Connect your Gmail

Connecting your Gmail lets Grenier read your messages — both who you exchanged them with and the message text — so it can work out who matters to you and when you last spoke.

It needs the full text to do that, but it doesn't keep it: each message is turned into a short summary by an AI, and the original is discarded. The summary writer is Groq, an external provider that doesn't retain your content or train on it; if Groq is unavailable, summarizing fails and is retried later — your content is never sent anywhere else.

The connection is strictly read-only: Grenier never sends, deletes, or modifies any email on your behalf, and you can disconnect at any time from Settings. What Grenier stores is never shared or sold, and the summaries it keeps are encrypted at rest — the privacy promise lists what is encrypted, field by field.
