Information Accessed<\/h2>\n<p>With explicit account-owner authorization, the application<br \/>\nrequests Gmail read-only access.<\/p>\n<p>This permission can allow access to Gmail message content,<br \/>\nmetadata, labels, and related mailbox information. The current<br \/>\napplication workflow is designed to process selected<br \/>\nbusiness-acquisition alert messages.<\/p>\n<p>Information processed may include message identifiers,<br \/>\nprocessing status, relevant alert text, direct listing URLs,<br \/>\nand information about advertised businesses.<\/p>\n<h2>2. How Google User Data Is Used<\/h2>\n<p>Google user data is used for authorized business acquisition<br \/>\nalert processing, identifying listing links, preventing<br \/>\nduplicate records, and maintaining research reports.<\/p>\n<p>Google user data is not used for advertising, selling personal<br \/>\ninformation, or sending unsolicited emails.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Gmail Permissions<\/h2>\n<p>The application uses Gmail read-only authorization.<br \/>\nIts current synchronization workflow does not send,<br \/>\ndelete, archive, or modify Gmail messages.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Storage and Security<\/h2>\n<p>The application operates primarily on privately managed<br \/>\ncomputer infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>OAuth authorization credentials are stored locally using<br \/>\nWindows data protection mechanisms. Business research and<br \/>\nsynchronization records are maintained in local application<br \/>\nstorage, including databases and processing-state files.<\/p>\n<p>Access is controlled through the operating system and<br \/>\napplication security mechanisms. No storage system can<br \/>\nguarantee absolute security.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Sharing and AI Use<\/h2>\n<p>Google user data is not sold or used for targeted advertising.<\/p>\n<p>The current Gmail alert synchronization workflow does not<br \/>\nforward mailbox messages to business listing marketplaces.<\/p>\n<p>Google user data is not used to train generalized artificial<br \/>\nintelligence models. The application is not intended to transfer<br \/>\nGmail information to third-party AI model providers.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Data Retention and Deletion<\/h2>\n<p>Business research records and synchronization history may<br \/>\nbe retained for research, duplicate prevention, and<br \/>\napplication operation.<\/p>\n<p>A fixed automatic deletion schedule is not currently<br \/>\nspecified. Stored information can be deleted through<br \/>\nadministrative maintenance procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The account owner may revoke Google authorization through<br \/>\nGoogle Account settings. Revocation prevents future authorized<br \/>\naccess but does not automatically delete previously stored<br \/>\nlocal information.<\/p>\n<p>Requests concerning stored information or deletion can<br \/>\nbe directed to the privacy contact listed below.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Google API Limited Use<\/h2>\n<p>Takeover AI Business Finder&#8217;s use and transfer of information<br \/>\nreceived from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services<br \/>\nUser Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Third-Party Information<\/h2>\n<p>The application may organize public business information<br \/>\nand links originating from independent marketplaces and<br \/>\npublic datasets. Those services maintain their own policies.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Policy Updates<\/h2>\n<p>This policy may be updated when application functionality,<br \/>\npermissions, or data-handling practices change. Material<br \/>\nchanges will be disclosed and additional consent obtained<br \/>\nwhere required.<\/p>\n<h2>10.
