Privacy Policy
Who we are and what this privacy policy covers
Year Glance Pty Ltd knows you care about your privacy and information security. Your privacy is important to us and this privacy policy explains the personal information we collect, how we process it, and for what purposes.
To make this policy easy to find, we make it available from the home page of the Year Glance website at yearglance.com And if you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us.
Applicability of the privacy policy
This privacy policy applies to all information we collect through our web services and mobile applications from Year Glance Pty Ltd .
Throughout this policy, we use the term “personal information” to describe the information that you provide to us which identifies you, such as your name, email address, billing information or other data that can be reasonably linked to the information associated with your Year Glance account. Anonymised information is not considered as personal information because such information doesn’t identify a specific user.
The information we collect
Information you create or provide to us
We encrypt every data transmission containing personal data using Secure Socket Layer technology (SSL).
- Registration information
When you create a Year Glance account, you provide us with your information including your name, email address, and a password. We do not ask for any unnecessary information. The data that we request at the time of registration is necessary for the provision of our services and support.
- Billing information
You may choose to provide payment information for a premium Year Glance plan. Your payment details such as payment card details are collected via secure payment processing services are not stored with Year Glance. This data is necessary to provide you with premium Year Glance services.
If you respond to a survey, we collect the information you provide to us.
Information we collect as you use our services
When you log in and use Year Glance, our server collects the log & device data including your device model, operating system, browser type, IP address, system activity, date, time, or location. The device data including IP address and browser user agent are collected to help spam/fraud detection or prevention.
- App authorisation
Users can connect their third party calendars with Year Glance limited permissions to Google & Outlook. We use OAuth API verification as a verified application.
OAuth is an open-standard authorisation protocol to allow you as a user to approve Year Glance as the service provider or the application to interact with other applications including your calendar(s) on your behalf without providing your password. This significantly minimises security risks for both users and service providers by using authorisation tokens to prove identity. We gather very limited information and no event information from your calendar connections.
- Calendar data
Year Glance provides the connection and access token to your third party calendars. Year Glance stores the ID and name of your third party calendars but does not access or store any calendar event data.
In other words, we never know your availability, your events or any other calendar details.
Users can remove the access token and permission to third party calendars via Year Glance or the Google / Microsoft Outlook account and security pages.

If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
- Access logs

This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses as well as browser type, operating system, identification numbers associated with your devices, time of access, and error logs.
