Data You Provide to Us

The following list details the personal data we collect from you and their purpose. We collect this data with your permission and use them only as outlined below.

1. Registration and Authentication
We use Google’s OAuth as a registration and authentication service to our web app. OAuth is a Google property which allows us to identify and provide access to users. We access authentication data stored in these services. We do not gain access to your Google account password when you use the web app.

2. Google Data Handling
We are designed as a Google Workspace Marketplace application, but we cannot access any stored data in your Google email account (_____@gmail.com). Once you install our app via Google Workspace Marketplace, you will be able to log in. We require Superadmin privileges in Google Workspace for domain-wide installation of the web app. Once you install the app, you provide us with relevant permissions to access the data about your company and your users. You can learn more about how data access and permissions work in Google Workspace Marketplace apps here: https://support.google.com/a/answer/176367#reviewDataAccess

We use the Google Workspace Admin platform to push signatures to your employees, and to transfer all relevant information about your company in Google Workspace to our system. We use this information solely for signature management purposes.

To ensure seamless functioning of our application, we access, collect, and store the following data from your Google Workspace Admin account:

• User/Admin profile details: Includes but is not limited to full name, email, phone number, address, and organization name.
• Employee details and users of a domain: Full name, email address, phone number, mailing address, department name, assigned group, and organizational unit of each account in the Google Workspace domain.
• Google Groups: Group names, subscriptions, and membership.
• Organizational units (OUs): We collect names and descriptions of organizational units, their nested hierarchies, and the information about members of organizational units.
• User schemas: We can view certain details (e.g. custom field names and types) of user schemas on your domain.

We do not gain access to the contents of any of your company’s email accounts.

Why We Collect Data from Google and What We Do With It

In order to start accessing and using our web app, you need to initiate a domain-wide install of our app. In order to do so, you must have a Superadmin role in your domain. Once you are a Superadmin, we collect the minimum information needed from your Google Workspace mail account to provide access to and use of the signature management app. We cannot access the contents of your email, and our platform cannot send messages on your behalf. We can only view Gmail settings with restricted access—notably, the settings related to Gmail signature management.

We can do the following with regard to your data:

• View the provisioning of users on your domain, including details such as: name, address, phone number, and metadata.
• The domain-wide install allows our app to view all the users in your domain. If you want to disable our app from accessing the user details of one or more organizational units, you may do so by contacting us. For example, if you are a Superadmin, you may disable our web app from receiving personal data.
• Manage basic mail settings. The web app can modify, reset, and delete signatures.
• You can disallow our app from accessing basic mail settings of some of your users in Google Workspace Marketplace Admin console. Please note that if you do so, you will no longer be able to use our app to update signatures for your domain.
• View the groups, organizational units, user schemas. The app can access this information to allow signature updating for specific groups, organizational units, and users. We (and the app) cannot manage or update group memberships or organizational units.

How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain your data as long as your account with us is active, whether or not you used the app’s functions. If you want us to stop retaining your data, uninstall the HiviewSignature app from Google Workspace Marketplace. After you do so, the Signature Manager for Gmail bot can no longer your users’ Gmail signature settings.

You may contact us any time if you wish to terminate your subscription immediately and delete all the data in your account.
