At Cadence Calendar, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your data, including how we handle Google user data in compliance with OAuth requirements.

1. Introduction

Cadence Calendar is designed for teachers, students, and service providers to streamline scheduling, payments, and communication. This policy outlines our data collection, usage, retention, and protection measures to ensure compliance with industry standards and Google’s OAuth requirements.

2. Information We Collect

  • Google User Data (OAuth): If you sign in with Google, we access only your basic profile information (name, email) and calendar events (if granted permission).
  • Account Information: Login credentials, preferences, and subscription details.
  • Payment Information: Securely processed billing details and transactions (via Stripe).
  • Usage Data: Platform interactions, device information, and logs.
  • Communication Data: Messages exchanged within the platform and support inquiries.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide scheduling, invoicing, and payment processing features.
  • To sync Google Calendar events (if authorized by the user).
  • To send transactional emails related to appointments and payments.
  • To analyze usage data to improve platform functionality and user experience.
  • To comply with legal and security requirements.

4. Sharing and Disclosure of Data

We do not sell Google user data or personal information. However, we may share data in the following circumstances:

  • Google OAuth Services: If you grant permissions, we integrate with Google Calendar to sync events. This data is stored securely and not shared.
  • Service Providers: Third-party vendors for hosting, authentication, payment processing (Stripe), and analytics.
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose data if required by law or government request.

5. Security and Protection of Your Data

We implement industry-standard security measures, including:

  • Encryption of sensitive information.
  • Secure authentication and OAuth-based login via Google.
  • Strict access controls to prevent unauthorized access.

6. Data Retention and Deletion Policy

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for service delivery and legal compliance. Once retention is no longer required, data is securely deleted.

  • Google user data is stored only while the user is active.
  • Users can request account deletion via their profile settings or by contacting support.
  • Google Calendar data access is revoked immediately if the user disconnects Google from their account.

7. How We Use Google User Data (OAuth Compliance)

Cadence Calendar uses Google OAuth to provide enhanced scheduling functionality. Our access to Google user data is limited to:

  • **Google Calendar Integration:** If authorized, we sync user calendar events to schedule lessons and appointments.
  • **Google Sign-In:** We use Google OAuth for authentication to streamline account creation and login.

We do not use Google user data for targeted advertising, resale, or unauthorized data processing.
