|
### I. Scope of personal data processing
|
|
|
|
This privacy policy / data protection declaration applies to the Android app FairEmail.
|
|
|
|
The data processor only processes personal data insofar as absolutely required for providing a functioning email client as well as the explicitly requested services.
|
|
Users' personal data is usually only processed if required for fulfilling contractual or legal obligations or with the user's consent.
|
|
|
|
### II Purpose of data processing
|
|
|
|
The purpose of any data processed is to provide you with the service requested.
|
|
The app by default exclusively processes data that is necessary for the proper functioning of the app and its intended purpose of being an email client.
|
|
|
|
### III. Data storage and data deletion
|
|
|
|
By default, all data (both personal and non-personal) remains on the data subject's Android device for as long as not explicitly sent or shared by the data subject.
|
|
The data stored on the data subject's device can be deleted by the data subject at any time.
|
|
|
|
### IV. Sub-processors
|
|
|
|
The services of all sub-processors are disabled by default.
|
|
The data subject's data is sent to and processed by sub-processors if and only if explicitly enabled or requested by the data subject.
|
|
|
|
The sub-processors are:
|
|
|
|
* [ipinfo.io](https://ipinfo.io/) – [Privacy policy](https://ipinfo.io/privacy-policy)

* [LanguageTool](https://languagetool.org/) – [Privacy policy](https://languagetool.org/legal/privacy)
|
|
|
|
### V. Permissions
|
|
|
|
The app only requests permissions that are necessary for the expected behavior of an email app.
|
|
For more information on permissions, see [this FAQ](https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq1).
|
|
|
|
### VI. Logging
|
|
|
|
The app does not send any log entries to the data processor by default.
|
|
The error reporting system utilizes Bugsnag and is disabled by default.
|
|
See [this FAQ](https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq104) for more information.
|
|
|
|
### VII. Legal basis
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## B. Support requests
|
|
|
|
### I. Description and scope of data processing
|
|
|
|
The data subject may contact the data processor to request support through channels offered by the data processor.
|
|
When the data subject contacts the data processor, any provided personal data is stored by the data controller.
|
|
|
|
### II. Purpose of data processing
|
|
|
|
The personal data is exclusively processed for finding a specific solution to support queries whilst recording and/or processing them.
|
|
It is essential in this respect for the data controller to be able to contact the person requesting support.
|
|
|
|
### III. Sub-processors
|
|
|
|
The data processor utilizes the services of the following sub-processors in order to process support requests:
|
|
|
|
* Google LLC, if support request sent via email – [Privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en)
|
|
* Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, if support request sent via the contact form – [Privacy policy](https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/)
|
|
|
|
### IV. Legal basis
|
|
|
|
Any support requests are sent voluntarily by the data subject, including any personal data that might be attached.
|
|
As such, the explicit consent as outlined in Art. 6 (1) a GDPR forms the legal basis for processing.
