Fenced.ai – Google API Disclosure

Fenced.ai’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

The Limited Use requirements have four elements:

  • Allowed Use: Developers are only allowed to use restricted scope data to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent from the requesting app’s user interface. It should be clear to your users why and how you use the restricted scope data they’ve chosen to share with you.
  • Allowed Use: Developers are only allowed to use restricted scope data to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent from the requesting app’s user interface. It should be clear to your users why and how you use the restricted scope data they’ve chosen to share with you.
  • Prohibited Advertising: Developers are never allowed to use or transfer restricted scope data to serve users advertisements. This includes personalized, re-targeted and interest-based advertising.
  • Prohibited Human Interaction: Developers cannot allow humans to read restricted scope user data. For example, a developer with access to a user’s data is not allowed to have one of its employees read through a user’s emails. There are four limited exceptions to this rule: (a) the developer obtains a user’s consent to read specific messages (for example, for tech support), (b) it’s necessary for security purposes (for example, investigating abuse), (c) to comply with applicable laws, and (d) the developer aggregates and anonymizes the data and only uses it for internal operations (for example, reporting aggregate statistics in an internal dashboard).

Our use of data obtained via the Restricted Scopes comply with these requirements:

  • Limit our use of data to providing or improving user-facing features that are prominent in the requesting application's user interface. All other uses of the data are prohibited;
  • Only transfer the data to others if necessary to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent in the requesting application's user interface. We may also transfer data as necessary to comply with applicable law or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with notice to users. All other transfers or sales of the user data are prohibited;
  • We don't use or transfer the data for serving ads, including retargeting, personalized, or interest-based advertising; and
  • We don't allow humans to read the data, unless
    • We have first obtained the user's affirmative agreement to view specific messages, files, or other data, with the limited exception of use cases approved by Google under additional terms applicable to the Nest Device Access program;
    • It is necessary for security purposes (such as investigating a bug or abuse);
    • It is necessary to comply with applicable law; or
    • Our use is limited to internal operations and the data (including derivations) have been aggregated and anonymized.

These prohibitions apply to the raw data obtained from Restricted Scopes and data aggregated, anonymized, or derived from them. We ensure that our employees, agents, contractors, and successors comply with this Google API Services: User Data Policy.
