Google, Microsoft & Connected Account Data
Häuses may allow you to sign in with, connect to, import from, export to, or automate workflows using third-party services such as Google and Microsoft. These integrations are optional unless required for a specific workspace or workflow.
Google data
If you sign in with Google or connect a Google service, we may process information made available by Google and authorised by you or your organisation. Depending on the permissions granted, this may include your name, email address, profile image, account identifier, Google Drive file metadata, Google Drive files you select or make available to Häuses, Google Docs/Sheets/Slides content used for document conversion or workflow automation, and related audit or sync data.
Microsoft, Outlook, and Microsoft 365 data
If you sign in with Microsoft or connect Microsoft services, we may process information made available by Microsoft and authorised by you or your organisation. Depending on the permissions granted, this may include your name, email address, account identifier, Outlook email or calendar data, OneDrive or SharePoint files, Microsoft 365 file metadata, and related sync or workflow data.
How we use connected account data
- To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
- To import, export, store, convert, organise, or display files and documents you choose to use with Häuses.
- To create, update, or sync records, viewings, tasks, calendar events, documents, or communications where you have enabled that workflow.
- To provide support, investigate errors, maintain security, and comply with law.
Limits on use
We only request permissions that are relevant to the feature you are using. We do not sell Google, Microsoft, Outlook, Drive, OneDrive, calendar, or email data. We do not use this data for advertising. We do not allow humans to read the contents of connected account data unless needed to provide support you request, investigate security or abuse issues, comply with law, or where you have given permission.
Häuses’ use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Disconnecting integrations
You can revoke connected account access through your Häuses account settings, your Google Account permissions, your Microsoft Account or Microsoft Entra admin settings, or by contacting us at [email protected]. Disconnecting an integration may stop related workflows from working.

Our Lawful Bases
Under UK GDPR, we rely on different lawful bases depending on the context:
- Contract: to provide Häuses, manage your account, deliver requested features, and process subscriptions or services.
- Legitimate interests: to secure and improve our platform, prevent fraud, support customers, manage business operations, and understand product usage, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Consent: where you choose to connect certain integrations, receive optional marketing, or allow non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent where processing depends on it.
- Legal obligation: where we need to keep records, respond to lawful requests, or comply with tax, accounting, regulatory, or data protection duties.
07
Storage & Security
We use technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
- Encryption in transit using HTTPS/TLS.
- Access controls, authentication, and role-based permissions.
- Logging and monitoring to help detect misuse, errors, and security incidents.
- Backups and recovery processes designed to protect service continuity.
- Limited access to production systems based on business need.
- Use of reputable cloud and infrastructure providers with their own security controls.
No internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If you believe your account or data has been compromised, contact us immediately at [email protected].
08
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
- Account information is usually kept while your account remains active.
- Workspace, property, document, lead, and workflow data is kept while needed to provide the service or as instructed by the relevant customer or workspace owner.
- Billing, tax, accounting, and transaction records may be kept for the periods required by law.
- Security logs and audit records may be kept for a limited period to protect the platform and investigate issues.
- Support and correspondence records may be kept to manage our relationship and resolve disputes.
When information is no longer needed, we will delete it, anonymise it, or securely archive it where appropriate. Backup copies may remain for a limited period until overwritten or deleted through normal backup cycles.
09
International Transfers
We are based in the United Kingdom, but some of our providers, systems, or support operations may process information in other countries. Where personal information is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we use appropriate safeguards where required, such as adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, contractual protections, and provider security commitments.

- Ask us to delete personal information in certain circumstances.

Häuses is intended for business and property-related use and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
13
Automated Decision-Making
We may use automation to support workflows, organise information, detect errors, flag security risks, or assist with document and property processes. We do not currently make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects for individuals, unless we tell you otherwise and provide the required protections.
14
