Parrott Mail Signals

A private email-notification utility from Parrott Labs

What it does

Parrott Mail Signals connects to Parrott Labs' own Gmail account and watches a single Gmail label that holds selected business notification emails. When a new notification arrives, it checks that the email genuinely came from the sender it claims, and records a short reminder for Parrott Labs, so that important notifications are never missed.

Who uses it

Only Parrott Labs, with its own Google account. It is not offered to the public, and no one outside Parrott Labs connects their Google account to it.

The Google permission it uses

One read-only permission: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.metadata, which Google describes as "View your email message metadata such as labels and headers, but not the email body."

• It reads label names and message headers only: the sender, subject, date, message identifier and Google's own authentication result.
• It cannot read the body of any email or open any attachment.
• It cannot send, change, label, move or delete email.
• It reads only messages under its own label, not the rest of the mailbox.

Your data

Parrott Mail Signals keeps the minimum it needs for a limited time, never sells or shares Google user data, and never uses it for advertising or to train AI models. Subject lines are erased after 30 days and all records after 180 days. The privacy policy sets out exactly what is read, why, how long it is kept and how to remove access.
