Information we Collect

We collect information about you directly from you and automatically through your use of our website and service.

  • Full Name
  • Email

Information Provided Through Services

  • Booking with Companies that use Periodic: Companies that use Periodic have the option to make their own customizable bookable. With this process, the company has the option to ask questions that they deem important to make their booking. This information can vary greatly. The company can then decide to collect that information if they deem it necessary for their business.

To find out more about what personal data a company using Periodic collects on you, please feel free to contact said company.

  • Billing Information for Periodic Users: If a customer of a Periodic using Company bills their customer, we store some of this data. This data includes:
    • last 4 digits of credit card number
    • type of credit card

All companies that pay for a Periodic service to be on their website pay through Cheddar. Billing information is collected by Cheddar and we are provided with an ID number for the company’s transaction. Therefore, this billing information is not stored by Periodic. For more information on Cheddar’s privacy policy click here.

We also give users the option to share information with us via integrated services. Once a user has opted in, we may automatically collect data from those connected services in order to effectively determine availability or process orders.

  • Google Calendar: Once a user has authorized a connection to their Google calendar, we will automatically collect free/busy information about each event on the calendar, including new events as they are added to the calendar. We use this data only to determine whether or not the user is available for new reservations created through our system. We store only the start time, end time, and status of each event. We do not store any details (title, description, location, etc.) of these events, and we do not share the collected event information with anyone.
