• Revoking Access: You can disconnect your Google Calendar account from Appointify at any time. You may also revoke our access through your Google Account settings: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
