How fine grained are the permissions? Can your snoozing app operate with a sufficiently restrictive set of permissions that you are prevented from reading my email?
- alooPotato 12y agoUnfortunately to snooze an email we need to be able to read the message and reinsert it. That requires full read/write permission. If we instead just replied to the thread, we could probably get away with just read permissions.
- aschwa1 12y agoIs it possible to have full read/write permission but no communication with the outside world? Presumably, this would involve denying the ability to send emails and denying various forms of network access.
- alooPotato 12y agoThe API that launched today is just a backend API, so by definition your email data is accessible to the application on their servers. You may be confusing how Streak works, where we have a browser extension that runs inside your browser, but our backend is the one doing the snoozing.
- VogonWorkEthic 12y agoYour email is the least creepy thing Streak has access to. There's also a feature that tells the user when an email they've sent has been read.
- zacharycohn 12y agoYou mean "read receipts" which have been around for decades?

- the-dude 12y agoAbout 6 months ago I helped out a woman with some computer issues. She is/was a bit paranoid, coming out of an abusive relationship. I didn't think much of it, until I noticed access to her Gmail from Japan I seem to recall ( we are in Western Europe ). Streak was installed into her account. I have no idea what someone can do who has access to the Streak account. I just removed the permissions.
