Are Gmail emails read by application developers?

The privacy rules covering all personal communication methods also apply to e-mails. However, an article in the Wall Street Journal reveals a frightening prospect, especially for Gmail users. According to the report, Gmail emails are read by developers.

This permission allows developers of related tools to read their emails both physically and electronically.
