Effective Date: March 15, 2026

Introduction

EmergentOS Inc. (“EmergentOS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our EmergentOS platform and services (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy is hosted at emergentos.ai/privacy.

Information We Collect

  • Account Information: When you register for an account, we collect: email address, name, company name (for business accounts), password (stored using industry-standard hashing), and billing information (processed through third-party payment processors).

  • Usage Data (Metadata): We collect technical and usage information that does not include your content: device information, IP address, log data, performance metrics, feature usage statistics, and integration connection data.

  • Your Content: Data that you manually upload directly to our secure vault is encrypted using your encryption keys before leaving your device; we store this encrypted content but cannot access, read, or process it. However, to provide our core AI-driven features (such as the Chief of Staff and Briefing Agents), data fetched via authorized third-party integrations (like Google Workspace) must be actively processed by our systems and our secure Large Language Model providers (e.g., Google Gemini).

  • Google User Data: When you connect your Google account to EmergentOS, we may access certain Google user data based on the permissions you grant. This may include:

    • Gmail: Email messages, metadata, labels, and attachments that you authorize EmergentOS to access for the purpose of surfacing priorities, generating briefings, and organizing your communications within the platform.

    • Google Calendar: Calendar events, schedules, and attendee information for the purpose of time management, scheduling intelligence, and priority surfacing within the platform.

    • Google Drive: Documents, files, and metadata that you explicitly authorize for the purpose of knowledge management, document organization, and contextual intelligence within the platform.

    • Google Contacts: Contact information for the purpose of relationship intelligence and communication prioritization within the platform.

We access only the Google data scopes that you explicitly authorize during the OAuth consent flow. You can review and revoke our access at any time through your Google Account permissions page at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Data Security
