7. Google Workspace Add-on and Google User Data

This section applies only if you install the MiCompress Google Workspace Add-on for Google Docs and Google Slides. It describes how the add-on accesses, uses, stores and shares Google user data, and it governs in the event of any conflict with the rest of this policy.

What the add-on accesses

The add-on requests these OAuth scopes, and no others:

• .../auth/documents.currentonly and .../auth/presentations.currentonly — access is limited to the single document or presentation you have open while the add-on is running. The add-on cannot see, list or open any other file in your Google Drive.
• .../auth/script.external_request — allows the add-on to send an image to our compression service.

Within that one open file, the add-on reads only the embedded images. It does not read, transmit or store your document's text, comments, speaker notes, revision history, or file name.

How the data is used

Each image is sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection to our compression endpoint, compressed, and returned to the add-on, which writes the smaller image back in place of the original. The image is used for this single purpose and nothing else.

Retention

Images are processed in temporary storage and deleted immediately once the compressed result has been returned — typically within seconds. We do not retain copies, and we do not keep a record of your document's contents. For rate limiting we process an anonymous, non-identifying user token supplied by Google; it is held in memory only and is not linked to your Google account, email address or identity.

Sharing

We do not sell, rent or share Google user data with third parties. Google user data obtained through the add-on is never transferred to advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers, and is never used for advertising, marketing, credit assessment, or any comparable purpose.

Human access

No human at MiCompress reads or reviews your images. Automated processing is the only access, except where you have given explicit consent for us to investigate a specific problem you reported, where it is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, or where we are required by law.

Machine learning

We do not use Google user data to develop, improve or train generalised or non-personalised artificial intelligence or machine learning models.

Limited Use disclosure

MiCompress's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Revoking access

You can revoke the add-on's access at any time by uninstalling it from the Google Workspace Marketplace, or by removing MiCompress at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Because we retain no copies of your images, no deletion request is needed after revoking access.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Request data deletion
• Opt-out of analytics tracking
• Lodge complaints with supervisory authorities
