Privacy Policy for Pulse

Last Updated: 2025-06-30

Introduction

Welcome to Pulse! This Privacy Policy explains how Pulse ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information about users ("you") of the Pulse application and services (the "Service"), particularly concerning data accessed via Google OAuth.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information necessary to provide and improve the Pulse service:

• Information You Provide:
  • Account Information: When you register, we collect information like your name and email address provided via Google Sign-In.
  • User Content: Information related to your tasks, notes, or other content you create within Pulse.
• Information from Google Accounts (via OAuth): When you connect your Google Account, you authorize us to access specific information based on the permissions (OAuth scopes) you grant. This may include:
  • Basic Profile Information: Your name, email address, profile picture (`openid`, `email`, `profile` scopes).
  • Google Email Data: Access to read, analyze, compose, and potentially send emails on your behalf (e.g., `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly`, `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.compose`, potentially `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send` - **PLEASE VERIFY EXACT SCOPES USED**). This is used for features like AI Summaries, Auto-Reply/Completion, Clustering, and Prioritization.
  • Google Calendar Data: Access to view, create, and modify calendar events (e.g., `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events` - **PLEASE VERIFY EXACT SCOPES USED**). This is used for features like Intelligent Calendar Management and Proactive Meeting Coordination.
  • [List any other Google scopes Pulse requires and their purpose - PLEASE ADD]
• Usage Information: We may collect information about how you interact with the Service, such as feature usage, clicks, and technical logs for troubleshooting and improvement (e.g., via Vercel Speed Insights or similar).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To Provide and Operate the Service: Authenticate you, deliver Pulse features (AI summaries, email replies, calendar management, task lists, Claire agent interactions, focus mode, etc.), and manage your account.
• To Improve the Service: Analyze usage patterns, troubleshoot issues, and develop new features.
• To Communicate with You: Send service-related notifications or respond to support requests.
• To Comply with Legal Obligations.

Specifically regarding Google User Data:
Pulse's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data obtained via Google OAuth is strictly used to provide and improve the user-facing features clearly visible in the Pulse application interface. We do not use this data for serving advertisements, selling data, or any purpose other than delivering the core functionality of Pulse (e.g., reading email content only to generate summaries or draft replies as requested by you).

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information under the following limited circumstances:

• With Service Providers: We may share information with third-party vendors who help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting providers like Vercel, database providers, AI model providers). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
• AI Model Providers: Features like AI summaries, auto-reply, and Claire interactions require sending relevant data (e.g., email text, calendar context, task details) to third-party AI models (e.g., `[List Specific AI Providers Used - e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic - PLEASE PROVIDE]`). We strive to minimize the data sent and work with providers who have strong privacy and security practices. `[Add details about data anonymization if applicable - PLEASE PROVIDE]`.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You can request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

6. Your Choices and Rights

• Google Account Permissions: You can review and revoke Pulse's access to your Google Account at any time through your Google Account security settings page: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. Please note that revoking access may limit or disable certain Pulse features.
• Account Deletion: You can request the deletion of your Pulse account and associated data by contacting us at mind_with_manus@outlook.com.
• Access and Correction: Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information held by us. Please contact us to make such requests.

7. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We take steps to ensure that your data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.

8. Children's Privacy

Pulse is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold depending on jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.
