Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how OpenClaw ("the app", "we") handles information obtained from Google APIs when you connect a Google account to it.

1. Who operates this app

OpenClaw is a private, self-hosted personal assistant operated by an individual for personal and household use. It is not offered as a public service and has no registration or customer accounts.

2. What Google user data we access

Only after you grant consent through Google's OAuth screen, and only within the scopes you approve, the app may access:

• Gmail — message metadata, message bodies, and the ability to send mail on your behalf when you ask it to.
• Google Calendar — calendar lists, event details, and the ability to create or delete events.
• Google Drive — file and folder metadata, file contents, and the ability to create or share files.
• Google Docs, Sheets, Slides — document content, and the ability to create or append content.

The app does not access Google data you have not consented to.

3. How we use Google user data

Data is used solely to perform the actions you request in conversation — for example reading an email, creating a calendar event, or drafting a document. Specifically, we use it to:

• carry out the task you asked for;
• maintain short-term working context so the assistant can follow the thread of your request;
• keep a minimal local record (such as a copied event or note) when you ask for one.

4. How we store and protect data

All processing happens on hardware controlled by the operator. OAuth credentials (refresh tokens) are stored locally on that hardware in a restricted-permission file and are never published. Where data leaves the machine, it goes only to the AI model provider configured by the operator for the purpose of generating a response; it is not provided to any other party.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade Google user data. We do not transfer Google user data to advertisers, data brokers, or credit-reporting agencies. We do not use Google user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes. We disclose data only when you explicitly ask us to (for example, sending an email you dictated).

6. AI/ML use

Google user data is not used to develop, improve, or train generalized artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.

7. Retention and deletion

• Data is retained only as long as needed for the task at hand.
• You may request deletion of stored data at any time by contacting us at the address below; we will delete it within 30 days.
• You can revoke the app's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revocation immediately stops all further access; the stored refresh token is then invalid.

8. Limited Use disclosure

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

9. Children

The app is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

10. Changes

This policy may be updated occasionally. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
