Privacy policy

Last updated 15 November 2026

Linda is a personal assistant that its owner runs privately on their own computer. This policy explains what Linda accesses, why, and how that data is handled. It applies to the Linda app registered with Google under this domain.

Who uses Linda

Linda is not offered to the public. It is used by its owner and by family members the owner invites. Only the owner's own Google account is connected.

What Google data Linda accesses

• Gmail (read, label and draft): to search and read the owner's messages when the owner asks, to prepare drafts the owner reviews, and to spot bills and reminders the owner asked to be told about.
• Google Calendar (events): to read the owner's schedule and to create or change events when the owner asks and confirms.

Linda does not send email, delete messages or change events without the owner's explicit confirmation.

How the data is handled

• Data from Google is processed on the owner's own computer. It is not sold, rented or shared with anyone.
• It is not used for advertising, and it is not used to train any AI or machine-learning model.
• The Google sign-in credential is stored encrypted on the owner's computer and is used only to reach Google's own servers.
• Short excerpts may be kept on the owner's computer as notes or conversation history the owner can review and delete. Nothing is copied to other services.
• No one other than the owner (and the owner's own tools on that computer) can read this data.

Google API Services User Data Policy

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

Removing access

The owner can disconnect Linda at any time from their Google account's third-party access settings (myaccount.google.com/permissions). Linda then can no longer read any Google data, and stored excerpts can be deleted from the owner's computer.
