Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2025

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide the service:

  • Your Google account email address (for authentication)
  • Document IDs you select for typing
  • Job metadata (typing status, progress, timing)

2. What We Don't Store

We do not store:

  • Your document content after typing completes
  • Any personal information beyond what's necessary for the service

OAuth Token Storage: Google OAuth tokens are stored securely by our authentication provider (NextAuth) to authenticate requests on your behalf. These tokens are used only to provide the core functionality of the service and are never shared, sold, or used outside this scope.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to:

  • Authenticate you with Google
  • Type text into the documents you select
  • Track job progress and status
  • We do not share your Google user data with third parties.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your Google user data. We do not share your Google user data with third parties for their own purposes.

Your Google user data is only disclosed in the following circumstances:

  • Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or government regulation, we may disclose data to law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
  • Infrastructure providers: We use third-party infrastructure providers (hosting, database services) to operate the service. These providers process data solely on our behalf under strict contractual obligations and do not own, use, or share your Google user data for their own purposes.

We do not use Google user data for advertising, analytics, or training AI models.

5. Google Docs Access — Human-Like Typing

We access Google Docs only to facilitate human-like typing at your request. We do not store essay content or document text long-term; we act as a bridge between the app and your Google Doc. Content flows through our systems only for the duration of the typing job and is not retained for purposes beyond that.

You can revoke access at any time through your Google account settings. We do not allow human review of Google Docs content except when strictly necessary for technical support and only with your explicit consent.

5a. Third-Party Services — Payments & Auth

Stripe handles all payment processing. We do not store your full payment card details. Google handles authentication (OAuth). Your Google account credentials are never shared with us; we receive only tokens that allow us to perform the typing actions you request.

6. Google Limited Use Disclosure

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Google user data is used only to provide the core functionality of the application:

  • To authenticate your identity
  • To access and type text into the Google Docs you select
  • To manage document permissions and access

We do not use Google user data for advertising, analytics, profiling, or training machine learning or AI models. Google user data is not shared with third parties except as explicitly disclosed in Section 4 (Data Sharing and Disclosure).

7. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain data only as long as necessary to provide the service:

  • Job text content: Scrubbed after 30 days for privacy
  • Job metadata: Deleted after 90 days
  • Account data: Retained while your account is active

You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time. Upon account deletion, all your data will be permanently removed within 30 days.

8. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • Encrypted database connections
  • Secure OAuth token storage
  • Regular security audits
  • Access controls and authentication

9. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of your account data
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and all data
  • Revocation: Revoke Google account access at any time
  • Correction: Update your account information
  • Portability: Export your data in a machine-readable format
