Does Flashissue read my emails and why do i need to give Gmail permissions?

In order for Flashissue to work correctly, the Flashissue system has programmatic access to your email. This is used to provide the features needed for Flashissue to work. Rest assured that no person is reading your email, rather, Flashissue uses the access to send out your Flashissue emails and provides you a way of creating mailing lists from your contacts. While we may have need to review your Flashissue generated emails to ensure they adhere to our content guidelines (Spam compliance etc) no one can read your regular email you send through Gmail. We do not store copies of any of your non-Flashissue emails and we do not access any of this information.
