Your information

Your files, your Drive, your choices.

Plain answers about what we keep, what is your choice, and what you can take with you. The legal pages behind this are drafts, and a lawyer has not finished reading them.

What we keep, and where

  • Your chats, files, memories, and settings are kept on our servers, in a space set apart for you. Each profile is kept apart too.
  • The apps on your device keep no secrets.
  • Your passwords are locked on your own device. We cannot read them.

A daily copy in your own Google Drive

  • It is your choice, and it is Off until you turn it on.
  • When it is on, a copy goes to a folder in your own Drive, using the access you gave. If you take that access away, the copies stop.
  • You can also download everything, or delete everything, from Settings.

Your choices start Off

  • Every optional switch begins Off: the Drive copy, usage counting, crash reports, notifications, personal touches, and Google linking. You choose the first time you open the app and can change it any time in Settings.
  • If we change the words of a choice, the app asks you again.
  • Our draft privacy policy says we do not sell your personal information. It also says the apps use no outside usage counting, and we do not use what you write to teach AI unless you say yes later.

Screen-watching memory

  • It is your choice, Off to begin with, for adults only, and never on a child profile. It works on a computer.
  • When it is on, the app shows a sign. It tries to hide things like card numbers and one-time codes, but it does its best and is not perfect.
  • In the suggested setting, no picture of your screen leaves your device. A separate choice sends a smaller picture so the words in it can be read. The draft says that picture is deleted within 30 minutes.
  • You can see and delete what it remembers. Do not turn it on for a work or school device without permission.

Children

  • You must be 18 to have your own account. A parent or guardian can add a child profile on a family plan.
  • Child profiles start with strict rules: no screen-watching memory, no usage counting, no personal touches, no connected accounts, no sharing outside the family, and no open chat. Other AI features are limited. The parent can look at, download, and delete what is kept.

Deleting your information

  • Every place your information is kept has a way to delete it, and one account deletion runs them all.
  • The draft privacy policy gives you 14 days to change your mind about deleting an account. Then your information is removed within 30 days. How long some records must be kept is still being worked out with lawyers.
