5. Google User Data (Google Calendar Integration – Full Scope)
YOUB integrates with Google Calendar to support training planning and schedule synchronization. We use full calendar access (Google Calendar full scope) to provide the requested functionality. In compliance with the Google API Services User Data Policy, we are transparent about how we access, use, store, and share Google user data.
5.1 Data Accessed
If you explicitly connect your Google account, YOUB may access and manage Google Calendar data via the Google Calendar API full scope, limited to the minimum necessary to provide calendar synchronization. This may include:
- Calendar metadata (e.g., calendar ID and calendar name)
- Calendar events (only event fields required for scheduling and synchronization), such as event title/summary, description, start time, end time, recurrence information (if applicable), and event updates
YOUB does not access Google data such as emails, contacts, files/documents, or any other Google services unrelated to calendar scheduling.
5.2 Data Usage
We use Google Calendar data only for the following purposes:
- Export training sessions: Create or update planned training sessions from YOUB in your Google Calendar (so your training plan appears in your schedule).
- Import schedule availability: Read existing calendar events to optimize training planning around your availability (e.g., work commitments, travel, appointments).
We do not use Google Calendar data for advertising, profiling, market research, or resale.
5.3 Data Storage, Retention, and Deletion
- Google Calendar data is processed securely and stored only as long as necessary to provide the calendar integration features.
- You can disconnect Google Calendar at any time. After disconnection, YOUB no longer accesses your Google Calendar data.
- Any stored Google Calendar-related data is deleted upon account disconnection or upon your request, unless legal retention obligations apply.
5.4 Data Sharing
YOUB does not sell, rent, or share Google user data with third parties. Google user data may be processed by our infrastructure providers strictly as needed to operate the service (e.g., secure cloud hosting), and only under appropriate contractual safeguards (e.g., data processing agreements) and in compliance with applicable law.
5.5 User Control
You can control your Google Calendar connection in the following ways:
- Revoke access at any time via your Google Account settings (Third-party access / OAuth permissions).
- Disconnect Google Calendar within YOUB (if available in-app).
- Request deletion by contacting felix@youb.app.
6. AI and Machine Learning
YOUB uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide personalized training insights and recommendations. This may include analyzing your connected wearable data, training history, and preferences to tailor guidance.
Important clarification: Important clarification: Google user data accessed via Google APIs (such as Google Calendar data) is not used to train, improve, or develop generalized AI or machine learning models. Google Calendar data is used only to provide the calendar synchronization and scheduling functionality for your account.
7. Use of External Processors
YOUB uses modern cloud infrastructure and AI services to provide its functionality. Our processors include:
- Google Cloud Platform / Google Gemini: We use Google’s AI models to generate personalized training insights. Data processed via Gemini is handled under enterprise-grade privacy standards and is not used to train global models.
- Heroku & Railway: Our backend and frontend infrastructure are hosted on these platforms, with all data processing occurring on servers located within the European Union (e.g., Frankfurt, Germany or Dublin, Ireland).
We ensure that all processors provide appropriate technical and organizational measures (TOMs) and operate under GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreements (DPAs).
8. Data Retention & Account Deletion (Apple Requirement)
We retain your personal data only as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services.
- In-App Deletion: You can request the deletion of your account and all associated personal data directly within the app's settings.
- Manual Request: Alternatively, you can send an email to felix@youb.app with the subject "Data Deletion".
Once a deletion request is processed, your data will be permanently removed from our active databases within 30 days, unless legal retention obligations (e.g., tax laws) apply.
