FairyBill’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Scopes
The app requests Gmail read-only access (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly) so it can:
Search for messages that look like household bills or utility statements.
Optionally read Interac e-Transfer notification mail when you turn on “Sync e-Transfer” in Settings.
Limited Use statement
FairyBill uses Gmail data only to provide user-facing features inside the app (bill list, summaries, reminders). Specifically:
No transfer of Gmail data to third parties except as needed to provide the feature (Google’s infrastructure), comply with law, or as part of a merger with notice — and never for unrelated advertising.
No use of Gmail data for serving ads, including retargeting or personalized ads.
No use of Gmail data for unrelated machine-learning model training (general or non-user-facing).
Human access to Gmail content is limited to security, compliance, debugging with consent, or legal requirements — not for routine operations.
Bill extraction runs on the device; we do not operate a cloud inbox copy service.
Storage
OAuth tokens and downloaded bill-related content are stored on your device only.
