CYPC Members
The members app for the Crawley Young Persons Council.
CYPC Members is a web app used by young people aged 11 to 25 who are members of the Crawley Young Persons Council, a youth council supported by Crawley Borough Council. It is not open to the general public: members sign in with a key given to them by a CYPC organiser. This page explains what the app does, and is readable without signing in.
What members use it for
- Meetings. See what is coming up, say whether you are coming, and add CYPC meetings to your phone's calendar.
- A CYPC email address. Every member gets a [email protected] address with a full mailbox: inbox, folders, junk filtering, attachments and contacts. Organisers can read it, which members are told before they use it, because CYPC has a safeguarding duty to young people.
- Noticeboard and members chat. Announcements from organisers, and a moderated chat between members.
- Reporting a concern. A private route to the safeguarding lead.
- Council documents. Reading, signing and verifying official CYPC paperwork such as the constitution.
- Presentations, notes, polls and posters used to run council business.
Why the app asks for Google permission
One optional feature asks a member for permission to send email through their own Google account. It is switched off unless the member turns it on.
The app requests a single Gmail permission, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send. This lets CYPC Members send a message the member has written and pressed Send on, from their own Gmail address, so the person receiving it sees the member's real address. The app also reads the email address of the connected account (openid, userinfo.email) purely to show the member which account is connected.
The send-only permission does not allow reading, searching, deleting or changing anything in the member's mailbox, and CYPC never sees a Google password. A member can disconnect at any time in the app, which withdraws the permission at Google immediately.
CYPC Members' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The full statement is in the privacy policy.
