About This Privacy Policy and Using Our Websites, Applications and Utilities
This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") applies to websites owned and managed by Bizzflo and to Bizzflo mobile applications and other applications, utilities, and services provided by Bizzflo.
Bizzflo, Inc. ("Bizzflo," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to respecting the privacy of our customers, visitors, and users of Bizzflo applications and services ("Services"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, share, and protect information in connection with our Services.
Your use of the Bizzflo Website and Services is governed by this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions.
Some Bizzflo functionality may be used without registration. Other tools and services require registration and may require users to provide personal information. Users are responsible for maintaining accurate account information so that Bizzflo can provide the requested Services and communicate with them when necessary.
This Privacy Policy applies to Bizzflo Services and does not apply to independent third-party websites or services that may be accessible through Bizzflo. Those third parties may maintain their own privacy and data-handling practices.
Mobile Device Applications
When users install or access a Bizzflo mobile application, Bizzflo may collect technical information necessary to operate the application, such as application installation identifiers, device type, operating system, and application usage information.
Such information may be used to operate the application, maintain sessions, provide requested functionality, diagnose technical issues, and improve the reliability and usability of Bizzflo Services.
Personal information associated with a Bizzflo account is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Google Calendar Integration and Google User Data
Bizzflo provides an optional Google Calendar integration that allows authorized users, including business providers and their staff, to synchronize their Bizzflo work schedules with Google Calendar.
Google Calendar access occurs only when a user chooses to connect their Google Account to Bizzflo and explicitly grants the requested permissions through Google's OAuth authorization process.
Google User Data Accessed by Bizzflo
When a user enables the Google Calendar integration, Bizzflo may access the following Google user data:
Google Calendar List Information
Bizzflo accesses information about calendars available to the authenticated user so that calendars available for synchronization can be identified.
This access is limited to calendar-list information necessary to provide the integration.
Google Calendar Event Data
Bizzflo accesses Google Calendar events and information associated with those events as necessary to provide calendar synchronization.
This information may include:
- Event titles and descriptions;
- Event dates;
- Start and end times;
- Event status;
- Calendar identifiers;
- Event identifiers;
- Availability and blocked-time information; and
- Other event information necessary to synchronize schedules and appointments.
How Bizzflo Uses Google Calendar Data
Bizzflo uses Google Calendar data solely to provide user-facing scheduling, calendar, and synchronization functionality.
This includes:
- Synchronizing Bizzflo appointments with Google Calendar;
- Synchronizing classes and scheduled activities;
- Synchronizing staff schedules;
- Synchronizing blocked or unavailable time;
- Creating Google Calendar events when applicable;
- Reading Google Calendar events required for synchronization;
- Updating calendar events when appointments or schedules change;
- Deleting or cancelling calendar events when corresponding appointments are cancelled or removed;
- Detecting applicable schedule changes made directly in Google Calendar;
- Reflecting applicable Google Calendar changes within Bizzflo;
- Determining staff availability; and
- Preventing scheduling conflicts and double bookings.
Bizzflo does not use Google Calendar data for advertising, marketing, or user profiling and does not sell Google user data.
For clarity, advertising, analytics, personalization, and marketing practices described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy do not use Google Workspace API user data obtained through the Google Calendar integration.
Google OAuth Authorization and Revocation
Bizzflo accesses Google Calendar data only after the user explicitly authorizes access through Google's OAuth authorization process.
Users may revoke Bizzflo's access to their Google Account through their Google Account permissions.
Where supported, users may also disconnect their Google Calendar integration through Bizzflo.
After authorization is revoked or the integration is disconnected, Bizzflo will no longer obtain new Google Calendar data through that authorization unless the user reconnects and authorizes the integration again.
Google API Services User Data Policy
Bizzflo's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Google Workspace Data and Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
Bizzflo does not use Google Workspace API user data, including Google Calendar data, to develop, improve, train, or fine-tune generalized or foundational artificial intelligence ("AI") or machine learning ("ML") models.

Bizzflo does not transfer, disclose, or provide Google Workspace API user data, including Google Calendar data, to third-party AI/ML service providers for AI/ML processing, model training, model improvement, or other AI/ML purposes.
Bizzflo's AI/ML functionality is isolated from its Google Calendar integration. Google Workspace API user data obtained through Google APIs is not provided as input to Bizzflo's AI/ML features.
These restrictions apply to raw Google Workspace API user data as well as aggregated, anonymized, or derived data originating from Google Workspace APIs.

- Training generalized or foundational AI/ML models;
- Improving generalized or foundational AI/ML models;
- Advertising;
- Marketing;
- User profiling; or
- Other purposes unrelated to the user-facing Google Calendar integration.
Bizzflo does not permit third-party AI/ML providers to use Google Workspace API user data obtained through Bizzflo to train or improve their generalized AI/ML models.
Bizzflo requires its employees, contractors, agents, service providers, and other parties that may have access to Google Workspace API user data to comply with the applicable Google API Services User Data Policy and Limited Use requirements.
