Phishing Shield accesses your Gmail messages for the sole purpose of analyzing them for phishing threats. We do not store the content of your emails on our servers. We only store the results of our phishing analysis.

2. How We Use Your Information

The application uses a machine learning model to scan email content for potential phishing threats. This processing happens in real-time and the content is not retained after analysis.

3. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. We do not store your emails or share any of your data with third parties.

4. Your Rights

You can revoke access to your Gmail account at any time through your Google Account settings. You can also request deletion of any analysis data we may have by contacting us.

5. Data Retention

We retain analysis results only for the duration necessary to provide you with the service. No email content is stored beyond the analysis process.

6. Third-Party Services

We use Google's OAuth service for authentication purposes. Please review Google's Privacy Policy to understand how they handle your data.

7. Google Workspace API Data Usage

Important Notice: Our application does not use Google Workspace API data (including Gmail data) to develop, improve, or train generalized AI or ML models.

All data accessed through Google Workspace APIs is used exclusively for the purpose of analyzing potential phishing threats in your inbox in real-time and only for the individual user who granted access. Our phishing detection model is pre-trained on publicly available datasets and does not learn from or retain email content accessed through Gmail APIs.

We adhere to all requirements in Google's API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
