Privacy Policy
BixiShell ("the application") is a private, single-user personal productivity assistant operated by, and used exclusively by, its own owner. It is not a public service, it has no customers or end users other than the owner, and it is not distributed or offered to third parties.
What the application accesses
With the owner's explicit authorisation, the application uses Google APIs to access:
- Google Calendar — to read upcoming events and create reminders and deadlines the owner asks it to record.
- Gmail (read-only) — to surface deadlines, bills, correspondence and claim documents in the owner's own mailbox.
- Google Drive — to read and file the owner's own documents for archiving and text extraction.
- Google Docs and Sheets — to read and update the owner's own notes, reports and tracking spreadsheets.
How the data is used
Data is used only to prepare summaries, reminders and record-keeping for the owner. There is no advertising, no profiling, no analytics and no automated decision-making that affects anyone other than the owner.
Where the data goes
Nowhere. Data retrieved through Google APIs is processed locally on the owner's own computers. It is not sold, rented, shared, transferred or disclosed to any third party, and it is not used to train machine-learning models. No human other than the owner can read it.
Storage and retention
Summaries and notes are stored in the owner's local files and in the owner's own Google Drive. Backups are encrypted at rest by the owner's own systems and retained only while they are useful. Cached copies can be deleted by the owner at any time.
Google API Services User Data Policy
The application's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically:
- Data is used only to provide the features described above.
- Data is not transferred to third parties except as necessary to provide those features, or to comply with applicable law.
- Data is not used for advertising.
- No humans read the owner's data, because the owner is the only person with access.
Access and deletion
The owner can revoke the application's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking access stops all further data collection immediately. Locally held copies are then deleted on request.
Security
OAuth tokens are stored locally and never transmitted to any party other than Google. Access is restricted to the owner's own devices.
