🐾 Humane Agency Sign in

Privacy Policy

Effective 2026-10-21

This policy explains what information Humane Agency ("the service"), operated by Mike Okola ("we"), collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. Questions go to MichaelOkola@gmail.com.

Information we collect

  • Your Google account details. When you sign in with Google we receive your name, email address and profile picture. We use them to identify your account and show who is signed in.
  • Case records you enter. Everything you record about an investigation: owners, reporting parties, locations, animals, notes, tasks, and the photos and documents you upload. These records can include personal information about people involved in a case.
  • Feedback you send. The message, and the page you sent it from.
  • Google Calendar connection, if you choose to connect. See the next section.

We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking tools. The only cookies are the ones needed to keep you signed in, plus a short-lived one used while you connect Google Calendar.

Google Calendar

Connecting Google Calendar is optional and separate from signing in. If you connect it, the service asks for permission to manage events on your calendars (calendar.events), plus your basic identity (openid, email) so it can show which Google account is connected. It uses calendar access only to:

  • create an all-day event on your primary calendar for each open task with a due date, on cases you own or can edit;
  • update that event when the task changes;
  • remove it when the task is completed, deleted, or loses its due date.

Each event contains the task title, the case number and title, and a link back to the case. The service only works with events it created. It does not read, change, or delete any other event on your calendar.

To do this we store the Google account address you connected, a long-lived authorization token, which is encrypted, and a short-lived access token that expires within an hour. You can disconnect at any time from the Calendar page: we revoke the authorization with Google and delete the stored tokens immediately. Events already on your calendar stay there for you to keep or delete. You can also remove access from your Google Account settings.

Humane Agency's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data obtained from Google is used only to provide the calendar feature described above. It is not sold, not used for advertising, not used to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models, and not read by people except where you ask us to for support, where needed for security, or where required by law.

How information is used and shared

We use your information only to run the service. We do not sell it or share it for advertising. It is shared only:

  • With people you choose. If you share your cases with another user, they can see them, and edit them if you allow it.
  • With the providers that run the service: Supabase (database, sign-in and file storage), Cloudflare (hosting), and Google (sign-in, and Calendar if you connect it). They process data on our behalf.
  • When required by law, or to protect the safety of others.

Retention and deletion

Case records serve as an investigation record, so deleting a case or item in the app hides it but keeps it in the database. This protects the integrity of the record. To have your account, your case records, and the photos and documents you uploaded permanently deleted, email MichaelOkola@gmail.com. Calendar tokens are deleted immediately when you disconnect.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Access to case records is enforced by the database itself, so each user can reach only their own records and those shared with them. Uploaded photos and documents are stored privately, and the long-lived Google authorization token is encrypted at rest. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.

Children

The service is for professional use and is not directed to children.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the effective date above. Material changes affecting how Google data is used will be made only with your consent.
