Privacy Policy

Morning Brief · Effective September 15, 2026

This policy explains how Morning Brief (the "application"), operated by Gruber Ventures, accesses, uses, stores and shares Google user data. The application is for its owner's personal use only. Its only user is the owner, and it accesses only the owner's own Google account.

Google user data the application accesses

• Gmail messages and their details (sender, subject, date, labels and content), to find messages that belong in the owner's morning brief.
• The ability to send email from the owner's Gmail account, used only to send notifications to the owner's own mailbox.
• Google Calendar events (times, titles and attendees), to list the owner's schedule for the day.
• Basic account information (the account's email address), to confirm which account is connected.

How the data is used

Google user data is used only to provide the application's features to the owner: preparing the owner's morning brief and sending notifications to the owner. It is not used for advertising, not sold, and not used to build or train general-purpose AI or machine-learning models.

How the data is processed and stored

• Processing. The application runs on the owner's own computer. To prepare the brief, relevant message and calendar content is processed by an AI assistant (Anthropic's Claude) under the owner's account, solely to write the summary.
• Authorization. The credentials that let the application reach the owner's Google account are stored encrypted on the owner's computer.
• Output. The finished brief is saved to the owner's private notes, which only the owner can access.
• No separate copy. The application does not keep its own copy of the owner's mailbox or calendar and does not store Google user data on any public server.

Sharing

Google user data is not shared with, disclosed to, or transferred to anyone, except as needed to process it for the owner as described above.

Limited Use

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

Retention and deletion

Briefs are kept in the owner's private notes for as long as the owner chooses. Access to the Google account can be removed at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions, after which the application can no longer read or send any Google data.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
