• Your Google account email address (used to identify the connected account)
• Google Calendar event data, including event titles, descriptions, start and end times, time zones, locations, event status (confirmed, tentative, cancelled), and whether an event is all-day

3. Google API Services & User Data

The Cloud integrates with Google API Services to provide calendar synchronization features. This section describes how we access, use, store, and share data obtained through Google APIs.

a. Data We Access from Google

When you connect your Google account to The Cloud, we request access to the following scopes:

• Google Calendar (read-only access) — We read your existing calendar events so you can view your schedule within The Cloud and avoid double-booking when managing appointments.
• Google Calendar (event management) — We create, update, and delete calendar events when bookings are made, rescheduled, or cancelled through The Cloud, keeping both systems in sync.
• Email address — We access your Google email address solely to identify which Google account is connected.

b. How We Use Google Data

Google user data is used exclusively to provide and improve the calendar synchronization and booking features within The Cloud. Specifically, we use this data to:

• Display your Google Calendar events within The Cloud calendar interface
• Create and manage calendar events for bookings made through The Cloud
• Synchronize changes between Google Calendar and The Cloud on a periodic basis
• Show your availability to prevent scheduling conflicts

c. How We Store Google Data

OAuth access tokens and refresh tokens are stored securely in our database. Calendar event data retrieved from Google is stored in our database to enable offline access and faster loading within The Cloud. All data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored with encryption at rest.

d. Sharing of Google Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade Google user data to any third party. Google data is not shared with any third parties except:

• Our infrastructure providers (database hosting) who process data on our behalf and are subject to confidentiality obligations
• When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process

Google user data is never used for, transferred to, or shared with any party for the purposes of serving advertisements, retargeting, personalized advertising, or determining creditworthiness.

e. Data Retention and Deletion

Google Calendar data is retained in our systems as long as your Google Calendar connection remains active. When you disconnect your Google account from The Cloud:

• OAuth tokens (access token and refresh token) are immediately deleted
• Synced calendar event data is removed from our database

You may disconnect your Google account at any time through the Calendar settings in The Cloud. You may also revoke access through your Google Account permissions page.

f. Limited Use Disclosure

The Cloud's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

4. AI and Automated Processing

Some Services may use artificial intelligence or automated systems to process user-provided data for functionality such as analysis, generation, organization, or recommendations.

We do not use your private content to train public models unless explicitly stated or consented to.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Enable core functionality
• Understand usage patterns
• Improve performance

You may control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect functionality.

6. Sharing of Information

We may share personal information with:

• Service providers and vendors who assist in operating the Services
• Payment processors and infrastructure providers
• Legal authorities if required by law or to protect rights and safety

We do not sell personal information.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal information
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing

Requests can be made by contacting us at the email below.

10. Children's Privacy

The Services are not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. International Users

If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions.

12. Browser Extension (The Cloud)

The Cloud offers a browser extension for Google Chrome ("the Extension") that lets you save images, links, and web pages from any website to your library. This section describes the specific data practices of the Extension.

a. Data the Extension Accesses

The Extension is designed around user-initiated actions. It does not read, log, or transmit data about websites you visit unless you explicitly trigger a save. Specifically, the Extension accesses:

• Authentication cookie — After you sign in on thecloud.so, the Extension reads the session cookie set by our authentication system so it can call our API on your behalf. It reads cookies only from the thecloud.so domain.
• Local storage — The Extension caches your session token in chrome.storage.local so you remain signed in between browser sessions. No browsing data or page content is stored locally.
• Active tab data (on save only)— When you click the save button on an image, or choose a save action from the right-click menu, the Extension reads the relevant data for that save — the image URL, the link URL, or the current page's URL, title, and rendered text content — and transmits it to our backend. No tab data is accessed until you initiate a save.

b. What the Extension Does NOT Do

• It does not track your browsing history.
• It does not log mouse movements, keystrokes, scroll behavior, or any passive user activity.
• It does not collect or transmit data from pages you have not explicitly saved.
• It does not inject ads or third-party scripts into web pages.
• It does not sell or share your data with third parties.

c. How Saved Content Is Used

Items you save through the Extension are stored in your personal library on thecloud.so, tied to your account. They are used solely to provide the save-and-retrieve functionality of your library. They are not used to build advertising profiles, train public AI models, or for any purpose unrelated to your use of the Services.

d. Removing the Extension

You can uninstall the Extension at any time from Chrome's extension settings, which immediately revokes all its permissions and clears its local storage. You can also delete individual saved items, or your entire library, from your account on thecloud.so.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be effective when posted. Continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
