What about e-mail clients which allow you to configure multiple accounts at different e-mail providers? Those will be able to access your Gmail data, and also "data from or through third-party servers" in form of receiving or sending e-mail via different mail servers.
- tiernano 4y agoIs it not "proxy" like servers they are talking about? You login and the details are stored on a server which does push notifications and the like... instead of your phone polling or pulling email all the time, the proxy server sends a push to the app to update when new mail arrives... is this what they mean?
- undecisive 4y agoIt certainly includes that, yes. In fact, mobile push notifications is one case that I hadn't even thought of. If you use a third party to perform push notifications, you are "accessing" data through a third party application. (I'm presuming the word "accessing" is used here to mean any use of a third party server, regardless of whether read or write - because the whole idea is pointless if transmitting is not included in the definition) It also includes any email client with a built-in VPN, or potentially any client that can use a VPN (remember, it's at Google's discretion)
