Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 28, 2026

Aristide Energy ("Aristide Energy", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information and Google user data that we process.

This Privacy Policy explains how Aristide Energy collects, accesses, uses, stores, shares, protects, and deletes information when you use our website, applications, services, or integrations, including applications that connect to Google services through Google OAuth and Google Workspace APIs.

This Privacy Policy applies to Aristide Energy and services operated through aristideenergy.com.

We may use cookies and similar technologies to collect some of this information.

2. Google Workspace and Google API User Data

Certain Aristide Energy applications or internal business tools may allow users to connect their Google account using Google OAuth.

When you choose to connect a Google account, our application will only request access to Google user data necessary to provide the functionality described to you in the application and on the Google OAuth consent screen.

Access is subject to the permissions you explicitly approve.

Google User Data We May Access

Depending on the Google OAuth permissions requested by the application, Google user data may include:

Google Account Information

We may access basic Google account information such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Google account identifier
  • Basic profile information

This information may be used to identify and authenticate the user and associate the Google account with the relevant Aristide Energy application or service.

Gmail Data

If Gmail permissions are requested and expressly authorised by the user, the application may access email-related information necessary to provide its stated functionality, which may include:

  • Email messages
  • Email metadata
  • Sender and recipient information
  • Subject lines
  • Message content
  • Email attachments
  • Labels or related Gmail information

Gmail data is accessed only when required to provide the user-facing functionality for which the user granted permission.

Other Google Workspace Data

If additional Google Workspace permissions are required in the future, the application will access only the information specifically authorised by the user through Google's OAuth consent process and only for the functionality communicated to the user.

Aristide Energy does not access Google user data beyond the permissions that the user has granted.

3. How We Use Google User Data

Google user data accessed through our application is used solely to provide or improve the user-facing functionality for which the user granted access.

Depending on the functionality being used, this may include:

  • Authenticating a user through their Google account
  • Identifying the authorised user
  • Providing requested Google Workspace integrations
  • Reading or processing authorised information required to perform a user-requested action
  • Creating, updating, or managing authorised information where requested by the user
  • Providing application features requested by the user
  • Maintaining application security and preventing unauthorised access
  • Troubleshooting and supporting the integration
  • Improving functionality directly related to the application's user-facing features

Google user data is not used for unrelated purposes.

4. Google API Services User Data Policy

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

In particular, Google user data obtained through Google Workspace APIs is used only to provide or improve appropriate user-facing features of our application.

We do not use Google Workspace API data for:

  • Targeted advertising
  • Personalised advertising
  • Retargeting
  • Interest-based advertising
  • Selling user information
  • Selling data to data brokers
  • Providing information to information resellers
  • Determining creditworthiness
  • Lending decisions
  • Creating unrelated user databases
  • Any purpose unrelated to the functionality authorised by the user

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

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

Google Workspace user data is not transferred to third parties for the purpose of training general-purpose AI or machine-learning models.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Google User Data

We do not sell Google user data.

We do not rent Google user data.

We do not disclose Google user data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

Google user data may only be disclosed in limited circumstances, including:

Service Providers

We may use trusted service providers that perform technical functions required to operate the application, such as:

  • Cloud hosting
  • Infrastructure
  • Data storage
  • Application security
  • Error monitoring
  • Technical support

Such providers may process data only to the extent necessary to provide services on our behalf and are required to protect the information appropriately.

With Your Direction or Consent

We may disclose information where you explicitly instruct or authorise us to do so.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information where required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, subpoenas, or valid requests from government authorities.

Business Transactions

Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of business assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection requirements.

We do not transfer Google user data to third parties for purposes unrelated to providing or improving the functionality authorised by the user.

6. Storage and Protection of Google User Data

We implement reasonable administrative, organisational, and technical safeguards designed to protect information against:

  • Unauthorised access
  • Unauthorised disclosure
  • Alteration
  • Loss
  • Misuse
  • Destruction

Where appropriate, security controls may include:

  • Encryption during transmission using HTTPS/TLS
  • Restricted access to systems and information
  • Authentication and access controls
  • Secure hosting infrastructure
  • Monitoring and logging
  • Access limited to personnel or service providers who require it for legitimate operational purposes

While we take reasonable steps to protect information, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Retention of Google User Data

We retain Google user data only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the functionality requested by the user, meet legitimate operational requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, or comply with legal obligations.

Where Google user data only needs to be processed temporarily to perform a user-requested action, we do not retain it longer than necessary for that purpose.

When stored Google user data is no longer required for the authorised purpose, we will delete or anonymise it unless retention is required by applicable law.

We periodically review information retained by our systems and remove information when it is no longer required.

8. Revoking Google Account Access

Users may revoke our application's access to their Google account at any time through their Google Account security settings.

Revoking access prevents our application from obtaining new Google user data using that authorisation.

Revoking Google OAuth access does not necessarily automatically delete information that was previously stored by the application. Users may separately request deletion of previously stored information as described below.

9. Requesting Deletion of Google User Data

You may request deletion of personal information or Google user data stored by Aristide Energy by contacting:

Email: info@aristideenergy.com

Please include sufficient information for us to identify the relevant account or integration.

After receiving and verifying a valid deletion request, we will delete or anonymise the applicable personal information within a reasonable period, except where we are legally required or otherwise permitted to retain certain information.

Residual copies may temporarily remain in secure backup systems until those backups are overwritten or deleted according to our standard backup lifecycle.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in circumstances where such collection is not permitted, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.

17. Third-Party Services and Websites

Our website and services may contain links to third-party websites or integrate with third-party services.
