Gmail API, Directory API, Workspace API, and Calendar API user data: To provide the Notion Mail Services to you: (a) we receive and send your email message content through the Gmail API; (b) we receive and process your contact and reply suggestions through the Directory API; (c) we receive your workspace member contact data through the Workspace API; and (d) receive your event response data (e.g. yes, no, maybe) through the Calendar API. All of this data from Google is processed to provide the requested Notion Mail functionality to you. Notion only processes Workspace API user data to provide the Notion Mail Services. We do not process Workspace API user data to develop, improve, or train generalized AI and/or ML models. Notion Mail's use of the Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
