6.5 Google User Data Deletion and Revocation
We do not store Gmail message content, metadata, labels, or OAuth tokens on our servers for the optional Gmail email cleaning feature. Because Gmail data is accessed directly from your Device through Google APIs, there is generally no server-side Gmail data for us to delete.
You may revoke the Application’s access to your Google account at any time through your Google Account permissions page. You may also remove local app data by using the Application settings, your device settings, or by uninstalling the Application.
If you contact us at feedback@waterbitlimited.com, we can assist with privacy questions and delete any personal information that we actually maintain, if any, subject to legal, security, fraud-prevention, or dispute-resolution requirements.
