Privacy Policy

Jarvis Personal — last updated 6 September 2026

Jarvis Personal ("the application") is a personal software project operated by David Lee as an individual. It has a single user: its author. This policy describes exactly what the application accesses and what it does with it.

What the application accesses

With the user's explicit consent, the application reads the content and metadata of messages in the user's own Gmail mailbox. It requests one Google OAuth scope:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly — read-only access to Gmail messages and settings.

It requests no other scope. It cannot send, modify, archive, label, or delete mail, and it has no access to Google Drive, Calendar, Contacts, Photos, or any other Google service.

What it does with that data

Message text is converted into a search index — a keyword index and a set of numeric embeddings — stored on the user's own personal computer. The purpose is to let the user search his own correspondence more effectively than Gmail's built-in search allows.

Where data is stored

Entirely on hardware the user owns and physically controls. The application has no backend, no hosted database, and no cloud storage. No message content is transmitted to the developer, to this website, or to any server operated by anyone.

What is never done

Data is never sold, rented, or licensed.
Data is never shared with any third party, service, or advertiser.
Data is never used for advertising or marketing of any kind.
Data is never used to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any machine learning model.
Data is never transferred to any human other than the account owner.

Limited Use disclosure. The application's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Retention and deletion

The local index persists until the user deletes it, which he can do at any time by removing the index files from his own machine. No copy exists anywhere else, so no deletion request to any other party is possible or necessary.

Revoking access

Access can be withdrawn at any time from myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking it immediately and permanently prevents the application from reading any further mail.

Children

The application is not directed at children and has no users other than its adult author.

Changes

If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
