Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 4, 2026

This policy explains how Roman Roads ("Roman Roads," "we," "us," or "our") handles your information. It covers our website at romanroads.com and the SkillBridge platform at skillbridge.romanroads.com, including the customer subdomains we host there. We have written it in plain language on purpose. Your data is your business, and you should not need a lawyer to understand what we do with it.

1. Who this policy is for

This policy is for the people who use SkillBridge: the operators who run a business on it and the team members they coordinate. It also covers visitors to romanroads.com. If you buy something from our online store, the purchase itself is also covered by the store privacy policy, which Shopify publishes on our behalf.

2. What we collect

  • Account information — your name, email address, and the organization you belong to, so we can set up and run your account.
  • Availability and scheduling data — the working hours, locations, bookings, and assignment details you enter into the platform.
  • Google account data — only if you choose to connect a Google Calendar. Section 3 explains exactly what that means.
  • Payment information — handled by our payment processor. We do not store full card numbers on our systems.
  • Technical data — the log, cookie, and device information we need to keep the platform running, secure, and working correctly.

3. Google user data and Google API Services

Connecting a Google Calendar is optional. There are two separate connections. Each one is authorized on its own, and each one asks only for the access it genuinely needs.

  • Availability calendar (team members) — a team member can connect their own Google Calendar so SkillBridge can read their busy times and keep their availability accurate. This is what prevents double bookings. This connection is read-only.
  • Meeting host calendar (organizations) — an organization admin can connect one shared calendar that SkillBridge uses to create the calendar events and video meeting links for sessions booked on the platform. This connection needs write access, and we use it only to create and manage those booking events.

3.1 The Google data we access, and why

  • Calendar events, read access — for an availability connection, so we can work out when you are busy and offer only the times you are actually free.
  • Calendar events, write access — for a meeting host connection only, so we can create, update, and cancel the calendar events and video meeting links for sessions booked through SkillBridge. We do not use this access to read or change unrelated events.
  • Your email address — so we know which Google account you connected and can show it back to you in the app.

In short, we request this access for one purpose: scheduling meetings and bookings on your behalf inside SkillBridge.

3.2 What we actually store

We keep as little as possible. From an availability calendar we store only the start and end times of your busy periods. We do not store event titles, descriptions, attendees, locations, video links, or attachments. For a meeting host connection we store only the identifiers of the booking events that SkillBridge itself created, so we can update or cancel them later.

3.3 We do not sell or transfer Google user data

We do not sell, rent, or trade Google user data. We do not use it for advertising, and we do not use it to build profiles or train AI models. We transfer it only where it is necessary to provide the scheduling features you asked for, to comply with the law, or as part of a security investigation.

3.4 How we protect it

Google credentials are encrypted at rest. Calendar data travels over encrypted connections, and access is limited to what is needed to run the platform.

3.5 Keeping it, and taking it back

You can disconnect a Google account at any time from inside SkillBridge. When you do, we stop syncing, delete the stored busy times for that account, and deactivate the stored credentials. You can also revoke our access directly from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

3.6 Limited Use

SkillBridge's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

You can read that policy at developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy.

4. Cookies and sessions

We use cookies to keep you signed in, to remember your preferences, and to keep the platform secure. Some are strictly necessary, which means the platform will not work without them. You can block cookies in your browser, but parts of the service will stop working if you do.

5. The companies that help us run this

We use a small number of trusted providers, and we share only what each one needs to do its job. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

  • Stripe — payment processing. Stripe handles card details directly under its own privacy policy.
  • Postmark — transactional email, such as booking confirmations and account notices.
  • Google Cloud — hosting and infrastructure for the platform.
  • Shopify — hosting for the romanroads.com website and store.

6. How we use information generally

Beyond the Google specifics above, we use the information we collect to run, secure, and improve the platform, to confirm it is really you, to communicate with you about the service, and to meet our legal obligations.

7. How long we keep it

We keep account and scheduling data for as long as your account is active, or as long as we need it to provide the service. Busy times pulled from Google are kept only while that calendar connection is active, and they are deleted when you disconnect. When you close your account, we delete or anonymize your data unless we are required to keep it.

8. Your choices and rights

You can view or update your account information, disconnect any connected calendar, or ask us to delete your account. Just email us at the address below. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under the privacy laws that apply to you, and we will honor them.

9. Children

SkillBridge is not built for or directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we change something that matters, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where it makes sense, tell you inside the app.
