At Samvise, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our intelligent task scheduling service.

1. Information We Collect#

1.1 Account Information#

When you create an account, we collect your email address and basic profile information through Google OAuth authentication.

1.3 Google Calendar Data#

To provide our scheduling services, we request access to your Google Calendar with the following specific permissions:

• calendar.readonly - We read event times and titles from all your calendars to detect when you're busy and avoid scheduling conflicts. We access event start times, end times, and titles (for display purposes only). We do not access or store event descriptions, locations, attendee information, or any other event details.
• calendar.app.created - We create and manage a dedicated "App Schedule" calendar for tasks scheduled by Samvise. This permission is limited to only events created by our application.

3. AI Providers and Data Processing#

We use third-party AI providers to generate intelligent scheduling suggestions and task recommendations.

Task titles, scheduling metadata, due dates, and time requirements are sent to our AI provider (Google Gemini) to generate scheduling recommendations. Task descriptions are included to provide context for better scheduling.

Each AI provider processes data according to their respective privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies if you have concerns about data handling.
