YouniqMail's main reason why this application exists is to help you protect your privacy. What follows is a complete overview of all the data that will be stored on the device and that can be sent to the internet. The latter is in the end always your choice and therefore optional.

There are no ads in the application.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory data protection authority, please see here for a list.
It is important to note that collecting data on the device isn't synonymous with sending data off the device!

A. General information on data processing
I. Scope of personal data processing
This privacy policy / data protection declaration applies to the desktop application YouniqMail.
The data processor only processes personal data insofar as absolutely required for providing a functioning email client as well as the explicitly requested services. Users' personal data is usually only processed if required for fulfilling contractual or legal obligations or with the user's consent.
II Purpose of data processing
The purpose of any data processed is to provide you with the service requested. The application by default exclusively processes data that is necessary for the proper functioning of the application and its intended purpose of being an email client.
III. Data storage and data deletion
By default, all data (both personal and non-personal) remains on the data subject's Android device for as long as not explicitly sent or shared by the data subject. The data stored on the data subject's device can be deleted by the data subject at any time.
IV. Sub-processors
The services of all sub-processors are disabled by default. The data subject's data is sent to and processed by sub-processors if and only if explicitly enabled or requested by the data subject.

VII. Legal basis
YouniqMail is fully GDPR compliant. The legal basis for any data processing is Art. 6 (1) a - c GDPR.
IV. Legal basis
Any support requests are sent voluntarily by the data subject, including any personal data that might be attached. As such, the explicit consent as outlined in Art. 6 (1) a GDPR forms the legal basis for processing.
