Q: Are you GDPR compliant?

A: We comply with GDPR for our European users. 


How we comply:

  • You may request your data to be deleted or delivered to you any time.
  • We store and manage all data securely and follow best practises. Sign in is directly with the email provider (Office 365 or Gmail) and your password is not seen or stored by Speaking Email CarPlay. Email is downloaded directly from the email provider using their latest APIs over HTTPS. The email data is stored on your device and is encrypted during storage and in transit.  
  • We request and store only the personal information (PII) that we need to operate your account. This is your name and email address. 
  • For analytics and error logging we may also include your IP address, geolocation, and fragments of email content which may be immediately proceeding an error which is logged.
