Privacy policy
Last updated 14 November 2026.
Jarvis is a private personal assistant operated by a single individual, its owner, for the owner's personal use. It is not offered to the public. The only accounts ever connected to it are the owner's own.
Information Jarvis accesses
With the owner's consent, Jarvis uses Google's APIs with read-only permissions to access:
- Gmail: message headers (sender, recipients, subject, date), labels and the short preview snippet. Jarvis does not download or store message bodies or attachments.
- Google Calendar: events, times, locations and attendee addresses.
- Google Tasks: task titles, notes, due dates and completion status.
Jarvis cannot send email, or create, change or delete anything in a Google account.
How the information is used
The information is used only to show the owner a private summary of their own day and to answer the owner's own questions. To write an answer or a daily summary, relevant excerpts may be processed by an AI model provider (Anthropic) at the owner's request. Jarvis does not use Google user data for advertising, and does not use it to develop, improve or train generalised artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
Storage and security
Information is stored in an encrypted database on the owner's own computer. The encryption key is held in that computer's system keychain. Jarvis does not operate servers that hold this information, and its interface is reachable only by its owner.
Sharing
Jarvis does not sell Google user data and does not share it with third parties, other than the processing described above that is needed to answer the owner's requests.
Retention and deletion
Information is kept on the owner's computer until the owner deletes it. Access can be withdrawn at any time from the Google Account permissions page, after which Jarvis can no longer read the account.
Google API Services User Data Policy
Jarvis's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
