When you install Streak, Google asks you to grant a set of permissions before you can get started.
Here's what each permission actually does:
Gmail — Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email
Streak links email threads to boxes in your pipeline and shares them with your team. This permission also lets you send emails and Mail Merges from within Streak. Streak does not delete your emails.
Google Drive — See, edit, create, and delete all of your files
Streak lets you attach Drive files to boxes by selecting them from a Google Picker. Streak creates a shortcut link to the file — the file stays exactly where it is in your Drive. Streak does not delete your Drive files.
Google Contacts — See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts
Streak lets you link Streak contacts to Google Contacts to avoid duplicating data across both places. Streak does not delete your contacts.
Google Calendar — See, edit, share, and permanently delete all calendars you can access
Streak tasks sync to a dedicated Streak calendar so your to-dos show up alongside your other events. Streak does not delete your calendars or events.
Personal info — See your personal info, including any info you've made publicly available
Streak uses your name and profile photo to show your teammates who's assigned to a box or task.
Account email — See your primary Google Account email address
Streak uses your email address to identify your account and connect it to your workspace.
Google identity — Associate you with your personal info on Google
This is a standard authentication scope that links your Google identity to your Streak account when you sign in.
Streak has no feature that deletes your Gmail messages, Google Drive files, Google contacts, or Google calendar events. The "delete" language comes from Google's permission system - Google bundles it into the scopes apps needed to enable features like email sharing and file attachment in Streak.
Want to remove Streak's access? You can revoke access at any time in your Google Account settings.
