Privacy Policy

We may collect one or more of the following categories of information depending on how you use the Balance services.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our services
• Personalize your experience and surface recommendations
• Communicate with you about announcements, updates, and support requests
• Handle billing, payments, and subscription management
• Analyze usage trends so we understand how people use Balance
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it:

• With service providers who help us operate the services, including payment processors and hosting providers
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (and we will continue to protect your information)
• When required by law or to protect our rights, property, safety, or that of other users
• With your consent

Because we rely on Google APIs and offer Google sign-in, we follow Google's requirements by ensuring:

• This Privacy Policy is publicly available, hosted on our verified domain, and linked from our home page and consent screens
• We disclose what Google user data we access, how we store it, how we use it, and with whom we share it
• We only use Google user data for the purposes described in this policy

When you choose to sign in with Google, Balance may request permission to access your Google Calendar through the following OAuth scopes:

• ./auth/calendar - to read your calendar metadata and event details
• ./auth/calendar.events - to create, update, or delete events when you choose to schedule through Balance

We request only the minimum access required to provide core functionality. Balance uses your Google Calendar data solely for:

• Importing and displaying your existing Google Calendar events
• Allowing you to create, edit, or delete events within Balance and sync them back to Google Calendar
• Generating scheduling suggestions or time-blocks based on your preferences and activity patterns
• Keeping your Balance schedule and Google Calendar consistent across platforms

Balance does not use Google Calendar data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to calendar syncing and scheduling.

We never sell, rent, or share Google Calendar data with third parties.

We retain your personal information only as long as needed to:

• Deliver the services you requested
• Comply with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations
• Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements

When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

Depending on where you live, you may be able to exercise the following rights over your personal information:

• Access or correct the personal information we hold about you
• Delete your account or personal data, subject to legal limits
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Object to certain processing activities, including direct marketing

We and our service providers use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how you use the services, and improve performance. You may disable cookies in your browser, but some features may not function properly.

We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, no system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to us.

Your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in a country other than your own. By using Balance, you consent to any such transfer consistent with this Privacy Policy.

The services are not directed to children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will delete that information.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above and may provide additional notice for material changes. Your continued use of the services signifies acceptance of the updated policy.
