The data owner of the personal data processed under this Policy is Sole Proprietor Sofiia Skulba, Taxpayer Registration Number: 3860002467.
For the purposes of the GDPR, where applicable, Sole Proprietor Sofiia Skulba is the data controller and determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
We collect and process personal, technical, and other data necessary to operate and improve WikiDu.
The types of information we may collect and process include:
1. Contact Information. When you register with WikiDu, start using a demo version, complete a feedback form, or contact customer support, we may collect your name, email address, and other information that you voluntarily provide. This information is used to manage your account, provide access to WikiDu, respond to your requests, and provide support.
2. Google Drive and Google API Data. If you connect Google Drive to WikiDu, we may receive and process data through Google APIs within the scope you select for use with WikiDu. The categories of data we may process, how such data is obtained, the purposes for which it is processed, and the applicable restrictions on its use are described in detail in the “Use of Google Drive and Google APIs” section of this Policy.
3. Cookies. WikiDu uses cookies and similar technologies. Detailed information about the types of cookies, their purposes, retention periods, and how you can manage them is provided in the Cookie Policy available on the WikiDu website.
4. Communication Records. If you contact WikiDu by email or through other communication channels, we may retain your contact details, communication metadata, and the content of your request to the extent necessary to process your request and provide support.

USE OF GOOGLE DRIVE AND GOOGLE APIs
WikiDu integrates with Google Drive and Google Shared Drives to allow users to connect their own document storage to WikiDu, work with files and folders through the WikiDu interface, search and analyze documents, generate summaries, receive answers to questions, and use other WikiDu features related to working with documents.
1. Connecting Google Drive
Google Drive is connected solely at the user’s initiative.
During the connection process, the user authorizes access through Google OAuth 2.0 and grants WikiDu the permissions necessary to interact with Google Drive.
After successful authorization, the user independently selects, within the WikiDu interface, a specific Google Shared Drive and a specific folder containing the files and subfolders they wish to work with through WikiDu.
After the user confirms the selection, WikiDu may automatically grant its technical Google Service Account wikidu@wikidu.iam.gserviceaccount.com (the “Service Account”) access to the relevant Google Shared Drive through the Google Drive API.
Due to the technical access model of Google Shared Drives, permission for the Service Account may be granted at the level of the entire relevant Shared Drive, even if the user has selected only a specific folder in WikiDu.
Although the technical permission granted to the Service Account may extend to the entire Shared Drive, WikiDu limits the actual reading, synchronization, indexing, modification, and other processing of data exclusively to the folder selected by the user in WikiDu and the files and subfolders within it.
Technical access at the Shared Drive level is used solely to enable the Google Drive integration and does not expand the actual scope of documents processed by WikiDu for the user.
2. Google Drive Data That WikiDu May Process
Within the folder selected by the user, WikiDu may receive and process data necessary to operate the service, including:
- identifiers of Shared Drives, folders, and files;
- names, types, and metadata of files and folders;
- folder structure;
- information necessary to determine file access and location;
- the contents of documents and other supported files;
- data obtained or generated as a result of document processing, including extracted text, document fragments, search indexes, vector representations, summaries, answers, and other results of automated analysis;
- OAuth tokens, technical identifiers, and other authorization data necessary to operate the Google integration.
WikiDu processes such data only to the extent necessary to provide the functionality used by the user.
3. Purpose of Using Google Drive Data
WikiDu uses information obtained through the Google Drive API exclusively to provide WikiDu functionality.
Such functionality includes connecting the Google Drive folder selected by the user, retrieving and reading documents, synchronizing and indexing their content, searching for information, analyzing documents, generating summaries, generating answers to questions, comparing documents, and managing files and folders through WikiDu Data Manager.
WikiDu does not use Google Drive data for advertising, marketing, retargeting, or other purposes not directly related to providing WikiDu functionality.
The provisions of this Policy concerning advertising, marketing, behavioral profiling, or other similar uses of personal data do not apply to data obtained by WikiDu through the Google Drive API.
4. WikiDu Data Manager
After connecting Google Drive, the user may use WikiDu Data Manager to work with files and folders within the connected scope.
Depending on the available functionality, the user may view and read files and folders, analyze documents, edit, rename, move, organize, and delete files and folders, and use documents to search for information, generate summaries and answers to questions, and perform other processing.
Any modification, renaming, moving, or deletion of files and folders is performed through WikiDu functionality based on actions initiated by the user through the WikiDu interface.
WikiDu does not use the granted access permissions to independently edit, move, rename, or delete files or folders outside the scope connected by the user.
5. Use of Artificial Intelligence and Automated Processing Technologies
WikiDu uses artificial intelligence and automated data processing technologies to analyze documents, search for information, generate answers to questions, create summaries, and provide other functionality related to working with documents.
To provide such functionality, WikiDu may use its own technological infrastructure and/or engage third-party technology service providers.
In such cases, only the data or portions of data necessary to perform the specific function used or requested by the user are processed or transferred.
WikiDu does not use, and does not permit its service providers to use, Google Drive data or data derived from it to create, train, or improve general or non-personalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
6. Restrictions on the Use of Google Drive Data
WikiDu does not sell data obtained through the Google Drive API, use it for advertising, retargeting, advertising or marketing profiling, transfer it to data brokers, use it for creditworthiness assessment, or use it for other purposes not directly related to WikiDu functionality.
Such data may be transferred to third parties only to the extent necessary to provide WikiDu functionality used or requested by the user, including to technology service providers, or where necessary for security purposes or to comply with applicable law.
7. Google API Services User Data Policy and Limited Use
WikiDu’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
8. Access to Data by WikiDu Employees and Contractors
WikiDu employees and contractors do not use the contents of user documents for their own purposes and do not routinely conduct manual reviews of such documents.
Human access to such data may occur only where the user has expressly consented to access to specific data for the purpose of resolving a technical support request, where access is necessary to investigate a security incident, fraud, or abuse, where access is necessary to comply with applicable law, or in other circumstances permitted by applicable Google policies.
9. Termination of Access to Google Drive
The user may revoke WikiDu’s OAuth access to their Google Account through the settings of the relevant Google Account.
Because WikiDu may use a Service Account for continued technical interaction with a connected Shared Drive, revoking the user’s OAuth access alone may not terminate access already granted to the Service Account for that Shared Drive.
The user or an authorized administrator of the relevant Google Shared Drive may fully terminate WikiDu’s technical access by removing wikidu@wikidu.iam.gserviceaccount.com from the list of members of the relevant Shared Drive.
After the relevant access is terminated, WikiDu stops receiving new data from that Shared Drive and can no longer perform file operations through the relevant Service Account.
10. Retention and Deletion of Google Drive Data
WikiDu retains data obtained through the Google Drive API and data generated as a result of its processing only to the extent and for as long as necessary to provide the relevant WikiDu functionality.
If the integration is discontinued, the relevant connection is removed, the user’s account is deleted, or WikiDu receives a valid data deletion request, WikiDu deletes the relevant data and the results of its processing, except where further retention is required by law.
Users may also request the deletion of the relevant data by contacting us at info@wikidu.ai.
11. Security of Google Drive Data
WikiDu implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Google Drive data, OAuth authorization, the Service Account, and other technical means of access against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Data transmitted between Google, WikiDu, and technology service providers engaged by WikiDu is transmitted using secure data transmission protocols.
OAuth credentials, Service Account private keys, access tokens, and other technical authorization mechanisms are used exclusively to provide WikiDu functionality and are not disclosed to users or unauthorized third parties.
