5. Google User Data (Google Calendar Integration)

SkipScreen allows users to optionally connect their Google account to enable calendar integration for scheduling interviews.

When a user connects their Google account, SkipScreen may request access to the following Google Calendar permission:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events

This permission allows SkipScreen to create and manage calendar events initiated by the user within the platform.

Google Calendar data is used strictly for the following purposes:

• Creating interview meeting events when a recruiter and candidate schedule a meeting
• Updating events when meetings are rescheduled
• Ensuring users receive reminders through Google Calendar

SkipScreen does not:

• Access unrelated calendar events
• Read a user's full calendar history
• Use Google user data for advertising
• Use Google user data for unrelated analytics
• Use Google user data to train artificial intelligence models
• Sell or transfer Google user data to third parties

Google user data is used only to provide the calendar scheduling functionality requested by the user.

Users may revoke Google account access at any time through their Google Account permissions.
