Privacy Policy

Overview

Maude is a personal, single-user terminal application operated solely by its developer. It is not offered as a service to the public. This privacy policy describes how Maude handles data when connecting to Google Workspace APIs.

Data Collection

Maude does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or Google user data to third parties. No analytics, tracking, cookies, or telemetry of any kind are used.

Google Workspace Data

When the user issues a command that involves a Google service, Maude calls the relevant Google API and displays the response in the terminal. API responses are used transiently during the session and are not persisted to disk or forwarded to any external service.

Maude requests access to the following Google services, each for a specific purpose driven by user commands:

• Gmail — Read, compose, and send emails on the user's behalf when they issue email-related commands.
• Google Drive — List, search, read, and upload files so the user can manage their Drive storage from the terminal.
• Google Sheets — Read and write spreadsheet data when the user requests spreadsheet operations.
• Google Slides — Create and edit presentations when the user requests slide-related tasks.
• Google Calendar — View, create, and modify calendar events so the user can manage their schedule.
• Google Contacts — Look up contact information when the user needs to reference or manage their contacts.
• YouTube — Search and retrieve video metadata when the user requests YouTube-related queries.

In every case, data is fetched only in direct response to an explicit user command, displayed in the terminal, and discarded at the end of the session. No Google user data is stored, cached, or transmitted to any third party.

Authentication & Credentials

Maude uses Google OAuth 2.0 for authentication. The OAuth refresh token is stored locally on the user's own machine in an application-specific configuration directory. Credentials are never shared, uploaded, or transmitted to any third party.

Data Retention

Maude does not retain any Google user data beyond the current terminal session. No databases, logs, or caches of Google data are maintained.

Data Sharing

No user data is shared with any third party, service, or individual under any circumstances.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
