the settings of the ads you see at any time

The automatic email processing policy has led to the erroneous conclusion that Google "reads" your emails. To be absolutely clear: no one on Google reads your Gmail except in very specific cases where you request and consent to it or we must do so for security reasons, for example to investigate cases of abuse or misuse. Virus attack

The job of protecting privacy and security is never finished and we are constantly looking for ways to better protect our users. For example, we recently announced that we are now providing even more transparency in your Google Account, more control over our ad settings, and added new OAuth protection as a precaution against malware. We continue to make announcements about how we are improving our levels of protection – stay up-to-date with the latest news in the Security & Safety section of our blog and visit privacy.google.com for more information. about Google's commitment to safety and security. of privacy
