<p>First of all, FairEmails main goal is to help you protect your privacy. What follows is a complete overview of all the data that <strong>can be</strong> sent to the internet, which in the end is always your choice and therefore optional (except of course connecting to the email server).</p>
<p>Except for error reports (disabled by default), the app does not send any data to the developer. Error reports will automatically be deleted after one month, or earlier upon request.</p>
<p>Data will <strong>never</strong> be sold or shared in any way.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>The <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/datasafety?id=eu.faircode.email">data safety</a> in the Play Store says:</p>
<p><em>The developer says this app doesnt share user data with other companies or organizations.</em>”.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there is no way to say that the app doesnt share data with the developer. Except for error reporting (explicitly opt-in) <strong>no data will be shared with the developer</strong>. It is important to note that collecting data on the device isnt synonymous with sending data off the device!</p>
<p><br /></p>
<h3 id="overview">Overview</h3>
