AI Features
Clareio uses artificial intelligence to power several features. When you use these features, your content is processed by our systems and by trusted third-party AI providers under contractual terms that restrict how your data may be used. We do not use your content to train AI models, and the AI providers we work with are contractually prohibited from doing so. AI-generated output may contain errors and should be reviewed before you rely on it.
Email and Inbox Access
When you connect your Gmail account:
- We use secure OAuth, so we never see or store your password
- We have read-only access and cannot send, delete, or modify any emails
- You choose what gets saved into Clareio
- You can revoke access at any time from your account settings
Google API Disclosure
Clareio's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
We only use your Gmail data to provide user-facing features within Clareio. We do not transfer your Gmail data to third parties except as necessary to provide the service or as required by law. We do not use your Gmail data for advertising. We do not allow humans to read your Gmail data unless we have your explicit consent, it is necessary for security purposes, or it is required by law.
Data Security
We follow industry-standard security practices to protect your data. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access to user data is strictly limited to authorized personnel. OAuth tokens can be revoked at any time from your account settings.

Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party providers to operate Clareio, including cloud infrastructure, AI providers, a payment processor, and operational tools for monitoring and communications. When you connect an external account, you interact directly with that service through their official authentication system. We share only the minimum information needed for each service to function, under contractual privacy and security commitments.
