1. Introduction

Welcome to Emily AI ("we," "our," "us"). We operate the website heyemily.ai and related services (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our Service. By using Emily AI, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Definitions

  • Personal Data – information that identifies or can identify an individual.
  • Usage Data – automatically collected technical data (e.g., IP address, browser type).
  • Google Account Data – data accessed from your Google Account when you grant us authorization via Google's OAuth process (e.g., Calendar events or Gmail metadata).

3. What Data We Collect and Why

A. Google Account Data

When you authorize Emily AI to connect with your Google account, we may request the minimum required scopes such as:

  • Google Calendar events (titles, start/end times, participant lists) – to help suggest or schedule introductions.
  • Gmail metadata or message headers (sender, recipient, subject, timestamp) – to analyze communication context if you opt-in to email-based features.

We do not access or store message bodies or attachments unless a feature specifically requires it and you consent. All Google data is handled in compliance with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements for Gmail restricted scopes.

B. Personal Data You Provide

When creating an account or interacting with Emily AI, you may provide your name, email, profile info, and other details necessary to deliver our services.

4. How We Use Information

We use data to:

  • Provide and improve the Service.
  • Recommend introductions and manage meetings between consenting users.
  • Personalize user experiences and communication.
  • Ensure security, prevent abuse, and comply with law.

We do not sell or rent user data or Google Account Data for advertising purposes.

5. Data Storage and Security

  • Data is transmitted via HTTPS and encrypted at rest.

8. Sharing and Disclosure

We may share data only:

  • With vetted service providers performing business functions under confidentiality agreements.
  • To comply with legal obligations.
