In addition, the companies that host our social media pages may provide us with aggregate information and analytics about our social media activity.
- Other Information You Provide: We collect other information that you may provide to us, such as when you participate in our events or surveys or provide us with information to establish your identity.
When you make purchases, we use secure third-party payment processors to collect credit card or other financial information.

1.2 Information Collected from Third Party Services
When you connect third party services to your Konko AI account, we collect information from those services as described below.
Google Calendar Data. When a provider connects their Google Calendar account, we access and collect the following information through Google's APIs:
- Calendar Availability (FreeBusy Data): We query your calendar to determine which time periods are busy and which are free. This tells us when you are available for appointments. We do not access the details of events that mark you as busy — only the busy/free time blocks.
- Calendar Event Data: For calendar events that are created, modified, or managed through our scheduling platform, we access event details including start time, end time, event title, and event status (confirmed, tentative, cancelled).
- Calendar Metadata: We access calendar names, timezone settings, and calendar identifiers to properly configure the integration.
- Change Notifications: We receive notifications from Google when changes occur on your connected calendar, so that our scheduling system stays in sync with your real-time availability.
What We Do Not Access from Google. We do not access, read, or store:
- Your emails or Gmail data
- Your Google Contacts
- Your Google Drive files or documents
- Your Google Photos
- Event details from personal events you did not create through Konko (we only see the busy/free time blocks for those events)
- Any Google service other than Google Calendar

- Device Information: Name of the device, operating system, device identifiers, and browser you are using. Information collected may depend on the type of device you use and its settings.

You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each time whether to accept it. However, refusing a cookie may in some cases preclude you from using, or negatively affect the display or function of, a website or certain areas or features of a website.

- Account Management: To create and manage your account, authenticate your identity, and provide customer support.
- Improving the Services: To understand how our Services are used, diagnose technical issues, and improve functionality and user experience. We will not use Customer Content (as defined in our Terms of Service) to develop or improve the Services without your explicit consent.

Aggregated or De-Identified Information. We may aggregate or de-identify personal information so that it may no longer be used to identify you and use such information to analyze the effectiveness of our Services and to improve and add features to our Services. We will maintain and use de-identified information in anonymous or de-identified form and we will not attempt to re-identify the information, unless required by law.
3. Google API Services — Limited Use Disclosure
Konko AI'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.
Specifically:
- We only use Google Calendar data to provide and improve the scheduling Services described in this Privacy Policy.
- We do not transfer Google Calendar data to third parties, except as necessary to provide the Services (for example, storing scheduling data in our FHIR-compliant health data infrastructure), with your explicit consent, or as required by law.
- We do not use Google Calendar data for serving advertisements, including retargeting, personalized advertising, or interest-based advertising.
- We do not allow humans to read your Google Calendar data unless (a) we have your affirmative agreement for specific data (for example, helping you troubleshoot a sync issue through our support team), (b) it is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, (c) it is necessary to comply with applicable law, or (d) our use is limited to internal operations and the data (including derivations) is aggregated and anonymized.
4. How We Store and Protect Your Information
Data Storage
- Scheduling Data (appointment records, availability rules, patient information) is stored in our FHIR-compliant health data infrastructure.
- Calendar Sync Data (sync tokens, calendar identifiers, connection status) is stored in our application database.
- Google Calendar OAuth Tokens are encrypted at rest and stored securely. We use these tokens solely to maintain the calendar connection and perform sync operations on your behalf.
- We store minimal information in Google Calendar events created through our platform — only appointment type, patient first name, and a Konko booking identifier. All detailed clinical data remains in our FHIR system.
Data Security
We have implemented reasonable administrative, organizational, technical, and physical measures in an effort to safeguard the personal information in our custody and control against theft, loss, and unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure. These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest
- Access controls and least-privilege permissions for our team
- Regular security assessments
- Multi-factor authentication for internal systems
- Logging and monitoring of access to sensitive data
We restrict access to personal information on a need-to-know basis to employees and authorized service providers who require access to fulfill their job requirements.
However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via the Service or email. In addition, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Service, or third-party websites.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: To assist us in meeting business operations needs and to perform certain services and functions, we may provide personal information to vendors and service providers, including providers of hosting services, customer service vendors, cloud services, email communication software, web analytics services, and other information technology providers. Pursuant to our instructions, these parties will access, process, or store personal information only in the course of performing their duties to us.
- Calendar Services: When you connect your Google Calendar, scheduling data flows between our platform and Google Calendar to maintain synchronization. Only the minimum data necessary for scheduling (appointment time, type, and patient first name) is written to Google Calendar.
- Messaging Platforms: When patients interact with our scheduling agents through WhatsApp or other messaging platforms, appointment-related information is transmitted through those platforms to facilitate the scheduling conversation.
- Healthcare Data (with BAA): For customers who have executed a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with us, we handle protected health information (PHI) in accordance with HIPAA requirements and the terms of that BAA.
- Business Account Administrators: The administrators of your account may access and control your Konko AI account. If you create an account using an email address belonging to your employer or another organization, we may share the fact that you have a Konko AI account and certain account information, such as your email address, with your employer or organization to, for example, enable you to be added to their business account.
- Other Users and Third Parties You Share Information With: Certain features allow you to display or share information with other users or third parties. For example, you may share conversations or scheduling information with other users. Be sure you trust any user or third party with whom you share information.

We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
