The priority during the development of the application was and is to ensure the security of data from your Google or Microsoft calendar and profile. Before we started creating the application, we wrote down the principles that must be followed to make our application meaningful. Only after making sure we could meet these requirements did we proceed with designing and launching the Calensist application.
Principle 1 - Privacy
We never store the details of your events on our servers. We do not save event details in our database. We only save the event ID and its duration to prevent creating duplicate events in your calendars and to present your availability on booking pages.
During calendar synchronization, we only fetch the necessary event details, temporarily store them in a virtual queue to immediately create or update the event on the target calendar. As soon as the event is updated on the target calendar, the event information disappears without a trace from the server memory.
We never share any client event data with anyone because we simply do not have it and it is not our goal to sell it. You will not find any ads or third-party components in our application.
Principle 2 - Security
We always connect to your Google or Outlook calendars using secure connections (SSL encrypted). To gain access to your accounts, we use the secure OAuth2 protocol. We do not store your account passwords, and you can withdraw our access at any time.
The OAuth2 protocol, by definition, does not allow access to your account password. During the application login process, you will be asked to grant access to specific resources of your account. Google and Microsoft servers, based on your consent, will provide us only with those specific pieces of information and nothing more.
Principle 3 - Minimal Access
When you log into our application or add additional accounts to it, you grant us access only to your calendars and basic information about you. We will be able to read and add events to your calendars and that’s it. We will not gain access to your emails or files on Google Drive or OneDrive.
