With your read-only Gmail connection, Selyf reads inbox message metadata: subject line, sender, a short snippet, timestamps, and unread status. It does not fetch the full message body or attachments for storage.

The metadata above, plus AI analysis results (priority, reply status, reason, suggested action, confidence) for threads you've analyzed, and account/session records needed to keep you signed in. Your OAuth refresh token is stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), never in plain text.

When you ask for an analysis or a draft on a specific thread, that thread's message content is sent to the configured AI provider (Anthropic or Gemini) to generate the result. This only happens for a thread you explicitly open and act on — not in bulk, and not on a schedule.

An analyzed message's result is cached, so the same message is never re-sent to the AI provider a second time.

Generating a draft sends the thread's content and your requested tone to the same AI provider, and returns editable text that exists only in your browser tab. Nothing is written to Gmail, saved as a Gmail draft, or sent anywhere — the only action available is copying the text to your clipboard yourself.

Data retention follows the service's configured retention policy.

You don't need to wait for it — deleting your account removes everything immediately (see below).

Security-relevant events (connecting an account, disconnecting, a failed OAuth attempt, account deletion) are recorded in an internal audit log used for security investigation, not analytics or profiling. If you delete your account, this log is anonymized — your identifying information is removed from it, not left attached.

You can disconnect your Google account or permanently delete your Selyf account — including your Google connection, synced metadata, and AI analysis results — at any time from the Security page in your dashboard. Both actions take effect immediately.

Two categories of third party ever see any of your data: Google (as the source of your Gmail data, under Google's own terms for the OAuth scope you granted), and the configured AI provider — Anthropic or Gemini — for the specific thread content you choose to analyze or draft a reply for. Selyf does not sell, share, or otherwise provide your data to anyone else.
