5. Google User Data Policy. When you decide to host a virtual event on our platform via the Google Meet option, we would request that you grant our platform permissions that would help you create and manage your virtual events seamlessly, on Google Meet.
   How we collect, store, use and manage your crucial Google permissions are carefully explained below for your understanding:
   
   
   1. Who is requesting for your Google user data: when you decide to create a virtual event on our platform via Google Meet, we will request that you grant only Yeerlo access to your Google Calendar Events. This permission is only used by our platform and is never shared with any other party aside Google, for obtaining the necessary tokens needed for integrating our platform into your Google/Meet account.
      These tokens are securely protected and encrypted at rest, in a way that prevents potential access from any other party aside Yeerlo.
   2. What data are we requesting for: when opting for virtual events on our platform via the Google Meet option, we will request you grant us access to your Google Calendar Events scope, indicated by this link "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events". This scope grants us access to read from, write to and delete events in your calendar, on your behalf.
      While this may give us access to any event on your Google calendar, we herein state carefully that we're only interested in the events you added to your Google calendar via our platform; and we'll never in any way interact with any other events on your calendar that was not created via our platform.
   3. Why we are requesting for your Google user data: we are requesting for your Calendar Events scope to grant our platform access to reading, writing and deleting events on your behalf. We will use this access granted to us to fetch events tied to your Google Meeting link, create new events tied to your Google Meet and Calendar accounts, update existing Google Meet virtual events, and delete the events whenever you decide to delete an event tied to your Google Meet and Calendar accounts. This helps keep you and your attendees updated on the status of your virtual events, to avoid attendees trying to enter a meeting that no longer exists or whose date of occurrence has been changed/updated.
      By granting us this access, it will be very much easier to create virtual events on our platform that will also create the event on your Google calendar and return back to you the meeting link for the virtual event; which you can share with anyone you intend to share with, and also, automatically to those who book your event tickets.
   4. Termination of your Google user data: if at any point in time you decide to stop using virtual events via Google Meet on our platform, their are three options available for you to invalidate any of your Google credentials we may be in possession of:
      1. Method 1: this is by far the simplest. Simply log in to your account on our platform, locate and click on the red button indicated by "Invalidate Google Integration" in the top right corner of your profile icon.
      2. Method 2: simply send us a mail at [email protected] with your registered email address on our platform and your request to discontinue granting our platform access to your Google/Meet account data, and we'll remove every record we have regarding your Google/Meet account data.
      3. Method 3: simply remove our app from the list of apps you have granted access to, on your Google account, which can be found on the Security section of your Google account under Third-party apps with account access. Doing so will invalidate all records we're in possession of.
   
   WE HEREIN, POINT OUT THAT YEERLO FULLY COMPLIES WITH THE GOOGLE API SERVICES USER DATA POLICY, INCLUDING THE LIMITED USE REQUIREMENTS; AND THAT YEERLO'S USE AND TRANSFER OF INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM GOOGLE APIS TO ANY OTHER APP WILL ADHERE TO GOOGLE API SERVICES USER DATA POLICY , INCLUDING THE LIMITED USE REQUIREMENTS.
   
   Remember that after invoking our access to your Google data, you will no longer be able to use the virtual events via Google Meet on our platform unless you reconnect our platform to your Google account again.

   How we collect, store, use and manage your crucial Zoom permissions are carefully explained below for your understanding:
   
   
   1. Who is requesting for your Zoom user data: when you decide to create a virtual event on our platform via Zoom, we will request that you grant only our platform access to your Zoom Meetings & Events. This permission is only used by our platform and is never shared with any other party aside Zoom, for obtaining the necessary tokens needed for integrating our platform into your Zoom account.
      These tokens are securely protected and encrypted in a way that prevents potential access from any other party aside our platform.
   2. What data are we requesting for: when opting for virtual events on our platform via the Zoom option, we will request you grant us access to your Zoom Meetings, Events and User scopes. This scope grants us access to create and manage your Zoom meetings and events on your behalf.
      While this may give us access to any event and meeting on your Zoom account, we herein state carefully that we're only interested in the events and meetings you added to your Zoom account via our platform; and we'll never interact with any other events and meetings on your Zoom account that was not created via our platform.
   3. Why we are requesting for your Zoom user data: we are requesting for your Meetings, Events and User scopes to grant our platform access to reading, writing and deleting events and meetings on your behalf.

Doing so will invalidate all records we're in possession of; also, Zoom will send us a webhook request to our callback endpoint for us to remove any of your tokens we may be in possession of.
   
   Remember that after invoking our access to your Zoom data, you will no longer be able to use the virtual events via Zoom on our platform unless you reconnect our platform to your Zoom account again.
