Service Provider

This document outlines the privacy practices of GRANOT INC and GRANOT-TECH INC (collectively referred to as GRANOT/WE/US), detailing our collection, storage, usage, and disclosure methods for various types of business and personal data. As a web-based application service provider primarily serving the Moving and Storage industry, GRANOT acts as a steward for customer data.

Customer Data Management by GRANOT

We manage, process, and store data on behalf of our business customers (the CUSTOMERS). This data, submitted via our service and API gateway, is handled solely by our software. As a customer, you retain ownership and control of your data. GRANOT safeguards it, restricts access to it, and adheres strictly to your directives during processing. You maintain the right to access, share (via API), export, or request deletion of your data. Upon termination of your account with us, your data will be systematically purged from our active databases within three months and from our backup systems within an additional three months.

Data Retention

Your account data is stored by GRANOT for the period necessary for fulfilling the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. There may be instances when we are legally mandated to hold onto your data for longer periods, such as for maintaining suppression lists, addressing legal claims or proceedings, enforcing our agreements, and complying with other legal, tax, or accounting requirements. Upon completion of the legitimate need for your data, it will be deleted or anonymized from our active databases and isolated from further processing in backup systems until deletion is viable.

Data Collection by Granot

Data collected by us includes information about website visitors, prospective customers, and those who get in touch with us via forms or emails linked to our website. We also collect data automatically from browsers, devices, and servers, and use cookies and tracking technologies. Publicly available information from government, business, and social networks also forms part of our data collection, adhering strictly to the terms and conditions of the respective sources.

Data Sharing Policy

We respect your data privacy. GRANOT does not engage in sharing, publishing, or selling any data related to our customers and their consumers, users, contractors, third parties, or activities.

Public Data Usage

Data collected from publicly accessible sources may be indexed and republished by GRANOT, primarily for the benefit of our customers. Customers wishing to modify or opt-out of this listing can reach us at info@granot.com. Modifications will be implemented within 48 hours on business days (Monday to Friday).

Opt-out from Emails

All emails sent through GRANOT`s email system contain a clear "Remove Me" link at the bottom. The recipient can choose to stop receiving emails from the sender by clicking this link. GRANOT may prohibit customers from sending emails to recipients who have opted out.

Opt-out from Texting

Every text message (SMS) dispatched through GRANOT`s texting system includes a clear option to cease receiving messages. The recipient can elect to opt-out from future texts from the sender by replying to any of our messages with the word "Stop". Following this action, GRANOT will discontinue sending messages to that recipient. We reserve the right to prevent customers from sending text messages to recipients who have chosen to opt-out.

Google API Service

Our software integrates with Google APIs to enhance certain functionalities. Please note, accessing Google APIs is optional and not required for the core functionality of our moving software.

The primary purpose of accessing Google APIs is to duplicate data from our moving software to your Google account for backup and data redundancy, ensuring the safety and accessibility of your information.

We only access your Google Account data with your explicit consent, which is granted via the OAuth consent screen. You will be informed of the specific scopes we request, and we only access the data necessary for the related functionalities. We do not access, collect, or use any other information from your Google Account that is not directly related to these services.

Information Collection

We collect the following information from your Google Account via the following scopes:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send: We collect your email address and use it to send emails securely on your behalf.
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar: We collect and synchronize your Google Calendar to integrate work schedules and events.
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file: We access your Google Drive to back up reports and documents for redundancy and analysis.
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email: We retrieve your primary email address from your Google account to uniquely identify and verify users in the moving software system.

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile: We retrieve basic profile information such as your name and avatar to provide a personalized experience within the moving software.

How Google User Data is Used

Granot uses the data collected through Google APIs (e.g., Google Calendar, Drive, Gmail) solely to improve the functionality of our moving software. For example, we sync your work schedules and events with Google Calendar, back up your reports to Google Drive, and send emails on your behalf via Gmail. This data is used exclusively for these purposes and is not shared with any third parties unless required by law.

Data Retention

We only retain data from Google APIs as long as necessary to provide the related functionality. If a user unlinks their Google account or requests deletion, we will remove all associated Google API data within 30 days. Inactive Google API data is removed from backups within 90 days.

Security Measures

All data transferred between our software and Google services is encrypted in transit using HTTPS. We also encrypt any stored Google user data to ensure security. Access to this data is strictly controlled, and our systems are regularly audited to ensure compliance with industry-standard security protocols.

Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not share your information with any third parties unless legally required to do so. All data accessed from Google APIs is used strictly for the purposes outlined above. If we are required by law to disclose your personal data, we will notify you when legally permitted

Changes in Your Google Account

Depending on the data transferred from our moving software, we may add calendars or folders in your Google Calendar or Google Drive to facilitate synchronization. These changes are necessary to maintain consistency between the platforms and provide a seamless user experience.

User Rights

You have the right to revoke our access to your Google Account at any time by unlinking your account via the OAuth consent screen or in your Google Account settings. You can also request deletion of any data we have processed from your Google account by contacting us directly.

Google API Service - OAuth 2.0 Scopes

Optional connectivity to Google Calendar API, Google Drive API, Google Sheets API, and Gmail API. The following scopes enable the moving software to provide a comprehensive and secure integration with Google APIs. They allow for accurate user identification, seamless calendar and event management, efficient file and folder creation, advanced spreadsheet functionalities, and enhanced email communication. These scopes ensure data privacy, access restrictions, and the overall integrity of the user experience. By leveraging these scopes, the software can accurately identify users, enable schedule management and synchronization, create dedicated calendars and events, manage its own files securely, utilize Google Sheets for data analysis and backup, and send emails securely using the user`s Gmail account. Together, these scopes empower the moving software to deliver a robust, integrated, and user-friendly experience for managing schedules, tasks, and communications within a secure environment.

Sensitive Scopes:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send - sensitive:
    The gmail.send scope grants the moving software permission to send emails on behalf of the user using the Gmail API. This scope replaces legacy SMTP services and enables the software to compose and send emails using the user`s Gmail account. By using the gmail.send scope, the moving software ensures enhanced security, authentication, and reliability for sending emails, providing a seamless communication experience within the application.

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events - sensitive:
    The calendar.events scope specifically grants the moving software permission to create, edit, and manage events within the user`s dedicated calendars using the Google Calendar API. This integration offers seamless work event management, redundancy, and easy mobile access. Users can conveniently view and access their work-related commitments in one centralized location.

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar - sensitive:
    The calendar scope grants the moving software permission to create, edit, and manage dedicated calendars using the Google Calendar API. By having this scope, the moving software can enable users to manage their schedules through the application`s scheduling screen and sync the changes with their dedicated calendars (Operations, Missions, and Schedules), modifying calendar settings, etc., but only on the calendars created by the moving software. The purpose is allowing work events to be pushed to a dedicated calendar.

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.calendarlist - sensitive:
    The calendar.calendarlist scope allows the moving software to manage the list of calendars the user has access to. This includes displaying and organizing the user`s existing calendars alongside the calendars created by the moving software. It ensures that users have easy access to the calendars needed for scheduling and syncing purposes.

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.owned - sensitive:
    The calendar.events.owned scope allows the moving software to manage only the events it creates on the user`s behalf, ensuring that the software can efficiently handle work-related schedules without affecting other calendar events owned by the user.

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets - sensitive:
    The spreadsheets scope grants the moving software permission to create, edit, and manage spreadsheets using the Google Sheets API. This scope allows the software to generate reports and perform analytics by exporting data to Google Sheets. It also facilitates backup processes by storing relevant information in spreadsheets. By having this scope, the moving software can leverage the advanced features of Google Sheets for data analysis, reporting, and backup purposes.

Non-Sensitive Scopes:

  • openid:
    The openid scope allows the moving software to authenticate the user securely by obtaining a unique identifier from their Google account. This ensures accurate user identification and enables personalized functionality within the application.

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file:
    The drive.file scope grants the moving software permission to upload reports, backup data, and documents to Google Drive for analytics reports and backup purposes. This integration enables seamless transfer of important files, facilitating the generation of analytics reports for data analysis while ensuring the safety and redundancy of critical information through secure backups. By utilizing Google Drive`s storage and collaboration features, the moving software enhances data management capabilities, promotes efficient workflows, and safeguards valuable data assets.

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/user.phonenumbers.read:
    The user.phonenumbers.read scope grants the moving software permission to access the user`s phone number, if available, from their Google profile. This is used for contact purposes and to enhance the user`s experience by enabling direct communication within the software.

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email:
    The userinfo.email scope grants the moving software permission to access the user`s email address associated with their Google Account. The requested scope is necessary for accurately identifying and verifying users within the moving software system.

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile:
    The userinfo.profile scope grants the moving software permission to access basic profile information such as the user`s name and avatar. This allows the software to personalize the user`s experience and present relevant information within the application.

By leveraging the requested scopes, the moving software can provide a robust and reliable service with comprehensive features, seamless integrations, enhanced data management, and efficient communication capabilities. This empowers users with an improved experience, allowing them to efficiently manage schedules, tasks, and communications within a secure environment.
