Privacy Policy
Last updated 29 September 2026
Who we are
What we collect
- Account data — email address, name, timezone and use case you provide.
- Content you create — chats and messages, journal entries, tasks, reminders and documents you upload.
- Connected account content — if you link a service on the Connectors page, only the specific files, messages, events or records you choose to bring into Buddy, held temporarily to answer your request.
- Usage data — daily message and search counts, feature usage events and basic device information used to keep the service reliable and secure.
- Billing data — subscription tier, status and payment references. Card details are handled by our payment processor and never stored by us.
How we use it
AI processing
Google user data (Limited Use disclosure)
If you connect a Google service (Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides or BigQuery) to Build Buddy through the Connectors page, Build Buddy's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
In plain terms: Google user data is only used to provide the feature you asked for. We do not sell, share or transfer it to third parties (except to process the request you made), we do not use it for advertising, and we do not allow it to be used to train generalised AI or machine-learning models. Google account data is only read when you connect the account and explicitly pick a file, thread, event or sheet to bring into Buddy — we never scan your accounts in the background. You can disconnect any account at any time on the Connectors page, and revoking access in your Google security settings removes our access immediately.
Retention
Your rights
- Export everything we hold about you in JSON and Markdown, at any time.
- Request account deletion. Deletion is permanent after a 48-hour cooling-off period, and can be cancelled at any point within that window.
- Correct your profile details, or object to specific processing by contacting us.
Both are available in Settings → Privacy & data.
