7. GMAIL MAILBOX SYNCHRONISATION
Through our Platform, Users can synchronise their Gmail account with the Platform's messaging functionality, in order to contact KOLs from their own Gmail address.
In the event of Gmail email synchronisation, the email interface accessible on the Platform will be a replica of the User's Gmail account. Thus, the User will be able to use his/her Gmail account via the Platform in order to facilitate communications between KOLs and Customers. All emails will remain accessible on the User's Gmail account.
In this case, Kolsquare does not transfer the data of Users accessible and stored in their Gmail accounts to its own servers, and does not transfer or sell the Data of Users to third parties, (including for advertising or marketing purposes). Users' Gmail Data will only be used to authenticate Users and allow them to send emails.
Kolsquare respects the confidentiality of emails sent via the Platform and Kolsquare and its employees will not disclose or read the content of these emails, except with the permission of Users to resolve technical incidents in particular.
If the Users do not synchronise their Gmail account with the Platform, Kolsquare will not have access to the Users' mailbox.
