Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how GapWalk (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the GapWalk mobile application (“the App”). By using GapWalk, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

a. Google Account Information

When you sign in with Google, we receive your Google account email address and display name. This is used only to identify your account within the app and to display your name in the interface.

b. Google Calendar Data

With your permission, GapWalk accesses your Google Calendar to read event start times, end times, and event status (confirmed, tentative, or cancelled). This data is used in real time to identify free gaps in your daily schedule. We do not read event titles, descriptions, attendee lists, video conferencing links, or any other event metadata.

c. App Settings and Preferences

We store your in-app preferences locally on your device. These include your minimum gap duration, reminder lead time, and which Google Calendar you have chosen to monitor. This data is not transmitted to any server.

d. Walk Session Data

If you start a timed walk session, the duration of that session may be stored locally on your device for display in the app. This data does not leave your device.

e. Device and Diagnostic Information

We do not collect device identifiers, crash analytics, or usage telemetry in the current version of the app. If this changes in a future version, this policy will be updated before the change is deployed.

2. How We Use Google Calendar Data

GapWalk uses your Google Calendar data for one purpose only: to calculate free windows in your schedule where a short walk is possible.

Specifically, the app queries your selected calendar for events occurring during the current day, computes the time gaps between those events, and presents a list of walking opportunities. This calculation happens entirely on your device. The raw calendar event data is held in application memory only for the duration of this calculation and is discarded immediately after.

We do not:

• Store your calendar events on our servers or any external system
• Transmit your calendar data to any third party
• Read your event titles, descriptions, attendees, or any content beyond timing and status
• Use your calendar data for analytics, advertising, or any purpose other than gap detection

GapWalk's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

GapWalk processes your Google Calendar data based on your explicit consent. When you connect your Google account, you are shown Google's OAuth consent screen that describes the specific access being requested. You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting your ability to continue using the non-calendar features of the app.

4. Data Storage and Retention

Calendar event data is not stored. It is fetched at runtime, used to compute gaps, and discarded. No calendar data is written to device storage or transmitted to any server.

Your account preferences (stored locally on your device) are retained until you uninstall the app or manually clear the app's data.

If you disconnect your Google account from GapWalk, the OAuth tokens used to access your calendar are revoked immediately and removed from device storage.

5. Third-Party Services

Google Calendar API (Google LLC)

GapWalk uses the Google Calendar API to read your calendar events. This integration is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. GapWalk's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

GapWalk does not currently use advertising networks, crash reporting services, or analytics platforms that collect user data.

6. User Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your data:

• Access: You can view the account connected to GapWalk at any time from the Settings screen.
• Correction: If your account information is incorrect, update it through your Google account settings.
• Deletion: Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored preferences. Since we do not store calendar data, there is no calendar data to delete from our systems.
• Portability: All walk session data stored locally is accessible on your device. We do not hold additional data to export.
• Objection: You can stop calendar access at any time by disconnecting your account.

7. Revoking Google Calendar Access

You can revoke GapWalk's access to your Google Calendar at any time through one of the following methods:

1. Open GapWalk, go to Settings, and tap “Disconnect Calendar.”
2. Visit myaccount.google.com/permissions, find GapWalk in the list of connected apps, and select “Remove access.”

Revoking access immediately terminates all calendar-related functions. The app will not attempt to re-request access until you explicitly tap “Connect Calendar” again.

8. Security

GapWalk uses Google's OAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication. We never see or store your Google account password. Access to your calendar is governed by a short-lived OAuth token that is stored in your device's secure storage.

We take reasonable technical precautions to protect the data stored on your device. Because we do not operate servers that store your personal or calendar data, there is no server-side data at risk of breach from our systems.

9. Children's Privacy

GapWalk is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has connected a Google account through GapWalk, please contact us at the address below so we can take appropriate action.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If the change is material, we will notify users through an in-app notice before the change takes effect.

Your continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
