Removing Boomerang from Gmail and Google Chrome

Save money and replace your paid subscription for Boomerang with the same features using "Schedule Send" in Gmail which is free and protected by U-M. You should remove your Boomerang account because it does not have a University of Michigan Data Protection Agreement (DPA). The DPA is required whenever a service provider will collect, process, or maintain institutional data.
