3. Google User Data

Our use of information received from Google APIs and Google Sign-In is limited to providing authentication and account-related functionality.

We only access the Google user information necessary to allow you to create an account and sign in to our service.

We do not access sensitive or restricted Google account data such as Gmail messages, Google Drive files, Google Calendar events, or Google Contacts.
