In any case, and with respect to any Google Account information, we will only use that information to access your Google Account when, and for the limited purposes for which, you have given us permission to do so.
To be clear about the terminology we are using, when we use the phrase “Personal Information” in this Policy, we mean information about you that is personally identifiable, like your name, address, e-mail address, billing information, or phone number, as well as other non-public information that is associated with this personal information. When we use the phrase “Anonymous Information” in this Policy, we mean information that is not personally identifiable, or linked to your Personal Information such as aggregated information, general demographic information and IP addresses.

Such sharing is done for message authentication and identity sharing with message recipients.
After message is processed, and transmitted, we strive to delete message data. However we do not guarantee that all message data will be completely deleted and therefore any message data that you send is sent at your own risk.

Data may have a “historical backup” which can be deleted at any time upon request by the user. Please note that only administrators can request and implement data deletion for company accounts. Your phone number, which will be verified via a text message that will be sent to you, will be used for identification purposes as your TM TLGRM username.
TM TLGRM may interact with your phone’s SMS inbox, placing incoming messages in your inbox or reading the contents of the activation SMS sent to you by TM TLGRM. If you choose to sync TM TLGRM with your SMS/MMS messages, TM TLGRM may also access other SMS/MMS information for encryption or server archiving purposes.
