Limited Use Disclosure

Last Updated: May 4, 2026

This page describes how Octabiz (operated by Octasys LLC) uses information received from Google APIs. It is the canonical Limited Use disclosure referenced in our Google OAuth verification.

Limited Use statement

Octabiz’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.

Scopes we request

When you connect a Google account to Octabiz, we may request one or more of the following OAuth scopes, only as needed for the feature you enable:

  • openid, userinfo.email, userinfo.profile — sign in and identify your Google account.
  • calendar.events — add, change, and remove events that you create or edit in Octabiz.
  • calendar.readonly — list your calendars so you can pick which one Octabiz syncs to.
  • drive.file — create and manage only the files Octabiz creates or that you explicitly open with Octabiz.
  • drive.readonly — read files you select to import into Octabiz.
  • spreadsheets / spreadsheets.readonly — read from or write to Google Sheets you connect for imports, exports, or reporting.
  • gmail.send — send transactional messages (such as invoices, estimates, or receipts) from your Gmail address at your request.
  • gmail.readonly — read messages you explicitly select for import or reconciliation.
  • analytics.readonly, webmasters.readonly — read Google Analytics and Search Console metrics to display in your Octabiz dashboards.

How we use Google user data

Data received from Google APIs is used solely to:

  • Provide and improve user-facing features that you have explicitly enabled (for example, syncing a calendar event, importing a spreadsheet, sending an invoice by Gmail, or displaying analytics).
  • Comply with applicable law.
  • Investigate abuse or a security incident, where limited human review is necessary.

What we do not do

  • We do not transfer Google user data to third parties except as necessary to provide or improve user-facing features, comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with notice to users.
  • We do not use Google user data for serving advertisements, including retargeting, personalized, or interest-based advertising.
  • We do not sell Google user data.
  • We do not use Google user data, or data derived from it, to develop, improve, or train generalized or non-personalized AI and/or machine learning models. Any AI feature that operates on your Google data runs only on your explicit request and only to produce output for you.
  • We do not allow humans to read Google user data unless we have your affirmative agreement for specific messages, doing so is necessary for security purposes (such as investigating abuse), to comply with applicable law, or the data has been aggregated and anonymized for internal operations.
