Your Google connection in Windy Vault

How you will see it, disconnect it and delete it, and what happens to your data.

Coming soon. Not available yet. Today no Windy product connects to your Google account. This page describes how it will work when the feature opens. What Windy will ask Google for is on Google account access for Windy Vault.

See what is connected

Your Windy profile page will have a card named Windy Vault. It will list each service you have connected, with the Google account it belongs to.

Disconnect Google

  1. 1
    Open your Windy profile page and find the Windy Vault card.
  2. 2
    Next to Google, press Disconnect.
  3. 3
    Windy will ask Google to cancel the access, and will erase its own stored copy of your Google access. From then on Windy cannot send email or change calendar events for you.

If Google cannot be reached at that moment, Windy will still erase its own copy, and the page will tell you to also remove Windy Vault at Google (below).

Remove Windy Vault at Google

You will also be able to remove it from Google’s side at any time. Open your Google Account permissions and look for Windy Vault in the list of apps and services that have access to your account, then remove its access.

What Windy Vault will store, and what it will not

Your Google access
Stored encrypted in Windy Vault. Erased when you disconnect.
Your Google account’s address
Kept only as an encrypted label that you can see, so you know which account is connected. Nothing else about your Google account.
Your activity list
The time, which helper, and the kind of action (for example “sent an email”). It is your record of what your helpers did. Kept for 13 months, also after you disconnect.
Not stored
The text of emails sent for you, event titles or details, and free or busy results. Windy Vault will not keep any of them.

If you delete your whole Windy account

The keys that open your Windy Vault will be destroyed, so nothing in it can ever be read again, and any remaining activity rows will no longer be linkable to you. How to delete your account is on Delete your account.
