1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Maisie ("the Application") accesses, uses, stores, and handles data obtained through Google APIs. Maisie is a personal, self-hosted AI operations controller built and operated exclusively by Robert Burris for his own business and personal use.
2. Google API Data Access
Maisie uses Google OAuth 2.0 to access the following Google APIs on behalf of the application owner:
- Gmail API — to read, search, summarize, and send email from the owner's Gmail accounts
- Google Calendar API — to read, create, modify, and delete calendar events across the owner's calendars
- Google Contacts API — to read saved contact names for display and routing purposes
All API access is scoped to Gmail accounts owned and operated by Robert Burris. No third-party accounts are accessed.
3. How Google Data Is Used
Data retrieved from Google APIs is used solely to:
- Generate operational summaries and morning briefings delivered to the owner via Telegram
- Detect and alert on urgent business emails
- Draft email replies for the owner's review and approval before sending
- Parse invoice attachments for business expense tracking
- Read and manage calendar events for scheduling and conflict detection
- Send automated business emails (e.g., daily driver schedules) after owner confirmation
4. Data Storage
Maisie stores the following data locally on the owner's private home server:
- OAuth tokens (stored in
/opt/maisie/config/tokens/) — used to authenticate API requests - Operational logs in SQLite — action timestamps, email flags, calendar events processed
- No raw email content is stored permanently; summaries are generated and discarded after delivery
No data is stored on third-party cloud services, transmitted to external servers, or retained beyond operational necessity.
5. Data Sharing
Maisie does not share any Google user data with third parties. No data is sold, transferred, or disclosed to any external person, company, or service.
The only external communication is the Anthropic Claude API, which receives summarization prompts. These prompts may contain brief excerpts of email content for the purpose of generating summaries. Anthropic's data handling is governed by their own privacy policy.
6. Data Retention & Deletion
OAuth tokens can be revoked at any time via the Google Account permissions page. Upon revocation, Maisie loses all access to associated Google data immediately.
Locally stored logs can be deleted by the application owner directly from the server at any time. No backup copies are maintained externally.
