Nudge Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

This policy explains how Nudge handles information when you use its website, WhatsApp assistant, and Gmail features. Nudge is operated by Kunal Kapur. Contact: kunalkapur1511@gmail.com.

Information Nudge handles

Nudge handles your verified phone number and account/session information to provide your account. If you connect Gmail, Google shares the Google account email address and the Gmail access you approve. Nudge stores OAuth access and refresh tokens in encrypted form so it can perform the Gmail actions you request. Nudge does not store copies of Gmail messages or attachments in its database. Email content is retrieved from Gmail when needed to fulfill a request.

How Gmail data is used and shared

Nudge uses Gmail data only to provide email features visible in the product: finding and reading messages, thread summaries and action items, preparing reply drafts, sending a reply after your confirmation, managing labels, and email alerts you choose to configure when available. Nudge does not use Gmail data for advertising, sell it, or use it to train generalized AI models.

When you request an AI summary or action-item analysis, the relevant email thread text is sent to Meta Model API (Muse) to generate that response. The thread is sent for that specific user-requested feature; it is not retained by Nudge as a message archive. Meta processes API content under its applicable service terms and privacy policy; service-side processing, safety, and operational retention may apply. Nudge does not authorize Meta to use Gmail content to train generalized models. For ordinary mailbox search, reading, label changes, and sending, Nudge calls the Gmail API directly and does not send message contents to the AI provider.

Users should not request summaries or analysis of email they are not authorized to share with the AI processing service. Nudge does not allow staff to read Gmail content as part of normal service operations.

Google data limits

Nudge’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Gmail data is used only to provide user-facing features you choose to use, with your consent. Nudge does not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or use it to train generalized AI models.

Storage, security, and retention

Nudge stores account and service records in PostgreSQL. OAuth credentials are encrypted using an application-managed encryption key and are kept while your Google account remains connected. Nudge retrieves message content from Gmail for the operation you request and does not persist it as a local message archive. Email alert rules and the minimum identifiers needed to avoid sending the same alert repeatedly may be stored if you enable alerts. WhatsApp conversation records are handled separately under the Nudge service’s message-retention practices.

Disconnecting Gmail revokes the Google grant and removes the encrypted credentials from Nudge. You can also revoke Nudge from your Google Account security settings. Deleting a Nudge account removes its linked OAuth credentials and account records, subject to any records Nudge must retain by law. Data in Google or WhatsApp accounts is not deleted when you disconnect Nudge.

Nudge uses HTTPS for network connections, access controls for account data, and application-layer encryption for stored Google OAuth credentials. No online service can promise absolute security.

Service providers

Nudge uses Google Gmail API to access Gmail, Meta services to provide the WhatsApp channel and the requested Muse AI features, and Render and PostgreSQL hosting to operate the service. Those providers process information as needed to provide their services under their own terms and policies. Nudge does not share Gmail data with advertising services or data brokers.

Your choices and contact

You can choose whether to connect Gmail, confirm before Nudge sends a reply, disconnect Google access, and revoke access from your Google Account. To ask a privacy question or request account-data deletion, email kunalkapur1511@gmail.com.
