10. Google API Services Compliance

Overview

Heyhomie is a WhatsApp-based booking chatbot that helps sellers (our customers) share availability calendars via Google Sheets and schedule appointments. We use Google Sign-In for authentication and only access Google data that you explicitly authorize. This section explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it, in accordance with Google's API Services User Data Policy. We clearly disclose all uses of Google user data, and we limit our access strictly to the data needed for the booking service.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share any Google user data or customer data with third parties. The only entities with access to your Google Sheets data are you and your Google account. We do not send your Google data to any external services, advertisers, or AI platforms. Any data written to your Google Sheets (such as a booked appointment) remains under your control. We will only share information if required by law or in response to a valid legal request.

Limited Use Commitment: In line with Google's policies, we use all Google user data solely to provide and improve heyhomie's scheduling features. We do not use Google data for advertising, analytics beyond our service, or any purpose not described here. For example, we do not use your Sheets content to train any algorithms or to build user profiles for marketing. Our use of Google data is transparent and limited to the functionalities you see in our app.

Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect all data, including Google user data:

Data Retention

Overall, our data retention practices comply with Google's Limited Use requirements. If you have any questions about data retention, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below.

Use of AI and Automated Processing

We do not use any artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) services on your Google user data. In particular:

Your Role as Data Controller

As a heyhomie user (seller), you act as the primary data controller of the personal data of your customers and leads. In other words, you decide what customer information is collected and input into the system, and you are responsible for any consents you obtain from them. heyhomie (the platform) acts only as a data processor in providing the scheduling service. We do not claim ownership or control over your customers' personal data. You retain full control: you can view, edit, or delete any customer/lead information through the app, and we do not have independent access to it.

Google OAuth and API Scopes

We strictly follow Google's guidance to use minimum necessary permissions. We authenticate users via Google Sign-In (OAuth) and request only the scopes needed for our features. Specifically, we use the drive.file scope, which is a limited Google Drive scope that lets us see and manage only the files the user explicitly selects. We do not request any broad or sensitive scopes like full Drive access or general Sheets scopes. This approach gives you greater control: you choose which specific sheet to share with us, and Google clearly shows that consent during the OAuth flow.

Our OAuth consent screen clearly identifies the heyhomie app name and logo, and it links to this privacy policy as required by Google's verification process. We ensure that the consent screen lists exactly the data we access and why, so that you can make an informed choice (for example, "View and manage the Google Drive files you have opened or created with this app").
