Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how AlignedAI (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use AlignedAI (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to this Policy.

1. Information we collect

  • Account information— your name, email, church or organization, and login details.
  • Content you provide or generate— sermons, documents, transcripts, prompts, and AI output.
  • Connected-app data— data we access from apps you connect, only as needed to run the automations you create.
  • Mobile number & SMS data— if you opt in to SMS, your phone number, consent record, and the messages exchanged with your assistant.
  • Usage data— device, log, and analytics information to operate and improve the Service.

2. How we use information

We use your information to provide and operate the Service, generate the content and automations you request, send the reminders, briefs, and alerts you set up (in-app and via SMS where enabled), maintain security, provide support, and comply with law. We process AI content through trusted model providers solely to deliver the Service to you.

3. SMS messaging

If you opt in to the SMS program, we use your mobile number to send the automated and conversational texts you request from the personal assistant. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help at any time.

We do not sell or share your mobile opt-in information, phone number, or SMS consent with third parties for their own marketing purposes. SMS data is used only to operate the assistant features you have enabled and is shared with our messaging provider (Twilio) solely to deliver your messages.

4. How we share information

We share information only with service providers who help us run the Service (such as hosting, AI model, and messaging providers) under confidentiality obligations; with apps you choose to connect; and when required by law or to protect rights and safety. We do not sell your personal information.

5. Google user data & Limited Use

When you choose to connect a Google account, AlignedAI accesses Google user data through Google APIs strictly to power the assistant and automation features you enable. This section discloses exactly what we access, how we use it, whether we share it, and how it is stored, retained, and deleted.

Data we access. Only after you connect Google and grant consent, and only for the scopes you approve:

  • Basic profile & email (openid, email, profile) — to identify the connected account.
  • Gmail (gmail.readonly, gmail.compose, gmail.send) — read recent messages to produce summaries you request, and create, read, and send drafts/emails you ask the assistant to write or send.
  • Google Calendar (calendar.readonly, calendar.events) — read your calendar to show upcoming events and daily briefs, and create, update, or delete events you ask the assistant to schedule.
  • Google Drive (drive.readonly, drive.file) — list and read files you reference so the assistant can use them, and create new Google Docs that AlignedAI itself creates (drive.file is limited to app-created files).
  • Google Contacts (contacts.readonly, contacts.other.readonly) — resolve a recipient's name to an email address when you compose a message.

How we use it. Google user data is used solely to provide the user-facing features described above, at your direction. We do not use Gmail, Calendar, Drive, or Contacts data for advertising, and we do not use it to train, fine-tune, or develop generalized AI/ML models. Email or document content is sent to our AI model provider only when needed to fulfill a specific request you make (for example, summarizing an email you asked us to read), and only transiently to return that result to you.

How we share it. We do not sell Google user data and do not share it with third parties for their own purposes. We share it only with the infrastructure and AI subprocessors that operate the Service (hosting and our AI model provider) under confidentiality obligations, solely to deliver the feature you requested, and as required by law.

How we store & protect it.Google OAuth access and refresh tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM and transmitted over TLS. Access is restricted by authentication and row-level data isolation so one church cannot access another's connection or data. We do not retain copies of your Gmail, Calendar, Drive, or Contacts beyond what is needed to display a result you requested.

Retention & deletion. You can disconnect a Google account at any time from the Connections panel; doing so deletes the stored tokens for that connection. You may also request deletion of your account and associated data by emailing our support team, after which we delete your data within a reasonable period unless a longer period is required by law. You can additionally revoke AlignedAI's access from your Google Account permissions page.

Limited Use.AlignedAI's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

6. Data retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, then delete or anonymize it within a reasonable period unless a longer period is required by law. You can request deletion of your data at any time.

7. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards, including encryption of sensitive credentials, access controls, and row-level data isolation between churches. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.

8. Your choices

  • Opt out of SMS at any time by replying STOP or unpairing your number in settings.
  • Disconnect any connected app from your account settings.
  • Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data.

9. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

10. Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated date.
