Veeam software allows an end-user to use Google Mail as an alternative SMTP server to send email alerts and notifications to Veeam. In this event, Veeam software may use Google OAuth 2.0, which makes API authorization by an end-user possible without Veeam receiving end-user access data (for example, by the end-user entering his Google credentials directly into the Google authorization form). Relevant information, including the primary email address and access token are stored locally within the Veeam software installation folder on the end-user premises.
Information on the data collected by Google and how Google handles it can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
