Google Calendar privacy notice
Updated 16 September 2026
Dimitris M. Lochias LLC operates this private case-management application for authorised firm staff. This notice explains its Google Calendar connection. For questions or requests about this connection, contact dimitris@lochias.com.
Information accessed and used
With the account holder’s permission, the application reads the list of calendars they can write to, so a firm administrator can select the firm diary. Google’s permission covers events across the connected account’s calendars. The application uses the selected diary for its own hearing and deadline entries; it does not import personal calendar events into case files.
The application sends the case title, hearing or deadline title, date and time, duration, recorded court location, court case number, recorded judge's name, responsible lawyer’s colour and the instruction to disable event reminders to Google Calendar. It also sends internal identifiers to match each entry to its case-management record. Changes in the application update these entries; cancelling or completing an entry removes its corresponding Google event.
Storage and protection
The application stores the selected calendar’s name and identifier, event-matching identifiers, synchronisation status and Google authorisation tokens in its database on the firm’s DigitalOcean server. Tokens are encrypted by the application, and connections to Google use HTTPS. Staff access to the application requires a firm account.
Google stores the calendar entries in the selected account’s diary. The firm’s encrypted application backups can contain case records and calendar settings or matching identifiers, but exclude Google authorisation tokens. Server-level backups are separate and can contain the server database and configuration.
Sharing and permitted use
Calendar entries are visible to people allowed by that diary’s Google Calendar sharing settings. The firm controls those settings. DigitalOcean hosts the application and Google provides the calendar service. Google data is used to provide and maintain the diary connection, not for advertising, sale or training general-purpose AI models.
The application’s use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Disconnecting and deletion
A firm administrator can disconnect Google in the application’s Settings. This stops synchronisation and deletes the saved Google authorisation tokens from the active application database. The account holder can also revoke access in their Google Account connections.
Disconnecting does not delete events already created in Google Calendar, case records or existing backups. Those need separate handling. To request deletion of stored connection information or assistance with remaining calendar entries, contact the firm at the address above. Any retained backup copies remain subject to the firm’s backup retention arrangements.
