We protect this information through encrypted HTTPS connections when communicating with Google Calendar.

Authentication and account-level authorization checks restrict access to calendar connections and the credentials used to access them.

You can disconnect Google Calendar through your Releventful calendar connection settings. Disconnecting removes the stored access and refresh tokens from Releventful.
