13. Calendar Data Access and Use

Goodtimes integrates with Outlook and Google Calendar to provide scheduling, availability insights, and event management features. When you choose to connect your Google account, Goodtimes may request permission to access certain Google Calendar data. This access is always optional and requires your explicit consent through Google’s OAuth consent screen.

Types of Google Calendar Data We Access. Depending on the permissions you grant, Goodtimes may access:

  • Calendar lists associated with your Google account;
  • Event details, including event titles, times, locations, attendee lists, and availability;
  • Calendar metadata such as time zones and calendar settings.

If you grant write permissions, Goodtimes may also:

  • Create new events on your behalf;
  • Edit events that you explicitly choose to modify;
  • Delete events that you explicitly choose to remove.

Goodtimes does not access or store the content of emails, contacts, Google Drive files, or any other Google data outside of Calendar.

How We Use Google Calendar Data. Goodtimes uses your Google Calendar data solely to:

  • Display your availability within the Goodtimes App;
  • Suggest optimal times for plans and events;
  • Allow you to create, edit, or delete events when you choose to do so;
  • Sync Goodtimes‑created events to your Google Calendar;
  • Help you manage scheduling conflicts;
  • Improve the accuracy of time‑alignment features between you and your friends;
  • Help participating businesses and clubs using Goodtimes manage scheduling and attendance.

Goodtimes does not use Google Calendar data for:

  • Advertising;
  • Marketing;
  • Profiling;
  • Selling or sharing with third parties;
  • Any purpose unrelated to scheduling functionality.

How We Store and Protect Google Calendar Data.

  • Goodtimes stores only the minimum data required to provide the service. In most cases, Goodtimes processes your calendar data in real time and does not permanently store event details unless necessary for core functionality (e.g., syncing Goodtimes‑created events).
  • Any stored data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry‑standard security practices.
  • Goodtimes does not store your Google password. Authentication is handled exclusively through Google’s OAuth system.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Any changes we make will become effective when we post a modified version to https://www.goodtimesapp.co. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
