I hope that answers your question.

Edit: Just to add more context. The Google Oauth verification team requires that statement in the privacy policy.

So what information “can” be shared with law enforcement agencies?

And which jurisdiction is this service governed in?

I think there is just many ambiguities which do not seem clear to me at all.

I've added edit to explain why that particular statement is in the privacy policy

It's technically not possible from InboxPurge's perspective. As there'd be no email information to share

Just a heads up, you did not update the date of last update at the top of the policy following the changes you made.

I can’t tell whether you’re being cheekily obtuse or missing the point -

If required by law to share that information, what steps would you take to fulfill that legal requirement?

Is the implication that despite you being legally obligated to do so, you would in actuality have no method for sharing said information, and would therefore have nothing to offer law enforcement?

I'm sorry if you felt like I was intentionally missing the point.
