13. Google and Microsoft integrations (calendar, email, and APIs)

If you voluntarily connect a Google or Microsoft (Outlook / Microsoft 365) account, the Service may access data those providers make available according to the permissions you approve on each provider’s consent screen. This section describes Google user data and Microsoft user data separately, using the same structure, without repeating principles that apply to both.

13.1 Common principles (Google and Microsoft)

  • Connection is optional and requires your explicit consent on each provider’s authorization screen.
  • We use that data only for CRM features you or your organization enable (appointments, transactional email, calendar sync).
  • We do not sell data obtained from Google or Microsoft or use it for third-party personalized advertising unrelated to the Service.
  • Processing is limited to your organization’s workspace on the platform (tenant isolation).
  • You may withdraw access at any time in the application and in your Google or Microsoft account permission settings (see retention and deletion in each subsection below).

How we share the data

  • We do not sell or rent data obtained from Google.
  • Processors (cloud infrastructure, hosting, and database providers) that process data only to operate the Service, under data processing agreements and security measures.
  • Attendees or recipients you designate when scheduling, and Google when Calendar or Gmail flows require delivering invitations or messages.

  • We do not share Google data with third parties for third-party advertising or commercial profiling unrelated to the Service.

Storage and protection

  • OAuth tokens (access and refresh) stored encrypted and tied to your user and organization.
  • Synced appointment metadata and external event identifiers stored in the CRM with per-organization isolation.
  • Communication with Google APIs over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).
  • Internal access limited through authentication, organization-scoped authorization, and reasonable security controls.

Retention and deletion

13.4 Responsibility among providers

Google and Microsoft are independent controllers for processing they perform under their own privacy notices. The Controller for processing through the Service is identified in Section 1; OAuth connections are made to carry out instructions from the user or the customer operating the platform.

14. WhatsApp Business API integration (Meta)

If you or your organization connect a WhatsApp Business account (WhatsApp Business API / Meta Cloud API) or send messages to end contacts through the Service via WhatsApp, this section describes how personal data related to those messages is processed. It applies when the Customer (organization using the CRM) uses WhatsApp as a communication channel with its own contacts.

14.1 Common principles (WhatsApp)

  • Sending WhatsApp messages requires that the end contact has provided opt-in (consent) under applicable law and WhatsApp policies; the Customer is responsible for obtaining and documenting it.
  • Opt-in must clearly state the trade name of the business the person will receive messages from and that communication may occur via WhatsApp.
  • We use WhatsApp-related data only to operate features the Customer enables (confirmations, reminders, replies, permitted campaigns, support).
  • We do not sell data obtained through WhatsApp or use it for third-party personalized advertising unrelated to the Service.
  • Processing is limited to the Customer’s organization workspace on the platform (tenant isolation).
  • Individuals may withdraw consent or opt out of further messages at any time; the Customer must honor opt-out promptly.

14.2 WhatsApp Business API (Meta Platforms)

Data we access

  • End contact phone number and, where applicable, name or identifier linked in the CRM.
  • Message content sent or received through the Service (text, approved templates, attachments allowed by the API) and conversation metadata (date, time, delivery or read status when Meta exposes it).
  • Technical identifiers for the connected WhatsApp Business account, business phone number, and messages in Meta’s API.
  • Operational Service logs related to sending (errors, templates, queues), not for advertising.

How we use the data

  • Send and receive messages that the Customer or its authorized users initiate from the CRM (transactional, operational, or marketing where valid opt-in exists).
  • Display conversation history in the CRM and link messages to contacts, appointments, opportunities, or other Customer records.
  • Operate message templates, automations, and reminders configured by the Customer.
  • Prevent abuse, fraud, or policy violations; log delivery or integration errors.
  • Handle access, rectification, or deletion requests per Sections 7 and 8.

How we share the data

  • Meta Platforms, Inc. and its affiliates process and route messages as the WhatsApp Business API provider; Meta’s processing is governed by its own terms and privacy notices.
  • Service processors (cloud infrastructure, database, support) that process data only to operate the platform, under data processing agreements and security measures.
  • Authorized users within the Customer’s organization in the CRM, according to roles and permissions.
  • We do not share WhatsApp conversation data with third parties for third-party advertising or unrelated commercial profiling.

Storage and protection

  • WhatsApp integration tokens, credentials, and identifiers stored encrypted and tied to the Customer’s organization.
  • Message content and history stored in the CRM with per-organization isolation, restricted access, and encrypted communication with Meta APIs (HTTPS/TLS).
  • Access controls, authentication, and organization-scoped authorization equivalent to the rest of the Service.

Retention, deletion, and opt-out

  • WhatsApp integration: while the connection remains active; credentials are deactivated in the Service when disconnected. The Customer may revoke permissions in Meta Business Manager and in the business WhatsApp settings.
  • Message history in the CRM: per Section 7 and Customer configuration; deletion may be requested per Section 8.
  • Opt-out: if a person indicates they no longer want messages (for example by replying STOP, a opt-out keyword configured by the Customer, contacting the business, or requesting through another published channel), the Customer must immediately stop sending promotional or unsolicited WhatsApp messages and update its lists in the CRM.
  • Privacy requests regarding WhatsApp data: privacy@ayuda.app or the Section 1 contact; we respond within a reasonable period (generally within 30 days where GDPR or equivalent laws apply).

Use of the WhatsApp Business API is also governed by WhatsApp/Meta terms and policies, including: WhatsApp Business Terms of Service.

14.3 Responsibility among providers

Meta is an independent controller for processing it performs as the WhatsApp operator under its own notices. The controller vis-à-vis the Customer’s end contacts is typically the organization sending the messages; the Controller for processing through the Service is identified in Section 1 to the extent it operates the platform on the Customer’s instructions.
