Email Integration Data and Permissions

Updated by Dan

When integrating your GRIN account with Gmail or Microsoft Outlook, you allow GRIN to have certain access and permissions to your email provider. These permissions do not grant GRIN full access to your email inbox. Instead, GRIN only has permission to do the following:

  • Compose, attach files to, and send emails in your provider if you do the same in your GRIN Inbox.

  • Read your provider’s emails’ subject lines, previews, full emails, and threads (including attachments) only if the sender’s email address matches one of your saved creators’ email addresses in GRIN.

  • Store your provider’s emails’ subject lines and previews.

  • Store full emails only if the email was originally composed in your GRIN Inbox.

  • Read your provider’s folders and labels.

  • Move your provider’s emails in and out of folders and labels only if you move the corresponding email in your GRIN Inbox.

  • Star or unstar a message or thread in your provider only if you do the same in your GRIN Inbox and the email is from a creator.

  • Be notified of new emails to sync to your GRIN Inbox only if the sender’s email address matches one of your saved creators’ email addresses in GRIN.

  • If you’ve integrated with Gmail, store and track if an email has been opened, read, or clicked.
