Connecting Gmail is optional and requires your permission. BoomBox uses a read-only Gmail connection to look for recent messages that appear to be order confirmations, receipts, shipping notices, or tracking updates. The scan runs only when you start it, and you can connect more than one Gmail account.
For messages found by that search, BoomBox may see the sender, subject, date, preview, and message content needed to identify purchase and delivery details. We use that information to extract things like the store, order number, products, prices, tracking number, carrier, and delivery notes. Results first go into a review queue; nothing becomes an order or box until you approve it.
BoomBox cannot send email, edit messages, delete messages, or change your Gmail settings through this connection. It does not need access to your contacts, calendar, Drive, or other Google products. Gmail access is read-only, and you can disconnect any account from BoomBox at any time. Disconnecting stops future scans; it does not automatically delete information you already imported, which you can review or remove from BoomBox.
