Google Integration

We allow users to connect Google accounts (e.g. Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Sheets) to Kizen and the service we offer.

We do not share your Google user data with third parties except as required to provide, maintain, and improve the service’s functionality.

Depending on the type of integration, the Personal Data related to your integration may be controlled either by Kizen or by one of our customers. If you connect your Google account directly with us, Kizen controls that Personal Data and handles it as described above.

How We Use Your Calendar Data:

  • Selective Access: Users maintain control by selecting only the specific calendars applicable to their workflows.

  • Two-Way Synchronization: You may sync scheduled activities directly from the Kizen CRM into your Google Calendar.
  • Centralized Dashboards: To provide a comprehensive view of your schedule, Kizen aggregates events from your selected Google calendars alongside your Kizen activity dashboards and other configured calendar sources.

You acknowledge that different terms of use and privacy policies may apply to your use of such Generative AI Products and that such terms and policies are solely between you and that third party.
We will not share your Personal Data with a Generative AI Product and the Personal Data you provide to us will never be used to train a Generative AI Product.

Kizen Technologies Inc will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
