To our knowledge, the referrer URL, the IP address, the behaviour of the website visitors, information about the operating system, browser and length of stay, cookies, display instructions and scripts, user input behaviour and mouse movements in the “reCAPTCHA” checkbox are conveyed to “Google.”

Google uses the information obtained, among other things, to digitize books and other printed matter as well as to optimize services such as Google Street View and Google Maps (e.g. house number and street name recognition).

The IP address provided as part of “reCAPTCHA” is not merged with other data from Google unless you are logged into your Google Account at the time the "reCAPTCHA" plug-in is used.

Meeting Room Schedule APP Audience

The Meeting Room Schedule is an app for displaying calendar content on a mounted tablet device suitable for meeting rooms or just for displaying any calendar. It enables anyone in a company or organization to see the schedule of a meeting room instantly. It’s perfect for organizations where meetings are occurring on on-going basis and the location collisions are a part of everyday business life.


The use of Google API Services

On our Android app, Meeting Room Schedule, we are requesting to connect to the user’s Google calendar or Google Workspace (formerly G-Suite) resource calendar to start operating the door display (mounted tablet).The Meeting Room Schedule app requests the read access because the display can show the available details of the meeting events (room reservations) like start time, end time, subject and list of attendees. The app requests the write access for the Google calendar because the meeting events (room reservations) can be created, extended and released directly from the door display (mounted tablet). For example, a so called “walk-in booking” can be created at the door of the mooting room. Our app can be used for meeting rooms or just for displaying any business related calendar. Consider using it for managing shared resources like equipment, team calendars, customer appointments or announcements of major events like corporate town hall meetings.


Request relevant permissions

The Meeting Room Schedule app requests the permission of few sensitive scopes which are really required by the app in order to function properly. The app needs to read and edit the events on the calendar from the app so the .../auth/calendar permission is required (i.e. Google Workspace (formerly G-Suite) admin connects room calendars).

The display shows users all their available calendars to choose from so the .../auth/calendar.calendarlist permission is required. A narrower scope would not be sufficient because users cannot choose among their calendars.

The app allows users to view and edit the events on all of their calendars so the .../auth/calendar.events permission is required.

A narrower scope would not be sufficient because users cannot edit the event like extending the duration of the event (i.e. extend a meeting from the meeting room door display). The app also needs the access to delete the events in order to remove the events created by accident or the remove events that are cancelled (i.e. on the meeting room door display). To add this functionality in the app the .../auth/calendar.events.owned permission is required.


The authorized use of Google cloud services

The Meeting Room Schedule app uses cloud-based Google Firebase as a database to store the required data. The major functionality provided by the database is to provide the admin center to easily manage the settings of multiple displays (i.e. meeting room door displays) at the same time. The admin can modify several settings of the displays including background picture, logo, fonts color and size, the language and orientation of the app etc. The database doesn’t store the data of the user related to the calendar events. The Meeting Room Schedule is a native Android app which requires and Android running device to install and run the app.


Security regarding Google API Services

The Meeting Room Schedule app follows the guidelines to protect the use of Google API Services against unauthorized access. The Google calendar connection uses OAuth 2.0 to authorize the user before allowing the access to the calendar and the user credentials are not saved in the app. Moreover the Google API keys are encrypted in order to prevent the unlawful access.


Sign In and Visitor Register APP Audience

This is a digital solution for processing employee and visitor in-/out streams in companies. The tablet works as an unstaffed self-service reception OR reduces the load of the staff. In a staffed reception, the waiting time for the visitors is reduced due to the prior completion of formalities. The app provides visitor registration with contact details and notification of the visitee. The company can provide visitor policies (emergencies, COVID19 rules, etc.) which must be agreed by the visitor for successful registration. Employees can log in and out with their NFC tags*. Your assigned staff can do further sign-outs outside at the assembly point. The app triggers emails warning your individual employees and notifying supervisors which provides the protection of lone workers. *Using NFC/RFID tags/fobs requires tablets with built-in readers or the integration of external readers.


The authorized use of Google cloud services

The Sign In and Visitor Register app uses cloud-based Google Firebase as a database to store the required data. The major functionality provided by the database is to provide the admin center to easily manage all the settings, style customization and functionality through admin website of individual/multiple displays (i.e. sign in and visitor register displays) at the same time. The admin can modify several settings of the displays including background picture, logo, fonts color and size, the language and orientation of the app etc.


Functionality

The database only stores the data which is required for proper functionality of the app. Only the admin can access and upload all the data of the employees to the admin website. The app needs this data to allow employees to easily sign in/out through the app. The employees see their names as a dropdown list as soon as they start entering their names, so they can easily select from the list. The required data of the employees contains full name, email address, lunch hour and office closing hour. The visitor’s data is also stored in the database to provide the auto fill functionality for the next time when he visits the company. The visitor has to provide his full name, email address and company name, after accepting the visitor’s agreement, and select a visitee who is present in the building in order to sign in. The visitee then gets the email that his visitor has arrived. The email contains visitor’s full name, email address, company name and entry time. The functionality of sending emails can be switched off through the admin website. The app shows the information of sign in people including name, entry date and time, company name of visitors and entry type. The app also shows the complete log of up to 1000 entries of sign in/out people including in/out status, in/out date and time, entry type, name and company name of visitors. This information can be protected by password so that only admin can see it.


Security regarding Google API Services

The Sign In and Visitor Register app follows the guidelines to protect the use of Google API Services against unauthorized access. The app provides the registration functionality through google sign in which uses OAuth 2.0 to authorize the user before allowing the access and the user credentials are not saved in the app. Moreover the Google API keys are encrypted in order to prevent the unlawful access.


Information/Cancellation/Deletion
