Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

Introduction

At RyzeMail, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our native macOS Gmail client application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience using our app.

🔒 RyzeMail is designed with privacy at its core. We do not collect, store, or have access to your emails or personal data.

Information We Do Not Collect

RyzeMail is a native macOS application that connects directly to Gmail's servers. We want to be clear about what we do NOT collect:

  • We do not read, store, or access your emails
  • We do not collect your Gmail credentials or passwords
  • We do not track your email activity or communications
  • We do not store your contacts or address book
  • We do not collect personal information from your emails
  • We do not share any data with third parties

How RyzeMail Works

RyzeMail uses Google's official OAuth 2.0 authentication to securely connect to your Gmail account. This means:

  • Your login credentials are handled directly by Google
  • RyzeMail never sees or stores your password
  • All communication happens directly between your Mac and Gmail's servers
  • You can revoke RyzeMail's access at any time through your Google account settings

Data Storage

All your email data remains stored on Google's servers and is cached locally on your Mac for performance purposes. This local cache:

  • Stays entirely on your device
  • Is never transmitted to our servers
  • Can be cleared by removing the app
  • Is protected by your Mac's security features

Analytics and Crash Reports

RyzeMail may collect anonymous crash reports and basic usage analytics through Apple's built-in mechanisms to help us improve the app. This data:

  • Contains no personal information or email content
  • Is fully anonymized and aggregated
  • Helps us identify and fix bugs
  • Can be disabled in your Mac's privacy settings

Third-Party Services

RyzeMail connects to Google's Gmail service. Your use of Gmail is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We encourage you to review Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.

Children's Privacy

RyzeMail is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

You have the right to:

  • Revoke RyzeMail's access to your Gmail account at any time
