Effective date: 28 September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Local Biz HQ, operated by Local Biz Sites, accesses, uses, stores and protects information used by the platform, including Google Workspace data connected through Google OAuth.
Local Biz HQ is a private internal business operations platform. Its Google integrations are designed around least-privilege access and owner-controlled use.
Local Biz HQ uses business information only to provide and operate its internal client, website, billing, growth and communication workflows.
When Google Workspace is connected, Local Biz HQ may synchronise authorised Gmail conversations and may send messages from that account only where the account owner has enabled and approved that workflow.
Google user data is not sold, used for advertising, or used to build advertising profiles.
The exact information handled depends on which Local Biz HQ features are in use. The platform is designed to keep operational data structured while avoiding unnecessary access.
Names, business contact details, account identifiers and authorised email identities used to operate Local Biz HQ and connect the correct business mailbox.
When a mailbox is connected, HQ may access sender and recipient details, subject lines, plain-text message content, timestamps, thread/message identifiers, Gmail state information and attachment metadata.
Local drafts, approved recipients, sender identity, subject, message body, send status and Gmail thread/message identifiers used to safely send and reconcile owner-approved email.
Lead and client records, contact details, notes, project information, follow-up state and related business records entered into or generated by Local Biz HQ.
System-health information, audit records, integration status, website monitoring results and limited diagnostic information required to keep the platform operating safely.
Google account access is granted through OAuth and remains tied to the specific account that authorised it. Local Biz HQ only requests the permissions needed for the features currently in use.
You choose the Google Workspace account to connect and review the requested permissions on Google’s consent screen.
Authorised Gmail data is read into Local Biz HQ so business conversations can be organised, classified and linked to leads or clients.
Synced Google data is used only to provide Local Biz HQ features such as the Growth Inbox, conversation history, lead/client linking and follow-up workflows.
Where gmail.send is enabled, Local Biz HQ may send email from the authorised account only through the controlled outbound workflow and sender safeguards configured in HQ.
You can disconnect a mailbox in Local Biz HQ or revoke the app’s Google access from your Google Account. Future Google access then stops until reauthorised.
Local Biz HQ’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Local Biz HQ is designed to keep business data within the systems needed to provide its internal features. Access is limited by application permissions and role controls.
Synced Local Biz HQ records are stored in the app’s application data. Google OAuth credentials are handled by the connected platform integration and are not displayed as normal app data.
Google user data is not sold or shared for advertising. Data may be processed by infrastructure and service providers only as required to operate Local Biz HQ and the connected Google integration.
Disconnecting a mailbox stops future access but does not automatically erase previously synchronised Local Biz HQ records. You may request deletion of stored Google-derived data by contacting Local Biz Sites.
You can disconnect a mailbox, revoke Google OAuth access, request access or deletion of stored data, and choose whether owner-approved sending is enabled for a connected account.
At the current version described by this policy, Gmail content used by the Growth Inbox and outreach workflows is not sent to an AI or large-language-model provider. If Local Biz HQ later introduces a new use of Google user data, this policy and relevant in-product disclosures will be updated before that new use is enabled.
