4A. Google User Data & Google Calendar
If you choose to connect a Google Calendar to WOWCall, we access it only with your explicit consent through Google's OAuth consent screen. This section describes that data in detail.
- What we access: Your Google account email address (shown in the Service so you can see which account is connected), your calendar's free/busy information, and your calendar events. We request the following Google API scopes:
openid,email,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events, andhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.freebusy. - Free/busy information: Used to hide time slots on which you are already busy, so that callers and online booking pages are only offered times you are available.
- Calendar events we read: For events within a window of about 180 days before and after today, we copy the event title, start and end time, status, and the first attendee's email address into your WOWCall calendar, so that these events block your schedule and appear in your dashboard. Imported events are read-only in WOWCall. They are not offered to callers and are not used in customer lookups by our AI voice agents.
- Events we create or change: When a booking is made, rescheduled, or cancelled in WOWCall, we create, update, or delete the matching event in your Google Calendar. The event includes the customer's name, the service, and, where provided, the customer's email address and phone number.
- Your controls: You can disconnect Google Calendar at any time from your WOWCall settings.
- How we use it: We use Google user data only to provide and improve the calendar features you request in WOWCall: checking your availability, showing your calendar, and creating, updating, and cancelling bookings. We do not use it for any other purpose.
- What we do not do: We do not sell Google user data. We do not use it for advertising, marketing, or profiling. We do not use it to develop, improve, or train generative AI or machine learning models. We do not allow humans to read it unless you give us consent, it is necessary for security purposes or to investigate abuse, or it is required by law. We do not transfer it to others except as necessary to provide the features above (for example, our cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, who process it on our behalf under contract), to comply with law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with notice to you.
- Security and storage: Google access and refresh tokens are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and are used only to access your calendar on your behalf.
- Disconnecting and deletion: When you disconnect Google Calendar, we revoke our access token with Google, stop calendar change notifications, stop all syncing, and delete the events we imported from your calendar. Events we created in your Google Calendar remain in your calendar, which you control. You can also revoke WOWCall's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. To ask us to delete other data we hold, email hello@wowcall.ai.
- Limited Use: WOWCall's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
