It is possible to see unknown login of email and lot of spam mails sent from unknown third part servers because this keyboard is tracking your email, location,network type, screen size, Android Version and build as well as device model.

Just imagine you login into email account to make purchase and the information you type is through GO keyboard therefore vital information of yours can stolen without noticing. Even if you modify your smartphone by erasing some information still data can be tracked if GO keyboard is used.

Someone else in remote areas can identify your cell phone location through the data you type because the method used to fetch your smartphone info is through sending executable code. 

Go Keyboard was not respecting its privacy policy and google privacy policy as well. Google wants application developer to be transparent on how to handle user data like information provided by user and on top of that if the app handles personal or sensitive user data app may need to comply with addition restrictions or procedures if required by applicable law.
