\n

This document outlines the technical architecture and data-handling practices of KiviCare Google Meet integration<\/strong>, specifically intended for Google App Reviewers<\/strong>. It explains how user data is processed, stored, and secured during API interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Technical Design Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Data Flow Architecture<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Authentication<\/strong>
    The plugin uses OAuth 2.0<\/strong> to securely obtain access and refresh tokens from Google. These tokens are stored safely as user metadata<\/strong> within the WordPress database.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Event Creation<\/strong>
    When a consultation appointment is scheduled in KiviCare, the plugin sends a POST request<\/strong> to the Google Calendar API<\/strong> to create a corresponding calendar event with a Google Meet link.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Local Data Storage<\/strong>
    Only essential and minimal data is stored locally, including:\n
      \n
    • Google Calendar Event ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Google Meet link
      This data is saved in the kc_appointment_google_meet_mappings<\/code> database table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Data Synchronization<\/strong>
      To maintain consistency, the plugin periodically checks for updates to Google Calendar events or uses webhooks (when available) to synchronize data between KiviCare<\/strong> and Google Calendar<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Security & Privacy Measures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Data Encryption<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • All communication between the plugin and Google APIs is conducted over HTTPS<\/strong>, ensuring secure data transmission.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • OAuth access and refresh tokens are stored in the WordPress database and protected using standard WordPress security mechanisms<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        Data Usage Policy<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • The plugin only requests access to the Google Calendar API scope<\/strong>:
          https:\/\/www.googleapis.com\/auth\/calendar<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • This access is strictly used to manage telemedicine appointments<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • No personal Google account data is shared with third parties or used for any purpose other than scheduling and managing consultations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          App Uninstallation & Account Disconnection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          When a user disconnects their Google account from KiviCare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. All stored access and refresh tokens<\/strong> are permanently removed from the WordPress database.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. The user\u2019s connection status is updated to not_connected<\/code><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. The plugin immediately stops making any further API requests to Google on behalf of that user.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
