Life Compass

Data connections and privacy

Life Compass is operated by Benjamin Richter. For questions, account access or a data-deletion request, contact benjirichter53@gmail.com.

What you connect

After signing into Life Compass and turning on AI, you can authorize Google, Microsoft or Plaud and choose the sources to import. Provider sign-in connects data; it does not create or sign into a Life Compass account. Life Compass only reads your sources: it never sends, deletes, files or drafts email, and it never changes your calendar.

Availability can be limited. Google connections are limited to approved testers while Google’s verification is pending; you can request access in the app. Microsoft personal accounts connect right away, and work or school accounts may need approval from your IT administrator.

How the data is used

Your imported sources support your private calendar, source reading and search, and the AI features: the morning brief and evening review, which run automatically at the times you choose (you can pause them or run them yourself), and Moneypenny chat. When these run, the text of the relevant tasks, messages, events and recordings is sent to the AI provider whose account you connected: Anthropic (your API key), OpenRouter (your account) or OpenAI (your API key). Voice is not offered to new accounts yet; where an existing account has voice, speech audio or text is also sent to ElevenLabs for transcription and speech generation.

These services operate outside your email or calendar provider. You pay your AI provider directly; Life Compass does not charge for AI. Anthropic states that commercial API inputs and outputs are not used for model training by default; its training policy and retention policy describe the terms and exceptions. OpenRouter passes requests to the company that runs the chosen model; Life Compass asks it to use only providers that do not collect or train on your data and, where a model has them, zero-data-retention endpoints (see OpenRouter’s privacy information). Requests to OpenAI are sent with storage turned off; OpenAI states that API content is not used for training by default and may be kept up to 30 days for abuse monitoring (see its data controls). Life Compass does not promise zero retention by its service providers. Obtain any required organizational approval before connecting company data or using it with AI.

Life Compass does not sell your connected data or use it for advertising or model training. Life Compass’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Storage and access

Life Compass stores imported data in private Cloudflare cloud storage associated with your workspace. Provider access and refresh tokens, and the AI key you connect, are encrypted and used on the server. Provider passwords are entered on the provider’s own sign-in pages and are not collected by the Life Compass application. Connection status, source coverage and sync times are visible in Connections & AI.

Source content is excluded from routine diagnostic logs. Account and connection access is restricted to authorized workspace users. The operator may help diagnose a problem with your permission or when necessary to protect the service.

Disconnecting and deletion

Disconnecting removes Life Compass’s saved provider access tokens and stops new collection. Previously imported copies are retained for your review and excluded from active evidence. You can also withdraw Life Compass’s access through the provider’s connected-app settings. To delete retained copies or the account, contact the address above; deletion requests require verification of account ownership.

This notice describes the private cloud application’s current connections. The released offline iOS app has its own data flows and notice. Material changes to connected-data use will be disclosed before that use begins.
