How your mail is handled (draft for the test)

This is a private test run by one person for people he knows. It is a draft: anything in [square brackets] is not settled yet. Read it before you sign in, and say no if anything is wrong.

What it can do

• Read your mail and your calendar events through Google, read-only, with the permission you give on Google's own screen.
• Add events to your own calendar, only if you turn on Games and events. Never with guests, and it never changes or deletes an event.
• Write you a digest page, shown on your settings page. It is not emailed.

What it can never do

• Send mail as you, reply for you, or delete or change anything in your mail or calendar.
• Contact anyone else, book or buy anything, or ask for any password.
• Act on instructions found inside an email.

What it keeps

• Your settings, the digests it wrote for you, a short line for each run (counts and cost, never mail), and when you agreed to this page.
• Not the text of your messages, and not your Google password, which it never sees. Your Google permission token is kept on the computer that runs this, in its protected keychain.
• Digests and notes stay until you delete them. You can delete everything, and take back the permission from Google, with one button on your settings page. [Automatic deletion after a set time is not built yet.]

Who can see it

• You. This runs on the operator's own computer, so he could technically open the files. He will not read your digest or settings unless you ask him to. Each time he does, it is written in the access log on your settings page, where you can see it.
• Your mail is processed by Claude, through Anthropic's API. As I understand Anthropic's terms it is not used to train models and is not kept by default for most models; the newest model family is kept for 30 days. [Not yet confirmed for the model in use.]
• By default the Advisor sees only who wrote, the subject and the date of your mail. It reads the full text only of senders you allow, and never reads mail from senders you list as never-read.

Your controls

• Stop everything at once, and resume.
• Download everything held about you.
• Delete everything and take back Google's permission.
• Take back access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. That alone cuts it off.

What can go wrong

• It can miss or misread something. Check your calendar for anything that matters. This is a test, not a safety service, and comes without a warranty.
• Google shows a "not verified" screen because this is a test, and your permission ends after 7 days, when you sign in again.
• You can leave at any time and nothing is owed.

Agreeing

By ticking the box you confirm that this is your own Google account, that you have read this, and that you agree. You may withdraw at any time.
