Effective Date: June 14, 2026
Welcome to Monomail. Monomail is an open-source student project designed to provide a distilled and minimalistic email client experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle, use, and protect your data when you use the Monomail application.
Monomail uses the Google OAuth 2.0 API to access your Gmail account. The specific scope requested is:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify
This scope is necessary for the core functionality of the application, which includes:
- Reading your emails to display them in the app.
- Organizing emails (e.g., archiving, deleting, marking as read).
- Sending emails on your behalf.
Monomail operates entirely locally on your device.
- No Third-Party Servers: We do not own, operate, or use any third-party servers to process, store, or transmit your email data.
- Local Storage: All email data, access tokens, and user preferences are stored securely on your local device using Android's Credential Manager and Encrypted DataStore.
- Direct Communication: The app communicates directly between your device and Google's Gmail API servers.
Because Monomail does not collect or transmit your data to any external servers (other than Google's own API), we do not and cannot share, sell, or disclose your personal information or email data to any third parties.
Monomail is an open-source project created by a student for educational purposes. The source code is publicly available for review, ensuring complete transparency regarding how your data is handled.
By using Monomail, you consent to the direct processing of your Gmail data on your local device as described in this Privacy Policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the repository and within the app.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please refer to the project's public repository.
