Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 10, 2025
Introduction
PopMe ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service that connects your email accounts to WhatsApp for instant notifications.
Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and WhatsApp phone number to provide our service.
Email Access
To provide our service, we require access to your email account. We collect and process email metadata (sender, subject, date, time) and content to determine which emails should trigger WhatsApp notifications based on your preferences. We use secure OAuth authentication and never store your email password.
WhatsApp Integration
We collect your WhatsApp phone number and use the WhatsApp Business API to send you email notifications. We do not access your WhatsApp messages or contacts.
Usage Data
We automatically collect information about how you interact with our service, including notification preferences, filter settings, and service usage patterns to improve our service.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain our email-to-WhatsApp notification service
- To process and filter your emails according to your preferences
- To send you WhatsApp notifications about important emails
- To improve and optimize our service performance
- To communicate with you about service updates and support
- To detect and prevent fraud or abuse of our service
Data Storage and Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest. Email content is processed in real-time and temporarily cached only as necessary to deliver notifications. We retain your account information and preferences for as long as your account is active.
While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
Third-Party Services
Our service integrates with third-party platforms:
- Email Providers: We connect to your email service (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) using their official APIs
- WhatsApp Business API: We use Meta's WhatsApp Business API to send notifications
- Cloud Infrastructure: We use secure cloud hosting providers to operate our service
These third parties have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them.
Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to:
- Access, update, or delete your account information at any time
- Revoke email access permissions through your email provider's settings
- Disconnect your WhatsApp number from our service
- Adjust notification preferences and filters
- Request a copy of your data
- Delete your account and all associated data
Data Retention
We retain your account information and preferences while your account is active. Email content is processed in real-time and not permanently stored. When you delete your account, we remove all your personal data within 30 days, except where we're required to retain it for legal compliance.
Children's Privacy
Our service is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
