How we handle your data

What you connect

You sign in with Clerk, then connect Gmail through Google OAuth. pithie only receives Gmail access after you explicitly authorize it. We request the gmail.modify scope so we can sync mail and apply label changes you make in the app.

What we store

• Your pithie user record (linked to your Clerk identity)
• Gmail OAuth tokens and connected-account identity fields
• Synced thread and message data (headers, labels, subjects, and extracted body text)
• Derived reading summaries produced by AI processing

What we use it for

Mail data is used to show your inbox, keep it in sync, apply label actions you take, and generate reading summaries. We do not sell your mail content or use Google user data for advertising.

AI processing

Summarization sends mail-derived subject and body text to model providers (via OpenRouter) to generate reading aids for that message. We do not use Google user data to create, train, or improve generalized AI models.

Your controls

• Disconnect Gmail from Settings in the app
• Delete your pithie account from Settings
• Revoke access under your Google Account’s third-party connections
• Follow step-by-step instructions on the deletion page

Google API Limited Use

pithie’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
