Google explains Gmail privacy after controversy

In addition to being able to read emails, Google also gives developers access to details like the recipient's address and time stamps. However, it doesn't appear that any user information has been misused at this time. Google has   published a new blog post  that detailed how common it is for third-party app developers to be able to read   and analyze the contents of a user's Gmail message. The company also reiterates its commitment to vetting those third-party apps and services that have access to sensitive Gmail data.
