1. Introduction
Birk Business Systems (“Birk,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a developing business automation and systems integration brand operated by an individual. Birk Business Systems has not yet been established as a separate legal entity.
Our website is located at https://www.birksystems.com.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, accessed, used, stored, protected, and shared through our website, business automation systems, and authorized third-party integrations.
We are committed to handling information responsibly and transparently.
2. Information We Collect and Access
Depending on the services requested and integrations authorized, we may process the following categories of information:

Google Workspace Information
When users authorize Google integrations, our systems may access information from:

- Google Calendar
- Other authorized Google Workspace services
The specific information accessed depends on the permissions granted and the functionality requested.
We seek to request only the permissions necessary to perform authorized operations.
3. How Information Is Used
Information is processed to provide requested business automation and systems integration services.
Examples include:

4. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Processing
Some automation workflows may use artificial intelligence to process information or generate requested outputs.
These functions may include:
- Document interpretation and information extraction.
- Categorization of business transactions.
- Email and document drafting.
- Summarization of operational information.
- Automated processing according to defined business rules.
When an authorized workflow requires an external AI processing service, information necessary for the requested function may be transmitted to that provider, subject to applicable permissions and data-use restrictions.
Google Workspace user data is not used to create, train, fine-tune, or improve generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
Automated outputs may contain errors and should receive appropriate human oversight, particularly when used for financial, legal, or other consequential business activities.
5. Information Storage and Retention
Information may be stored when necessary to operate an authorized automation or maintain its functionality.
Stored information may include:
- Workflow execution records.
- Documents and generated outputs.
- Business information required for processing.
- Authentication and authorization information.
- Operational logs.
- Backup copies of relevant information.
Information may be stored within infrastructure managed by the operator of Birk Business Systems or within authorized third-party services.
Retention periods depend on the relevant workflow, the purpose of processing, applicable agreements, and legal requirements.
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes.
Certain information may remain in system backups until those backups are replaced or deleted under the applicable backup procedures.
Users may request information about applicable retention practices or request deletion by contacting [email protected].
6. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
Our automation services may integrate with external applications and infrastructure providers.

Information may be transferred to these services when necessary to complete an authorized function, maintain security, or satisfy applicable legal requirements.
Transfers of Google user data are limited to purposes permitted under Google’s applicable user-data policies.
We do not sell information to advertisers, data brokers, or information resellers.
7. Google API Services User Data Policy
Birk Business Systems’ use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

When someone visits the website, certain technical information may be processed, including:
- IP addresses.
- Browser and device information.
- Requested pages and associated request metadata.
- Information necessary for website security and functionality.
WordPress may use cookies required for administrator authentication, session management, and user preferences.

Visitors may contact us directly using the email address provided in this policy.
If additional tracking or data-collection features are introduced, this policy will be updated accordingly.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction.
Depending on the systems involved, these safeguards may include:
- Authentication and access controls.
- Restricted administrative access.
- Encrypted network connections.
- Credential and authorization management.
- Software maintenance and security updates.
- Backup and recovery procedures.

Although we take reasonable precautions, no internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure.
10. Data Breaches and Security Incidents
Suspected unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise of information will be evaluated to determine the nature and potential impact of the incident.
When required by applicable law or contractual obligations, affected parties and relevant authorities will be notified.
Reasonable measures will be taken to contain identified security issues and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
11. Data Retention, Deletion, and User Rights
Individuals may contact us to request information about personal data processed through our services.
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, individuals may have rights to request:
- Access to personal information.
- Correction of inaccurate information.
- Deletion of personal information.
- Information about how their data is processed.

Requests may be submitted to [email protected].
Where information is processed on behalf of a business customer, requests may need to be coordinated with that organization.
Certain information may need to be retained to satisfy applicable legal obligations, contractual requirements, or legitimate operational needs.
Revoking Google Access
Users may revoke access granted to Birk Business Systems through their Google Account security settings.
Revoking authorization prevents continued access through the revoked connection but does not automatically delete information previously processed or stored.
Users may separately request deletion of retained information.
12. International Data Processing
Some third-party services used in authorized automation workflows may process or store information in jurisdictions outside the user’s country.
Where applicable privacy laws require additional protections for international transfers, appropriate safeguards must be established.
The specific locations and protections depend on the third-party services involved in the applicable workflow.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as our services, infrastructure, or legal obligations change.
Updates will be published on this website with a revised effective date.
Material changes affecting previously authorized data processing may require additional notice or authorization.
