Google Integration

Integration with Google Calendar is the core feature of the app. It requires the following permissions to connect your Atlassian account with Google:

  • View and edit events on all your calendars.
  • See and download any calendar you can access using your Google Calendar.

App accesses and uses the following Google data for display purposes:

  • Google Calendar event details (name, description, dates, time, type…)
  • Google Calendars list (names, Ids, access level)

App stores the following data retrieved from Google services:

  • EventID and CalendarID for each event created within the app;
  • CalendarIDs for Jira project ↔︎ calendar mapping;
  • Access token.

App does not store any additional event data (like name, description, time etc.) or calendar data (events created outside of the app). Events data is retrieved through the secure middle-ware from Google directly, on every app view.

SUB-PROCESSOR – providers with this label are our data sub-processors as defined by European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Firebase 

SUB-PROCESSOR  Google Firebase is a real-time shared database. We use it to store calendar events mapping data per Jira instance & issue.

Stored data
  • Jira tenant Id
  • Jira client key
  • Jira project Id
  • Jira user account id
  • Google calendar Id & event Id
  • Access token for Google API
  • State of Google API authorization
  • User analytics setting (on / off)
Security

Firebase database is secured using Firebase security rules. Each user in your Jira instance has access to all data listed in section Stored data for all your Jira issues except “Authorization State & Access Token“ which is secured per user. Anonymous users and users from different Jira instances do not have access to your data. We also store 30 daily backups of this database.

We store the minimal amount of data needed to provide our service.

We don’t store neither Google Calendar event names and descriptions, nor Jira issue summaries or comments, nor other sensitive information. We don’t store neither users’ full names nor e-mails but we rely on user keys provided by Jira which can contain them.

Bugsnag

SUB-PROCESSOR Bugsnag is a tool for reporting of in-browser errors. It allows us to fix errors before customers report them to us.

Stored data
  • Jira client key
  • Jira issue id
  • User IP address
  • User language
  • User browser information (browser, version, locale, operating system, user agent)

Keen.io Analytics
