Privacy Policy

Open Loops · last updated 12 September 2026

Open Loops is an open-source application that runs entirely on your own computer. The developer operates no servers, collects no data, and has no access to your messages, your accounts, or your usage. This page explains what the software itself touches, locally.

What the app accesses

Gmail (if you connect it): messages you sent and the threads they belong to, read via the Gmail API using an OAuth authorisation you grant. It creates drafts. It sends email only if you explicitly enable sending in its settings.
Slack (if you connect it): your own messages and the conversations they are in, via Slack’s official integration, under your Slack user’s existing permissions.

Where your data goes

Your computer. The list of open requests, learned writing style, logs, and OAuth tokens are stored as plain files in the app’s folder on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to the developer.
Your chosen AI provider. The app works by sending relevant message content to the AI assistant you configure — Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT/Codex (OpenAI) or Grok (xAI) — under your own account with that provider, subject to that provider’s terms and privacy policy. No AI provider is contacted other than the one you choose.
Nowhere else. No analytics, no telemetry, no other third-party services.

Google user data (Limited Use)

Open Loops’ use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Gmail data is used only to provide the app’s user-facing features described above — finding your unanswered requests and drafting follow-ups — and is never sold, never used for advertising, and never transferred except to the AI provider you configure (Claude, OpenAI or Grok), as necessary to provide those features.

Revoking access

Gmail: remove Open Loops in your Google account permissions, and delete state/google_oauth.json from the app folder.
Slack: disconnect the integration in your AI assistant’s connector settings.
Everything else: delete the app folder — that is the entirety of its data.
