Who Can See What
What happens if I use Sync Contacts?
Only if you choose Sync Contacts and grant permission on Google's own screen. GoodSpace then reads names, email addresses and phone numbers from your contacts, to show who is already on GoodSpace and to let you invite people.
The short version
- Only with consent
- Nothing happens until you grant it on Google's authorisation screen
- What is read
- Names, email addresses and phone numbers from your contacts and other contacts
- What is not read
- The contents of your emails, your files, or any other Google data
- What it is used for
- Showing who is already on GoodSpace, suggesting connections and letting you invite people
- Advertising
- Your contacts are never used for advertising or marketing
Take the permission back
- Decline in the first place
You can refuse on Google's own screen, and the feature simply does not run.
- Or revoke it later
Google lets you remove an app's access from your own Google account security settings at any time.
- Ask about the data already held
