Google Sign-In and OAuth Services

We offer the option to register and authenticate your account using Google Sign-In (OAuth 2.0) provided by Google LLC. When you choose to authenticate using Google Sign-In, we may request access to certain information from your Google account, including but not limited to your name, email address, and profile information, subject to your explicit consent and authorisation.

With your explicit permission and consent, we may access calendar data associated with your Google account solely for the purpose of identifying locations you have previously visited, as reflected in your calendar entries. This access is strictly limited to compiling a list of locations for the purpose of enhancing your user experience on our platform. We do not use, process, store, or share calendar data for any other purpose whatsoever. Calendar data is accessed only with your express consent and you may revoke this access at any time through your Google account settings or by contacting us directly.

All data accessed through Google Sign-In is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and Google's own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We recommend that you review Google's privacy practices to understand how they collect, use, and protect your data when you use their authentication services.

Google Maps and Places API

Our Services utilise Google Maps Platform APIs, including Google Maps and Google Places API, provided by Google LLC, to facilitate location search functionality and to enhance your search experience. These services enable us to provide you with location-based search results and relevant information about venues and places of interest.

When you use our location search features, location data (such as search queries for places, addresses, or venues) may be transmitted to Google in order to generate search results. This location data is used exclusively for the purpose of providing you with location search functionality and improving your search experience on our platform. We do not use location data obtained through Google Maps or Places API for any alternative or secondary purposes, including but not limited to tracking, profiling, marketing, or analytics beyond the immediate provision of search results.

The use of Google Maps and Places API is subject to Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. By using our location search features, you acknowledge and agree that location data may be processed by Google in accordance with their own privacy practices and terms.

Location Data and Route Information

When you explicitly request route information or directions to a specific location through our Services, we may process location data solely for the purpose of facilitating such requests. In such circumstances, you will be redirected to Google Maps or similar third-party mapping services, which will handle the routing and navigation functionality independently.

We do not collect, store, or process your real-time or current location data. We do not track your location continuously or in the background. Location data is only utilised when you explicitly request route information, and such data is not retained or stored on our systems after the request has been fulfilled or you have been redirected to the third-party mapping service.

Any location data that may be processed in connection with route requests is used exclusively for the purpose of providing you with the requested routing functionality and is not used for any other purpose, including but not limited to location tracking, analytics, advertising, or profiling.

Data that is collected automatically

To the extent that you access our website and web app, we will collect your Data automatically, for example:

• we automatically collect some information about your visit to the website or web app. This information helps us to make improvements to website or web app content and navigation, and includes your IP address, the date, times and frequency with which you access the website or web app and the way you use and interact with its content.
• we will collect your Data automatically via cookies, in line with the cookie settings on your browser. For more information about cookies, and how we use them on the Website, see the section below, headed "Cookies".

As set forth in the sections above regarding Google Maps, Places API, and Route Information, we do not automatically track or collect your real-time or current location data without your explicit request.

Our use of Data

Any or all of the above Data may be required by us from time to time in order to provide you with the best possible service and experience when using our Website. Specifically, Data may be used by us for the following reasons:

• internal record keeping;
• improvement of our products / services;
• transmission by email of marketing materials that may be of interest to you;
• in each case, in accordance with this privacy policy.

We may use your Data for the above purposes if we deem it necessary to do so for our legitimate interests. If you are not satisfied with this, you have the right to object in certain circumstances (see the section headed "Your rights" below).

For the delivery of direct marketing to you via e-mail, we'll need your consent, whether via an opt-in or soft-opt-in:

• soft opt-in consent is a specific type of consent which applies when you have previously engaged with us (for example, you contact us to ask us for more details about a particular product/service, and we are marketing similar products/services). Under "soft opt-in" consent, we will take your consent as given unless you opt-out.
• for other types of e-marketing, we are required to obtain your explicit consent; that is, you need to take positive and affirmative action when consenting by, for example, checking a tick box that we'll provide.
• if you are not satisfied with our approach to marketing, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. To find out how to withdraw your consent, see the section headed "Your rights" below.

When you register with us and set up an account to receive our services, the legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract between you and us and/or taking steps, at your request, to enter into such a contract.

Transfers outside the United Kingdom and European Economic Area

Data which we collect from you may be stored and processed in and transferred to countries outside of the UK and European Economic Area (EEA).

We also share information with our group companies, some of which are located outside the UK or EEA.

We will only transfer Data outside the UK or EEA where it is compliant with data protection legislation and the means of transfer provides adequate safeguards in relation to your data, eg by way of data transfer agreement, incorporating the current standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.

To ensure that your Data receives an adequate level of protection, we have put in place appropriate safeguards and procedures with the third parties we share your Data with. This ensures your Data is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with the Data Protection Laws.
