KW Mail Delivery – Google User Data
KildareWeb develops the KW Mail Delivery WordPress plugin, which allows a WordPress website to send transactional and administrative email using an authorised Google account.
Google Data Accessed
When Google/Gmail is selected as the mail delivery method, KW Mail Delivery uses Google’s OAuth 2.0 authentication system and Gmail API.
The plugin accesses only the Google account information and authorisation necessary to authenticate the connected account and send email through the Gmail API.
KW Mail Delivery does not request access to read, search, modify or delete messages in the user’s Gmail mailbox.
Google OAuth Permission
KW Mail Delivery requests the following Google OAuth scope:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send
This permission allows KW Mail Delivery to send email on behalf of the Google account expressly authorised by the user.
The plugin does not request general Gmail mailbox access.
Purpose of Google Account Access
Google account access is used solely to allow a WordPress website to send email generated by that website through the Gmail API.
Examples may include:
- WordPress administrative notifications;
- password reset and account emails;
- contact form notifications;
- membership and user notifications;
- ecommerce transactional emails; and
- other transactional or administrative email generated by the WordPress website.
KW Mail Delivery is an email delivery mechanism. It does not provide KildareWeb or the website administrator with access to read or analyse the contents of the connected user’s Gmail mailbox.
OAuth Credentials and Tokens
To establish and maintain an authorised connection with Google, KW Mail Delivery may store information required for OAuth authentication, including:
- the Google OAuth Client ID;
- the Google OAuth Client Secret, where applicable;
- an OAuth access token;
- an OAuth refresh token; and
- information relating to the authorised Google account and connection status.
These credentials are used only to establish and maintain the connection between the WordPress website and Google’s services.
