2. Information We Collect
2a. Information You Provide
- Business owners: Name, business name, phone number, email address, and business details submitted during onboarding or via our contact form.
- End customers (chat users): Name, phone number, appointment preferences, and any other details voluntarily shared during a conversation with the AI receptionist.
2b. Google Account Data
When a business owner connects their Google Calendar to NeverMissAChat, we request access to the following Google API scopes:
- calendar.events — to create and manage calendar events (appointment bookings) on behalf of the business owner.

We do not request access to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Contacts, or any other Google services beyond the two scopes listed above.
2c. Usage Data
We may collect anonymized, aggregated analytics about how the service is used (e.g., number of conversations, booking rates) to improve the platform. This data cannot identify individual users.
3. Google API Limited Use Disclosure
NeverMissAChat's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Specifically, we affirm the following with respect to all data obtained through Google APIs:

Restrictions on Use of Google Data

- We do not allow humans to read Google user data except: (a) with the user's explicit prior consent; (b) for security, abuse prevention, or compliance purposes; (c) when required by applicable law; or (d) when data has been aggregated and anonymized such that no individual can be identified.
