MyEA is a virtual executive assistant. This policy explains, in plain English, what the app can see and what it does with it.
You sign in with Apple (we receive your name and email). You then connect ONE email and calendar account, either Google or iCloud.
If you connect a Google account, MyEA can read your Gmail, read your calendars, add and change the calendar entries you ask for, and create drafts in your Gmail. It does not read your Google Drive. It cannot delete email.
If you connect an iCloud account, you give MyEA an app-specific password that you create at appleid.apple.com and can revoke there at any time. With it, MyEA can read your iCloud Mail, read and write your iCloud Calendar, and create drafts in your iCloud Drafts folder. Apple does not offer a read-only option for this, so the password technically permits more than MyEA uses; MyEA never deletes mail. That password is stored encrypted and is never readable by anyone looking at our database. There is no iCloud Drive access.
Whichever you connect: by default MyEA cannot send email. Every reply it writes is a draft in your own account that only you can send. If you turn on the optional "Send emails I approve" setting, then an email you explicitly approve in the app is sent from your account at that moment; even with this setting on, MyEA never sends anything without your tap.
The News tab (added September 2026) uses three outside services, and only for what you see there. Weather: the home base you set in the app, and, only if you switch on "Weather where I am", your phone's position while you use the app, are sent to the United States National Weather Service (api.weather.gov) to fetch a forecast. The position is rounded to about a hundred metres before it is kept, is sent at about a kilometre, is kept for six hours and then forgotten, and is deleted at once when you switch the setting off. Places: when a calendar entry you have accepted names a place, the city and state (never the street address) are sent to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service to find them on the map. Headlines: the app reads Google News feeds for the interests you tick; nothing about you is sent to Google News beyond the request itself. None of these services receives your name, your email, or your mail.
Your email and calendar data is used for exactly one purpose: producing your own briefing, triage, drafts, follow-ups, and answers inside the app. Email content is processed by Anthropic's Claude API to generate these, under Anthropic's commercial terms, which do not permit your content to be used to train Anthropic's models. Triage verdicts and reply drafts are stored so your app stays consistent; your Google access credentials, or your iCloud app-specific password, are stored encrypted at our hosting provider (Render). Each user's data is isolated; no user can ever see another's.
Information MyEA receives from Google is used only to provide and improve the features you see in the app. MyEA's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Your Google data is never used for advertising, is never sold, and is read by a person only with your consent for support or security, or where the law requires.
When you chat with MyEA inside the app, the conversation is stored on the server: what you asked, what MyEA replied, and which actions it actually took. This record exists so MyEA's accuracy can be audited, so every claim it makes can be checked against what really happened, and so recurring needs can improve the app. Your conversations are isolated to your account, are never shared with anyone, and are deleted when your account is deleted.
If you attach a screenshot to a question, it is shown to the assistant to answer that question and kept with the conversation for ten days, so the people who make MyEA can look into a problem you report. After ten days it is deleted. The conversation record keeps a note that a screenshot was attached.
If you forward text messages to MyEA, they are stored and treated like email: used only for your own screens and answers, deleted with your account.
No selling of data. No advertising. No tracking across other apps or websites. And it never sends, schedules, or automates any email on its own. An email leaves your account only when you personally approve it, either by pressing Send in your mail app (the default) or by approving it in the app with the optional send setting turned on.
Your data is kept while your account exists so the app stays consistent from day to day. It is deleted when you delete your account. Conversation records exist so MyEA's accuracy can be audited and are deleted with the account.
To delete your MyEA account and everything stored about you, open Settings in the app and tap Delete my account. This disconnects your email account, removes your data from our server, and ends your sign-in with Apple for MyEA. Disconnecting Google alone (Settings, Connections, or myaccount.google.com/permissions) cuts the app's access immediately while keeping your account.
