1. Introduction

Hetk Technologies OÜ (Registry Code: 17181483) operates the calendar synchronization service at hetk.io (“Service”). This policy explains how we handle your personal data.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you sign in with Google, Microsoft, or Apple, we receive:

  • Email address
  • Display name
  • Profile picture URL

Legal basis: Contract performance (to create and manage your account)

Calendar Data

To sync your calendars, we access:

  • Event details (title, time, location, attendees)
  • Calendar names
  • Free/busy status

What we store: Event content (titles, descriptions, locations, attendees) is processed in memory during sync and not stored. We retain minimal sync metadata (event identifiers, change tokens, and event timing) to detect changes and prevent duplicates. This metadata is deleted when you remove a sync relationship.

Legal basis: Contract performance (to provide the sync service you requested)

Payment Information

Stripe processes payments. We only receive:

  • Last 4 digits of your card
  • Expiration date
  • Billing address

We never see or store your full card number.

Legal basis: Contract performance (to process your subscription)

Usage Data

  • Login timestamps
  • Feature usage statistics
  • Error logs

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (to improve the service and fix bugs)

3. Google Calendar Data

Hetk’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.

What We Access

When you connect a Google Calendar account, we request access to:

  • Your calendar list (names and identifiers)
  • Calendar events (title, time, location, attendees, description, free/busy status)
  • Event change notifications (via Google Calendar push notifications)

How We Use Google Data

We use Google Calendar data solely to provide the calendar synchronization service you requested. Specifically, we:

  • Read events from your Google Calendar to sync them to your other connected calendars
  • Write events to your Google Calendar when syncing from your other connected calendars
  • Monitor for changes via webhooks to keep your calendars in sync

How We Store Google Data

  • Google OAuth tokens are encrypted with per-user keys and stored in Azure SQL within the EU
  • Event content (titles, descriptions, locations, attendees) is processed in memory during sync operations and not stored
  • Sync metadata (event identifiers, change tokens, content hashes, event timing) is stored to detect changes and prevent duplicates while a sync relationship is active
  • Sync metadata is deleted when you remove a sync relationship or disconnect your Google account

How We Share Google Data

Google Calendar data is shared only with the destination calendar provider(s) you have configured in your sync relationships (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCloud). We do not share Google data with any other third party.

What We Do NOT Do with Google Data

  • We do not use Google data for advertising, retargeting, or interest-based marketing
  • We do not sell, lease, or trade Google data to third parties, data brokers, or information resellers
  • We do not use Google data for purposes unrelated to the calendar sync functionality
  • We do not allow humans to read your Google data unless you give explicit consent, it is necessary for security purposes, or it is required by law

Revoking Access

You can revoke Hetk’s access to your Google account at any time:

  • From within Hetk: disconnect your Google Calendar account in Settings
  • From Google: visit Google Account Permissions and remove Hetk

When you revoke access, we delete your Google OAuth tokens and stop all sync operations involving your Google Calendar within 24 hours.
