<h1>Newsletter Digest — Privacy Policy</h1>
<p class="meta">Last updated: 16 April 2026</p>

<p>
    Newsletter Digest ("the app") is a personal, single-user tool built and operated by
    Marko Stokić. It reads newsletters delivered to a dedicated Gmail inbox
    (<code>marko.newsagent@gmail.com</code>) and produces local summaries for the
    operator's own reading.
</p>

<h2>Who uses this app</h2>
<p>
    Exactly one person: the operator. There are no other users, no accounts, no sign-ups,
    no public interface. The app does not offer any service to any third party.
</p>

<h2>What data the app accesses</h2>
<p>
    The app uses the Gmail API with the <code>gmail.readonly</code> scope to read messages
    from the dedicated inbox named above. It does not read any other Gmail account, and
    it does not send, modify, or delete email.
</p>
<p>
    Raw message HTML is saved locally on the operator's computer for parsing. No message
    content is transmitted to any server other than the Gmail API (to fetch the messages)
    and Anthropic's Claude API (to distill the top items into a summary). Anthropic
    receives only the subset of newsletter text shortlisted for distillation and does not
    use API traffic for model training, per Anthropic's
    <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy">published privacy policy</a>.
</p>

<h2>What data the app stores</h2>
<ul>
    <li>An OAuth refresh token, stored locally on the operator's machine.</li>
    <li>Raw message HTML, stored locally for sixty days, then deleted.</li>
    <li>A local queue file tracking unread items and token-usage counts.</li>
    <li>Daily summary Markdown files, stored locally.</li>
</ul>
<p>
    Nothing is stored in the cloud, on a database, or on any shared surface. If the
    operator deletes the repository, all local data is gone.
</p>

<h2>Who the app shares data with</h2>
<p>
    No one. The app has no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no third-party
    integrations beyond Gmail and Anthropic (both of which are direct API calls made
    from the operator's machine, not via any intermediary server).
</p>

<h2>How to revoke access</h2>
<p>
    The operator can revoke the app's Gmail access at any time by visiting
    <a href="https://myaccount.google.com/permissions">Google Account Permissions</a>
    and removing "Newsletter Digest" from the list of apps with access.
</p>

<h2>Children's data</h2>
<p>
    The app is not intended for and does not knowingly handle data from children under 13.
</p>

<h2>Changes to this policy</h2>
<p>
    If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at the same URL and
    the "Last updated" date will be changed.
</p>

<h2>Contact</h2>
<p>
    Questions can be sent to <a href="mailto:marko.stokic@proton.me">marko.stokic@proton.me</a>.
