Security & calendar access
Couply touches sensitive data, so here's exactly how calendar access works and how we protect it.
Your calendars stay yours
Couply syncs your connected calendars with read access so we can show your day. We never edit or delete events you didn't ask Couply to create. Optional shared-plan sync-out can create (and later remove) plans you explicitly add in Couply onto a Google or Outlook calendar you pick.
Google Tasks: tick things off from Couply
The one exception is Google Tasks. If you connect Google, Couply asks for read/write access to your tasks so that ticking a task off inside Couply also marks it complete in Google. We only mark tasks complete at your request — we don't create or delete your tasks. Your calendar events stay strictly read-only.
You choose what to connect and share
- You pick which calendars to connect — not all of them by default.
- You control which parts of your day are shared with your partner.
- Events marked private in your calendar appear to your partner only as “Busy”, with no title or details.
Works with the providers you use
Couply connects to Google Calendar and Microsoft / Outlook via their official, read-only sign-in, and to iCloud and other calendars via CalDAV. We follow each provider's API rules and request the minimum scopes needed.
How your data is protected
- All traffic is encrypted in transit over HTTPS.
- Provider access tokens are encrypted at rest.
- Access to data is restricted to what's needed to run the service.
Revoking access anytime
You can disconnect a calendar from within Couply at any time. You can also revoke Couply's access directly from your provider:
- Google: Google Account → Security → Your connections to third-party apps
- Microsoft: Microsoft Account → Privacy → Apps and services
When you unpair or delete
Unpairing stops sharing your snapshot with your partner immediately. Deleting your account removes your personal data and revokes stored tokens — see the Privacy Policy for details and timelines.
