Hi guys. So I'm wondering, is it safe(privacy wise) to integrate my google account into my GNOME desktop, only giving mail and calendar permissions to it? It's nice to have my calendar events into my top bar. (Please give technical answers)

Thanks for the great answer. So having only mail and calendar doesn't have much of an issue it seems.
