Integrations and Privacy

Understand how Sunsama integrates with your tools, what permissions we request, and what we do with the data.

We use broad language in our privacy policy regarding how we utilize third party services.

For primary integrations (e.g. calendar, email, task management integrations), we take special care with how we handle that data.

All of our integrations follow roughly the same principles, with any exceptions detailed below:

Only request data that's needed to provide user-facing features: We limit the usage of our data to specifically what you see and use in the app. We request the minimum authorization scopes needed to retrieve this data.

Limit data that's stored on our servers to the bare minimum: We don't store any information about the contents of your 3rd party data on our servers or databases or share this data with any of the analytics tools that we use. We store only the tokens needed to request data that's initiated by your in-app actions. The data that's shown in the app is only being stored in the client's browser cache, and isn't accessible outside of your session.

Do not share 3rd party data with people who don't already have access to it: If you use Sunsama as part of a shared workspace with other users, your 3rd party data will not be visible to other people in your workspace unless they already have access via the 3rd party service. For example, your calendar events won't be visible to other people in your workspace unless you've already shared your calendar with them via Google Calendar. The only exception is that if you create tasks in Sunsama via importing from a 3rd party integration, the title of those tasks will be visible to other users in your workspace.

Google Calendar integration

Authentication and scopes

We use Google Calendar's OAuth 2.0 flow for authenticating and authorizing all calendar requests.

We request the minimum scopes required to:

  • View and edit calendar events across all of the calendars you have access to

calendar.events

calendar.readonly

Data storage

We store the following calendar related data:

  • Authorization tokens needed to make API requests
  • The list of calendars you have access to, and basic details about each calendar, so that you can choose which calendars you want to view within Sunsama

We do not store copies of your calendar events in our database. All of the calendar event data is fetched by the client, and stored only in the client cache. Calendar event data is not stored in a Sunsama database. The only exception is if you import calendar events (in that case we copy the title, location, invitees, and description) or add data to calendar events that can't be stored in Google Calendar (for example, meeting notes). In this case, we'll store a copy of the event details in our database to preserve the custom Sunsama content linked to it.

Gmail integration

Authentication and scopes

We use Gmail's OAuth 2.0 flow for authenticating and authorizing all email requests.

We request the minimum scopes required to:

  • Browse your emails

Data storage

We store the following email related data:

  • Authorization tokens needed to make API requests

We do not store copies of your emails in our database. All of the email event data is fetched by the client, and stored only in the client cache. Email data is not stored in a Sunsama database.

Third Party Security Assessment

In order to provide an integration with Gmail, we remain in compliance with Google's OAuth Verification Standard. Our app and infrastructure have been reviewed by an independent security assessor. This assessment helps keep Google users’ data safe by verifying that Sunsama demonstrates a minimum level of capability in handling data securely and deleting user data upon user request. If you'd like a copy of our third party security assessment, you can reach out to us at [email protected].

Outlook Calendar integration

Calendar event data is not stored in a Sunsama database. The only exception is if you import calendar events (in that case we copy the title, location, invitees, and description) or add data to calendar events that can't be stored in Outlook Calendar (for example, meeting notes). In this case, we'll store a copy of the event details in our database to preserve the custom Sunsama content linked to it.

GitHub Scopes

Unfortunately, in order to simply view all of your Github Issues, the only scope that Github provides is the repo scope. Regrettably, this scope is quite broad and also grants an application access to a variety of other data (that we don't actually use).

We're hopeful that one day Github will release more granular scopes that will allow us to access to what we need without also gaining access to sensitive items, like those that you mentioned.

Data storage

We store the following GitHub related data:

  • Authorization tokens needed to make API requests

We do not store any of your issues/PRs in our database. All of the issue/PR data is fetched by the client, and stored only in the client cache. Issue/PR data is not stored in a Sunsama database.

This token allows Sunsama's integration the same permissions to your Monday workspace as your user account. In other words, it can only see/edit what you can see/edit when logged in and doesn't have access to things in the workspace you could not edit yourself.
