2. Google User Data (Google APIs)

Nudgey AI integrates with Google services using Google OAuth to provide email follow-up features. This section explains what Google data we access, how we use it, what we store, and user controls.

2.1 What Google Data We Access

When you connect a Google account, we may request:

Basic account identity: openid, userinfo.email, userinfo.profile (used for sign-in and account linking)
Gmail sending access: gmail.send (used to send emails you configure from your Gmail account)
Gmail read-only access: gmail.readonly (used to display relevant threads/messages in the app and detect replies so sequences can stop/cancel)

2.2 How We Use Google Data

We use Google user data only to provide user-facing features in Nudgey AI, including:

Sending follow-up emails from your connected Gmail account based on workflows you configure
Displaying relevant email threads/conversation context inside the app
Detecting replies to prevent duplicate follow-ups and to stop/cancel future scheduled follow-ups

2.3 What We Store

We store the minimum necessary data to operate the integration, such as:

Your connected Google account identifier (e.g., email address)
OAuth tokens needed to maintain the connection (stored securely and encrypted)
Workflow configuration you create in Nudgey AI
Gmail message/thread IDs, timestamps, and conversation snippets for tracking follow-up sequences
We do not store complete email bodies or attachments from your Gmail

2.4 How We Share Google Data

We do not sell Google user data
We do not use Google user data for advertising or marketing targeting
We do not allow humans to read your Gmail data except with your explicit permission for customer support purposes
We may share limited data with our service providers solely to operate Nudgey AI (e.g., hosting, database, logging) under strict confidentiality and security obligations

2.5 Data Retention and Deletion

We retain Google connection data and any stored Gmail-related identifiers for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the features above.

You can disconnect Gmail at any time in the app at: Settings → Integrations → Disconnect Google.

After disconnect:

We immediately revoke OAuth access tokens
Stored Gmail thread/message references are deleted within 30 days
Your workflow configurations are preserved unless you delete your account

2.6 User Controls and Revoking Access

You can revoke Nudgey AI's access at any time:

In-app: Navigate to Settings → Integrations → Disconnect Google
Google Account: Visit Google Account → Security → Third-party apps with account access and remove Nudgey AI

2.7 Security of Google User Data

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect Google user data, including:

Encryption in transit using TLS/SSL protocols
Encryption at rest for stored OAuth tokens and sensitive data
Access controls and least-privilege access principles
Regular security audits and monitoring
Secure credential storage using industry best practices

2.8 Limited Use Disclosure

Nudgey AI's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Nudgey AI's use of Google user data is limited to the purposes described in this policy and to providing or improving user-facing features visible in Nudgey AI's interface.
