Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 16, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to Usoro ("us", "we", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered study automation platform (the "Service").

Use of Google Calendar API Data

To provide its core functionality, Usoro uses the Google Calendar API to schedule Google Meet study sessions on your behalf. Our use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

What We Access

We request permission to access your Google Calendar to:

  • View your calendar's free/busy information: This allows our AI to find available time slots for your study sessions without needing to see the details of your private events.
  • Create new events: This allows us to schedule the Google Meet study sessions directly onto your calendar.

How We Use It

The access is used exclusively to find open time slots and schedule the study sessions you request through our platform. We use this data to provide a direct benefit to you by automating your study schedule.

We do not read, process, or store the details (like titles, descriptions, or attendees) of your personal, unrelated calendar events. Your calendar data is never used for advertising purposes.

AI-Powered Features

Our platform uses artificial intelligence to analyze your study patterns and provide personalized recommendations. This includes:

  • Analyzing study session effectiveness and engagement
  • Generating personalized study schedules and recommendations
  • Identifying optimal study times based on your performance data
  • Providing insights to maximize your studying efficiency

All AI processing is designed to enhance your learning experience while maintaining the privacy and security of your data.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With your consent: When you explicitly authorize us to share specific information.
  • Service Providers: With third-party vendors who help us operate our platform (e.g., hosting services like Vercel or AWS). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data. Our connection to Google is for API access only, as described above.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
  • Study Partners: We share Google Meet links and session details with participants you invite to your study sessions.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel.

Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your personal information:

  • Access, review, and correct your account information.
  • Delete your account and associated Usoro data.
  • Revoke Google API access at any time through your Google account security settings. Revoking access will prevent us from scheduling future study sessions.

Data Retention

We retain the information you provide to us (such as your account and academic goals) for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we will delete this information from our production systems within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal or security purposes. We do not retain your Google Calendar data.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
