Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Daedalus (“the app”) handles information, including data it receives from Google APIs. Daedalus is a personal assistant that runs on its owner’s own computer. It is used by its owner and a small number of people at most. There is no Daedalus service, account system, or remote database; the app is the program and the machine it runs on.
What Daedalus accesses
When you connect a Google Account, Daedalus requests only the two permissions it needs to do its job:
| Scope | What it allows | How Daedalus uses it |
|---|---|---|
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events | Read and change events in your Google Calendars. | Answering “what’s on my calendar”, creating events you ask for, deleting events you confirm, and scheduling reminders. |
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks | Read and change your Google Tasks lists. | Listing open tasks, adding tasks you ask for, and marking tasks complete when you confirm. |
Daedalus does not request access to Gmail, Drive, Contacts, Photos, your profile, or any other Google service.
How Google user data is used
- To answer your questions about your schedule and tasks, in the conversation window, in Telegram, or out loud.
- To create, change, complete, or delete the events and tasks you explicitly ask it to.
- To send you the reminders you have configured — a morning digest, and alerts before an event starts or a task is due.
Daedalus does not use Google user data for advertising, does not sell it, does not use it to train or improve machine-learning models, and does not use it for any purpose other than the assistant features described above.
Storage and retention
- The OAuth credentials that let Daedalus talk to Google (an access token and a refresh token) are stored in a file in the app’s own folder on the computer it runs on, readable only by that computer’s user account.
- Calendar events and tasks are not copied to any server. Daedalus reads them from Google when it needs them and keeps only a small local record of which reminders it has already sent, so that it does not notify you twice.
- Conversations you have with the assistant, and any voice recordings it makes when you press the talk hotkey, are processed on the same machine and are not uploaded anywhere.
Sharing
Daedalus does not share Google user data with third parties. It has no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, and no advertising SDKs. Data leaves the computer only as requests to Google’s own APIs, made with your credentials, to carry out the actions you asked for.
Limited Use disclosure
Daedalus’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Deleting your data
You are in control of the data at all times:
- Revoke access: visit myaccount.google.com/permissions and remove Daedalus. Google then invalidates the tokens Daedalus holds, and it can no longer read or change your data.
- Delete the local credentials: removing the token file from the app’s folder on your computer deletes the stored credentials immediately.
- Delete local records: removing the app’s data folder deletes its reminder history and local settings.
Because Google remains the system of record for your calendar and tasks, deleting Daedalus does not change anything in your Google Account.
Children
Daedalus is not directed at children and is not intended for use by anyone under 13.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the revised version will be published on this page with a new “last updated” date. Material changes affecting how Google user data is handled will be reflected here before they take effect.
