Sends statistical data to several services known for bad privacy policies (Google, Facebook), also there's no way to opt out.Spark hangs on to your emails so that they can offer certain features that other mail clients might not, and of course they state in their privacy policy that they may read through your emails (whether automated or human, who knows) so that they can improve things like auto/quick-response.

If I was using Spark, they would be on Spark's servers.īut yes, other email clients that offer push notifications do typically have to store your login creds and download the emails to their servers, however most at least try to promise that they only download basic metadata for the emails, or that they immediately delete the data as soon as the push notification goes out. My emails, from GMail and FastMail, are not downloaded to Apple's servers when I use the stock apps. They download the emails to their servers, so that they can do some functional things to the mail (to assist with the features they offer). With something like Spark, they actually save your login creds, and they log in on their servers, rather than your email client itself doing the logging in. I believe with most email clients, like the stock iOS and MacOS Mail apps, you're giving those clients themselves authorization to poll for new emails, send emails, etc. This subreddit is not endorsed or sponsored by Apple Inc.
