Privacy Policy
Updated 19 October 2026. This policy covers gws CLI, a private Google authorization project for owner-operated business tools. It is used by owners and staff only, has no public signup, and is not a Google product. Return to the home page.
What we access
Users authorize their own business Google accounts. The venue reply helper connects with exactly gmail.readonly and gmail.compose. It reads incoming Gmail messages and Sent mail. The gmail.compose permission also allows sending at the provider level, but the venue helper code exposes draft creation only and has no send operation. Other owner-approved gws CLI workflows may use different scopes and commands, and the Google consent screen is authoritative.
How we use it
- Drafting unsent replies for a human to review and send.
- Proofreading drafts.
- Analyzing Sent mail to learn writing style and grammar.
Anthropic processing
Selected email bodies, subjects and header metadata may be passed to Anthropic Claude through the operator subscription for drafting, proofreading and style analysis. Tools are off for these model calls. Anthropic privacy information is available at https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy.
Local counted style memory
The helper code does not train any base model. Style learning is kept as counted style rules in local files only.
Storage
Messages remain in Gmail. Message copies, reply comparisons and evidence can be kept on operator-controlled storage in Toronto, and helper state can use the private Hub database. Raw message copies and evidence are kept outside Git and are not published with these pages. Access tokens and refresh grants are stored in protected operator files.
Retention
No automatic deletion timer is implemented, and we state no retention period.
Revoking access and deletion
- Account owners can revoke Google access at https://myaccount.google.com/connections.
- Authorized operators can remove local copies.
- Deletion of existing copies can be requested from support.
Revoking Google access does not by itself remove copies that already exist.
