Google OAuth 2.0 Authentication Policy

Effective Date: [Date]

Purpose

This policy outlines the guidelines for the implementation and use of Google OAuth 2.0 authentication within the 2byourbest.com platform. This authentication method ensures secure access to user accounts by utilizing Google credentials for identity verification.

Scope

This policy applies to all users, administrators, and developers accessing or managing the 2byourbest.com platform through Google OAuth 2.0 authentication.

Policy Guidelines

1. User Authentication

Users may authenticate their accounts using Google OAuth 2.0. Credentials are used solely for identity verification and not for accessing or storing personal data without explicit consent.

2. Data Privacy and Security

All user data obtained through Google OAuth 2.0 will comply with 2byourbest.com's Privacy Policy and Google’s API Services User Data Policy. No sensitive or unnecessary data (e.g., Google account password) will be collected or stored.

3. Token Management

OAuth tokens will be securely stored and encrypted to prevent unauthorized access. Tokens will only be used to access the minimum data required to deliver services.

4. User Consent

Users will be clearly informed about the data being accessed and must provide explicit consent before connecting their Google account. Consent agreements will comply with applicable regulations, such as GDPR or CCPA, where required.

5. Account Linking

Users are permitted to unlink their Google accounts at any time via their account settings. Upon unlinking, tokens and associated data will be securely deleted.

6. Monitoring and Compliance

The platform will regularly audit OAuth implementation for compliance with security standards and Google’s policies. Any misuse or breach of OAuth authentication will result in immediate corrective actions, including notifying affected users if necessary.

7. Third-Party Access

Third-party applications integrated into the platform will not have direct access to Google OAuth tokens. Third-party integrations must adhere to 2byourbest.com's security and privacy standards.

8. Disabling Access

2byourbest.com reserves the right to disable Google OAuth 2.0 authentication temporarily or permanently if:

  • Security concerns arise.
  • A user violates the Terms of Service.
  • Non-compliance with Google’s policies is detected.
