What Grenier can and can't see

When you connect Gmail, Grenier reads your messages 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, and the original is thrown away.

That summary is written by an AI, and the AI keeps nothing: it processes each message only to produce the one-line summary, then lets it go. It doesn't store your email or use it to train anything.

What Grenier actually stores is small: your contacts, those short summaries, and any notes you write — encrypted so only you can open them. We don't keep the raw text of your emails, your attachments, or your calendar event bodies.

Grenier's access is read-only. It can never send, delete, or change anything in your inbox.

We never sell or share your data — not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to train anyone's AI. And you stay in control: from Settings you can export everything, delete it all (gone for good after 30 days), or disconnect Gmail in one tap, anytime.

The technical details, for the curious: the AI that writes summaries is Groq, an external provider that doesn't retain your content or train on it; everything Grenier stores is encrypted with AES-256 at rest; and the Gmail connection uses Google's read-only permission, so Grenier literally cannot change your mailbox.
