Privacy Policy

AskCalvin ("we", "us", the Service) is a personal assistant that integrates with your Google account and your favorite messaging app. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have.

1. Who runs AskCalvin

AskCalvin is operated by Barak Landau. Contact: hello@askcalvin.ai.

2. Data we collect

When you connect AskCalvin, we store and process:

• Your phone number and display name, so we can route messages to you on the app you already use.
• Your Google account email, issued by Google after you authorize the Service.
• OAuth access and refresh tokens issued by Google, stored encrypted, used only to call Google APIs on your behalf.
• Your messages to and from AskCalvin, stored as conversation history so the assistant remembers what you told it.
• Voice notes you send, transcribed by OpenAI Whisper, then stored as text. The original audio is deleted immediately after transcription.
• Google Calendar data (events, attendees, times) that you explicitly grant access to. Used to build briefings, reminders, and change notifications. Never shared.
• Google Docs that you explicitly direct the assistant to read or append to, such as a call notes document.
• Gmail metadata and content (only when you opt in to the Gmail integration): subject, sender, snippet, and message body of emails used for inbox digests and urgent alerts.
• Long term memory that you ask the assistant to remember (preferences, people, context). Stored indefinitely until you delete it.

3. How we use the data

We use your data solely to provide the AskCalvin Service to you. We do not sell it, rent it, show it to advertisers, or use it to train any public AI model.

4. Google User Data

AskCalvin's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Specifically, Google user data is:

• Used only to provide features you have requested within AskCalvin.
• Never transferred to third parties except as necessary to provide or improve user facing features, comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with user notice.
• Never used for advertising purposes, including retargeting, personalized, or interest based advertising.
• Never read by a human except with your explicit consent, to troubleshoot on your request, or where required by law.

5. Third party processors

We use the following vendors to operate the Service:

• Vercel: application hosting.
• Supabase: database (messages, memory, tokens).
• Meta WhatsApp Cloud API: messaging on WhatsApp.
• Anthropic (Claude API): powering the assistant.
• OpenAI (Whisper API): voice note transcription. Audio deleted after transcription.
• Upstash QStash: scheduled reminders.
• Google (Calendar, Docs, Gmail APIs): your authorized Google data.

Each processor handles your data under their own terms and only as needed to deliver the Service.

6. Data retention and deletion

Your data is retained as long as your AskCalvin account is active. You can delete your account at any time by sending the message "delete my account" from your registered phone number. Deletion removes your messages, memory, Google tokens, and tenant row. A 7 day grace period lets you undo. After that, all data is permanently purged.

You can also disconnect Google at any time from your Google Account permissions page. Revocation takes effect immediately.

7. Security

Data is transmitted over TLS. OAuth tokens are stored in an encrypted database accessible only to the Service. We follow industry standard practices but cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to this policy

If we materially change how your data is used, we will notify you and update the date at the top of this page.
