Vera ("we", "our", "us") is a Google Business Profile management service operated by magicpin. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use Vera through WhatsApp, web, or any other channel.
Account & Authentication:
Google Business Profile Data:
Usage Data:
We use your information to:
We do not sell or rent your data to any third parties.
Vera accesses your Google Business Profile through the Google Business Profile API using the business.manage OAuth scope. This access is used exclusively to:
We access your Google Business Profile data only after your explicit consent via Google's OAuth consent screen. All actions on your profile (posting replies, creating posts) require your approval before execution.
When you choose to connect your Google account to import customers, Vera reads (read-only) two categories of data via Google's People API:
contacts.readonly — contacts you have explicitly saved in your Google account (name and phone number only).contacts.other.readonly — contacts auto-saved by Gmail from your email interactions (name and phone number only).After consent, an in-app selection screen lets you pick which contacts are actually your customers. Contacts you do not select are discarded server-side and never persisted. Only the names and phone numbers you select are saved to your private customer list and used solely to send WhatsApp marketing messages to those customers.
We do not write, modify, or delete anything in your Google account. We do not share, sell, or use this contact data for advertising. Imported names and phone numbers are encrypted at rest.
You can revoke Google Contacts access at any time by tapping Disconnect Vera inside the app — which removes all imported contacts on our side — or via your standard Google account permissions page at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Our next sync attempt detects the revocation and stops accessing your Google account.
AI/ML use of Google data. The use of raw or derived user data received from Google Workspace APIs will adhere to the Google User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not retain, use, or transfer Google user data — whether raw, aggregated, anonymized, or derived — to develop, improve, or train any generalized AI or ML models. Vera uses a third-party AI provider (Anthropic Claude) elsewhere in the product, but it never receives any data imported from your Google account.
Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:
We may share your information only in the following cases:
You have the right to:
Vera is designed for business owners and is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of Vera after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
