Google Calendar permissions

When you connect Google Calendar, Park Bench requests specific permissions. Here's exactly what we access and why.

What we request

Read and write access to your Google Calendar events — This lets us:

• Pull your existing events into Park Bench
• Push Park Bench events to your Google Calendar
• Keep both calendars in sync when events are added, edited, or deleted

What we do NOT access

• Your email (Gmail)
• Your contacts
• Your Google Drive files
• Your Google Photos
• Your location history
• Any other Google service

We request the minimum permissions needed for calendar sync — nothing more.

How we use the access

• Your Google connection credentials are stored securely and used only for calendar sync
• We access your primary calendar only — not shared or secondary calendars
• Sync happens automatically whenever changes are made in either app

Revoking access

You can revoke Park Bench's access to your Google Calendar at any time:

From Park Bench:

1. Go to Settings > Calendar Sync
2. Tap Disconnect

From Google:

1. Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions
2. Find Park Bench in the list
3. Click Remove access

Either method stops sync immediately.
