Bedder is a housekeeping coordination tool for small hotels. This policy explains what data Bedder handles, why, and how to remove it. It covers the Bedder iPhone app, the web panel, and the optional Gmail connection.
Google user data Bedder accesses
If - and only if - you connect a Gmail account, Bedder requests the
gmail.readonly scope. It uses that access for one purpose: reading
the shift-schedule messages sent by the sender address you configure, so your
shifts appear in the app.
- Bedder reads only messages from the sender address you specify.
- Access is read-only. Bedder cannot send, delete, or modify any message.
- Bedder does not read your other mail, contacts, or attachments unrelated to that sender.
What Bedder stores
- The shift itself - date, start time and end time, linked to your account.
- The sender address you chose to allow.
- A Google authorization token, so Bedder can check for new schedules without asking you to sign in again. It is stored encrypted and is never shown to anyone.
- A reference to the message a shift came from, so the same email is not processed twice.
Bedder does not store the body of your email beyond what is needed to produce the shift, and stores no message from any other sender.
How Google user data is used
Only to create and update your shifts inside Bedder. That data is never used for advertising, never sold, never transferred to third parties, and never used to train generalized artificial intelligence or machine-learning models. Humans do not read it, except when you explicitly ask for support with a specific problem and give permission for that message to be looked at.
Other data Bedder handles
- Your account - name, email address and role, created when you are invited by your hotel.
- Work records - rooms, services, notes, photos you attach, and the history of who did what and when.
- Messages from your team's WhatsApp group, where your hotel has connected one, used to derive room work.
- A device token, if you allow notifications, so the app can alert you to new work.
Analytics on this website
These public pages - the home page, this policy and the terms - use Google Analytics to count visits. It records the page you opened, the approximate region the request came from and the kind of device, and it sets a cookie in your browser to tell a returning visit from a new one. It does not identify you by name and it is not used for advertising.
This is the website only. The Bedder app and web panel carry no analytics, and no data received from Google APIs - no message, no shift, no email address - is ever sent to Google Analytics or to any other analytics service. The two are entirely separate.
You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on or by blocking cookies for this site. Nothing on these pages needs the cookie to work.
Removing your data
- Disconnect Gmail at any time in the app, or at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Bedder deletes the stored authorization token and stops reading your mail.
- Delete everything by writing to the address below. Your account, shifts and work history are removed.
