When you click Continue with Microsoft for the first time, a Microsoft screen appears asking you to grant a few permissions to Waldo. This is a standard Microsoft process. Every app that connects to Microsoft 365 goes through the same step. Here is what Waldo needs and why.

To know who you are

Waldo needs to read your basic profile information: your name, your email address and your organisation. This is how Waldo knows which account to link your bookings to and which team you belong to.

To work inside Teams

Because Waldo lives inside Microsoft Teams, it needs permission to operate within your Teams environment: sending you notifications, displaying your bookings and communicating with the Waldo bot.

You choose what Waldo can access

Waldo's permissions are tied to the features you decide to activate. If you enable meeting room booking, Waldo will need the corresponding permission. If you do not activate a feature, Waldo does not request the associated access. Nothing is forced on you, and you can adjust your feature settings at any time from the Waldo admin portal.

What Waldo does not do

Waldo does not read your emails. It does not access your files or documents. It does not share your personal data with third parties. Your data is hosted in Europe and handled in compliance with GDPR.
