7. Security Measures

All applicant data is securely transmitted and stored using industry-standard encryption and security protocols. We partner with trusted AI providers that comply with best practices for data protection.

8. User Impersonation for Support

To provide effective customer support and troubleshooting, authorized Cantaloupe AI support personnel may access your account with your permission through a feature commonly known as "user impersonation" or "login as user." This feature is used exclusively for:

  • Diagnosing and resolving technical issues you report
  • Providing guided assistance with platform features
  • Investigating and resolving account-specific problems
  • Demonstrating functionality or helping with setup

When support personnel access your account:

  • All actions are logged and auditable
  • Access is limited to the minimum necessary to resolve your issue
  • Support staff cannot view passwords or payment card details
  • You may request a record of support access to your account
  • Support access is terminated immediately after issue resolution

By using our support services, you consent to this limited access. You may opt out of impersonation-based support by requesting alternative assistance methods.

9. Google and Microsoft Integrations and API Usage

Cantaloupe AI integrates with Google and Microsoft in order to schedule calendar events. We also use Google APIs to process and analyse user-provided locations in accordance with hiring needs.

9.1 Scope & Purpose

Cantaloupe AI requests only the calendar permissions from Google and Microsoft required to:

  • Read your availability (free/busy)
  • Create, update, reschedule or delete interview events on your behalf
  • Handle the scheduling process

9.2 Purpose of Requesting Google and Microsoft Data

We need Google and Microsoft data in order to book interviews between business users and job applicants, as well as facilitate joining the meeting, rescheduling, cancelling, and related functions. Calendar data is never sold, shared for marketing, or used for advertising profiles.

9.3 User Control

You may disconnect at any time via the Cantaloupe AI dashboard or in your Google or Microsoft account's security settings. Revocation stops all future reads and writes.

9.4 Security

Calendar tokens and metadata are encrypted in transit and at rest, and are accessible only to automated scheduling services that require them for the functions described here.

9.5 Compliance

Cantaloupe AI's use of Google and Microsoft user data is strictly limited to the practices described above, satisfying Google's API Services Limited-Use requirements and Microsoft's comparable API terms. Cantaloupe AI is not responsible for third-party provider outages or inaccuracies that lead to missed or conflicting events.

Important: Cantaloupe does NOT retain user data obtained through Google Workspace APIs or Google Calendar integrations to develop, improve, or train generalized AI and/or ML models.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as laws evolve. If we update this policy, we will require consent again before continuing to use the application. The latest version will be posted on our website.
