Overview

Windblock is a Google Calendar™ add-on that creates and updates calendar events based on public wind forecasts. We request only the access required to function. Processing runs in your Google account; we don’t export your calendar data to our servers.

Google Data Access (Scopes & purposes)

Windblock uses these Google permissions for the reasons below:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.addons.execute — display and run the sidebar UI in Google Calendar™.
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.locale — format dates/times and language appropriately.
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.external_request — fetch public weather and ZIP geocoding data (e.g., Visual Crossing and Zippopotam).
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.storage — store your settings (location, wind threshold, hours, days ahead, paused) in Apps Script properties within your Google account.
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar — create/update/remove 1-hour events in a dedicated calendar named “Windblock”, and create that calendar if needed.
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.scriptapp — schedule an automatic refresh roughly every 4 hours (you can pause/resume).

Data we access

• Windblock calendar only: Windblock creates/updates one-hour events in your “Windblock” calendar. Other calendars aren’t modified.
• Your settings: location (ZIP or lat/lon), wind threshold (mph), hours window, days ahead, and whether auto-refresh is paused.
• Weather data: public forecasts and ZIP geocoding used to decide when to add or remove events. No personal calendar data is sent to weather providers.

Data we do not collect

• We don’t export your calendar contents to external servers.
• We don’t sell or share personal data with third parties.
• We don’t read or modify your non-Windblock calendars.
• We don’t include third-party trackers in the add-on UI.

How your data is used

Your settings and public forecasts are used to create/update Windblock events. If a later forecast drops below your threshold, related events may be removed. An automatic refresh runs about every 4 hours; you can also click Refresh manually or Pause/Resume auto-refresh from the sidebar.

Retention & deletion

Your settings remain in Apps Script properties until you change them or uninstall. The sidebar’s Uninstall… flow lets you disable the trigger, clear events, and/or delete the Windblock calendar (subject to Google API permissions). You can revoke access any time from your Google Account permissions.

Security

Windblock runs on Google Apps Script and uses Google Calendar™ APIs under your Google account. We do not operate external databases of your calendar data.

Changes

If this policy changes, we’ll update the date above. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
