Terms of service
Stega Workspace Connector
Last updated
These terms govern the use of the Stega Workspace Connector, which Stega Networks provides to its customers to report on their Google Workspace environment, retain searchable audit history, trace email delivery, and monitor for security threats. By authorizing the connector for an organization, you accept these terms on that organization's behalf.
The service
The connector collects directory, license, storage, usage, audit, and email delivery-log information from Google Workspace and makes it available to the customer's authorized representatives and to Stega personnel through StegaApp. The connector page describes its features and the Google permissions it requests.
The connector reads information only. It does not change the customer's Workspace settings, users, licenses, or data, and it does not access Google Drive files, email message bodies, or attachments.
Your agreement with Stega
The connector is part of the managed services Stega provides to its customers. If your organization has a written service agreement with Stega, that agreement governs fees, service levels, and any other matter it covers, and it prevails over these terms where they conflict. These terms apply to the use of the connector in every case.
Authority and responsibilities
The person authorizing the connector must be an administrator of the organization's Google Workspace account and have authority to accept these terms for the organization. The customer is responsible for:
- deciding to connect its Workspace and keeping the authorization limited to the organization it administers;
- providing any notices to, and obtaining any consents from, its users that applicable law or its own policies require for the collection and monitoring described in our privacy policy;
- controlling who in its organization may access StegaApp, and telling Stega promptly when that access should change; and
- complying with its own agreements with Google, including Google's terms for Workspace.
Acceptable use
The customer may use the connector and the information it provides only to manage, secure, and audit its own organization. It may not use the connector to monitor people outside its organization, to violate anyone's privacy or other rights, to break the law, or to interfere with the service or with Google's systems.
Data and privacy
The customer keeps all rights to its data. Stega processes it on the customer's behalf only to provide the service, as described in our privacy policy, which forms part of these terms. Stega's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Audit history is retained for one calendar year from the event or record time unless another period is agreed in writing and technically supported. Immutable archive locks and backup lifecycles can delay physical deletion, as the privacy policy explains.
Security findings and AI review
Threat monitoring and its AI-assisted incident reviews are advisory. They help Stega's security staff decide what to investigate, but they may miss threats or flag legitimate activity. They do not replace the customer's own security controls, and Stega does not guarantee that every incident will be detected.
Availability
The connector depends on Google's services, APIs, reporting delays, and the features of the customer's Workspace edition, which Stega does not control. Stega works to keep the connector available and its information accurate but does not guarantee uninterrupted operation or complete data. Features may change as Google's APIs change.
Revocation, suspension, and termination
The customer may stop the connector at any time by revoking its access through the Google Account connections page or the Google Admin console, or by contacting Stega. Revocation stops future collection; retained records are then handled as the privacy policy describes.
Stega may suspend or end the connector for an organization if these terms are breached, if continuing would create a security or legal risk, when the customer's services with Stega end, or when Stega discontinues the connector. Stega will give reasonable notice where it can.
Disclaimers and liability
Except as stated in these terms or in a written agreement with Stega, the connector is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, Stega is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from the use of the connector. Stega's total liability for any claim relating to the connector is limited to the fees the customer paid Stega for the connector in the twelve months before the claim, or as otherwise set out in the customer's service agreement.
Changes to these terms
We update the date above when these terms change and notify connected customers of material changes before they take effect. Continued use of the connector after that date means the customer accepts the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.
