Deft and your Google account

What Deft does with it

• Gmail: when you ask, it finds and reads your email and attachments. It checks new mail every 15 minutes to tell you what needs a reply. It drafts replies, and sends an email only when you ask it to or approve it. It never deletes or changes your mail.
• Google Calendar: it reads your own calendar to tell you what's coming up and when to leave. It adds, moves or cancels events when you ask it to or approve it, or, if you keep that setting on, when the person you're meeting moves or cancels on a call Deft made for you.
• Google Drive, only if you tap Allow Drive: it finds and reads a file when you ask for it. It never changes, shares or deletes your files. New files it saves for you go into its own Deft folder, and so does a copy of each file it files for you, like bills, tickets and attachments, unless you switch that off in Settings (Daily rhythm).
• Your notebook: each night a short summary of the day's email, events and Drive changes goes into your private notebook, so Deft remembers people and plans. One-time codes, card and ID numbers, passwords and bank alerts are left out. You can turn this off in Settings.

Who sees it, and where it's kept

• Your Google sign-in stays with your assistant, in its own private space on servers in India. It is never shown to anyone.
• Deft reads your mail and events from Google when it needs them and doesn't keep a copy of your mailbox. Files you ask for are kept in your private space.
• To answer you, what it reads goes to our AI provider, Anthropic, and only for that. Your Google data is never sold, never used for ads and never used to train AI models.
• Nobody at Deft reads your Google data unless you ask us to help with a specific problem, it's needed for security, or the law requires it.

Disconnect Google

• In the Deft app: Settings → Connections → Google → Remove. Deft deletes its sign-in and its access ends at Google too.
• Or remove Deft from your Google Account: Third-party apps and services

What stays, and how to delete it

• Disconnecting stops Deft reading your Google account. Notes already in your notebook and files Deft already saved stay until you delete them.
• Notes: in the Deft app, open Notebook and tap Forget on a note, or just ask your assistant to forget something.
• Files Deft saved in your Drive's Deft folder are yours: delete them in Drive like any other file.
• Download everything, or close your account, yourself in the Deft app: Settings → Your data. To delete everything Deft learned from your Google account, or anything else, email grievance@heydeft.ai from your registered email. We reply within 48 hours and finish within one month. Our encrypted backups can keep a deleted item for up to 12 months.
