About our third-party service integration
Using Papaya’s Services may entail mandatory or discretionary integration with third-party applications or software, such as (but not limited to) communication, chat and/or e-mail providers, task and project management software, and other providers. When users log-in with these methods or opt-in to integrate these Services, Papaya collects these providers’ identifiers (for instance, e-mail addresses) and saves them securely in our databases. We use them to link your identity across the third-party applications or software you chose to integrate with, for example so that when you are assigned a task in Papaya, that task will be assigned to you in your project management software and vice versa. You may always choose to revoke the integration you’ve opted-in to in Papaya at any time in your Papaya settings.
Our privacy policy does not apply to any third-party applications or software that integrate with the Papaya platform, or any other third-party products, services or businesses. Please be sure to check the privacy policies of those third parties.
