• Uploaded documents or questionnaire responses
• Messages exchanged with the AI assistant

b) Information collected automatically

• Device information (browser type, IP address, operating system)

2. How We Use Your Information

3. Google Calendar Integration (Optional Feature)

FoundrBuddy offers an optional integration with Google Calendar to help users manage tasks, reminders, and deadlines.

When you enable this integration, FoundrBuddy may access the following Google Calendar data:

• Calendar events (title, date, time)
• Creation, modification, or deletion of events linked to tasks created within the application

This data is used exclusively to:

• Create one-time or recurring reminders associated with FoundrBuddy tasks
• Synchronize important deadlines with the user's personal calendar
• Notify users of actions to be completed according to their planning

FoundrBuddy does not use Google Calendar data for advertising, analytics, or commercial purposes.

Calendar data is never sold or shared with third parties.

The Google Calendar integration is optional and can be disabled at any time:

• From the FoundrBuddy account settings
• Or directly from the user's Google account

Once access is revoked, FoundrBuddy immediately stops accessing calendar data.

4. Third-Party Services and OAuth

FoundrBuddy may integrate with third-party services chosen by the user (e.g. Google Calendar, Google Drive, Notion).

All integrations rely on OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication. Access is strictly limited to the permissions explicitly granted by the user during the consent process.

5. Data Sharing

We may share data only with:

• Service providers (hosting, analytics, authentication)
• Third-party tools explicitly connected by the user
• Legal authorities, if required by law

All third-party providers comply with GDPR or equivalent data protection standards.

6. Data Storage and Security

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

We implement industry-standard security measures to prevent unauthorized access.

7. User Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union, you have the right to:

• Access your data
• Correct or update your data
• Request data deletion ("right to be forgotten")
• Export your data
• Restrict or object to processing

8. Data Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide the service or comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion at any time.
