3. Google Contacts Information (Optional)
If you choose to connect your Google account, Frenting may access your Google contacts on a read-only basis using Google's People API. This includes both the contacts you have saved and the "other contacts" that Google automatically saves from your interactions (for example, people you have emailed).
- We only request access to contact names and email addresses for the purpose of helping you find and invite friends to use Frenting.
- Frenting does not access Gmail messages, send email through your Google account, access calendars, or collect any other Google account information.
- Contact information retrieved from Google is displayed temporarily to help you select contacts to invite. Frenting does not permanently store your Google contact list.
- Only contacts you choose to invite may result in limited information being stored by Frenting, such as the invited email address.
- You can disconnect Frenting from your Google account at any time through your Google Account permissions.
4. Location Information

- We do not collect or store precise GPS tracking information about your ongoing movements.
5. How We Use Google User Data
Frenting's use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- Google user data is used solely to provide and improve user-facing features within Frenting, including contact selection and invitation tools.
- Frenting does not sell Google user data, use Google user data for advertising purposes, or transfer Google user data to third parties except as necessary to provide the requested functionality.
- Frenting does not allow humans to read your Google user data unless: (i) we first obtain your consent to view specific data; (ii) it is necessary for security purposes or to comply with applicable law; or (iii) the data has been aggregated and anonymized for internal operations.

Frenting relies on third-party service providers to operate portions of the Platform, including:
