YAGNI, Inc. (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you use the YAGNI web application at https://yagni.app (our “Site” or “Service”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
I. Information We Collect
A. Account and Profile Information
When you create an account or subscribe to YAGNI, we collect:
- Name and email address, to identify your account and communicate with you.
- Payment information, collected and processed by Stripe, our payment processor. We do not store full payment card details on our systems.
B. Usage Data
We collect information about how you interact with our Service, including:
- Pages viewed, features used, and session duration.
- Browser type, operating system, and IP address.
C. User Content
We collect messages, goals, tasks, meeting notes, and other content you create within your YAGNI workspace.
D. Google Workspace Data
YAGNI integrates with Google Workspace to deliver its core functionality: providing you with full context across your productivity tools so your agent coworkers can act on your behalf. When you connect your Google account, we access the following data via Google OAuth:
| Google Service | OAuth Scope | What We Access | Why We Access It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gmail | gmail.modify | Email messages, threads, labels, and metadata; ability to compose and send on your behalf | To give YAGNI context from your communications, draft responses, and send messages you approve |
| Google Drive | drive.readonly | Metadata and content of all files in your Drive | To surface relevant documents in YAGNI’s context engine so the @yagni agent has full visibility into your files |
| Google Drive | drive.file | Files you explicitly open or create through YAGNI | To read, edit, and create Drive files directly within YAGNI’s workflows |
| Google Docs | documents | Content and metadata of Google Docs documents | To read documents for context and to draft, edit, or create Docs on your behalf |
| Google Sheets | spreadsheets | Content and metadata of Google Sheets spreadsheets | To read spreadsheet data for context and to update or create Sheets within YAGNI workflows |
| Google Slides | presentations | Content and metadata of Google Slides presentations | To read presentations for context and to create or edit Slides on your behalf |
| Google Calendar | calendar.readonly | All calendars you can access, including event details, attendees, and scheduling data | To give YAGNI context about your schedule for meeting prep, briefs, and time-aware decision support |
| Google Calendar | calendar.events | View and edit events across all your calendars | To create, update, or reschedule calendar events within YAGNI workflows |
| Google Contacts | contacts.readonly | Contact names, email addresses, and associated metadata | To identify stakeholders, enrich meeting context, and support communication workflows |
We access only the data necessary to deliver YAGNI’s features. Broad scopes like drive.readonly are essential to YAGNI’s core value proposition: the whole point of the product is having all the context.
E. AI Processing of Your Data
YAGNI’s agent features (including email triage, meeting preparation, document drafting, and conversational assistance) are powered by third-party AI language models. When you interact with @yagni or when the Service processes your data to provide its features, your User Content (including data from connected Google Workspace services) may be sent to the following AI providers for processing:
- Anthropic and OpenAI: provide language models used for eligible reasoning, drafting, and fallback tasks.
- Fireworks AI and Together AI: provide hosted language models used for eligible processing tasks.
- Amazon Web Services (Bedrock): provides model processing when configured for an eligible workspace or task.
- Google (Gemini API): provides embedding models used to index your content for semantic search within your workspace.
Data sent to these providers is used solely to generate responses and embeddings for the Service. We use provider API or business services, not consumer chat products. Providers receive User Content only when needed for the requested processing, subject to the applicable service terms and data processing terms. Contact us for the current subprocessor and data-handling details.
F. Error Monitoring and Product Analytics
To operate and improve the Service, we share limited technical and usage data with the following infrastructure providers:
- Sentry: error and performance monitoring. When the Service encounters an error, we send diagnostic data to Sentry including stack traces, error messages, runtime environment (browser, operating system, application version), and pseudonymous identifiers (user, workspace, and customer IDs, which are opaque UUIDs). We explicitly disable Sentry’s default PII collection, scrub sensitive fields (authorization headers, cookies, tokens, API keys, database URLs) from all events before transmission, and mask all text and form inputs in any session recordings. We do not send email addresses, names, message content, file content, or any Google Workspace data to Sentry.
- Mixpanel: product analytics. We send event data about how you use YAGNI (features accessed, actions taken, anonymized page paths, workspace metadata) to Mixpanel so we can understand aggregate usage patterns and improve the product. Mixpanel also receives your email address and display name as user profile properties, solely to identify your account for cohort and retention analysis. We do not send message content, file content, or any Google Workspace data (Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, or Contacts content) to Mixpanel, and all event properties are scrubbed of sensitive fields before transmission.
- Temporal Cloud: durable workflow orchestration. We send operational workflow metadata to Temporal Cloud, such as workflow IDs, task queue names, execution status, retry history, timestamps, and limited workflow/activity inputs needed to coordinate background jobs. We do not intentionally send message content, file content, payment card details, OAuth tokens, API keys, or raw Google Workspace content to Temporal Cloud.

- Google Calendar: We read your calendar data to power YAGNI’s scheduling context, meeting briefs, and time-aware recommendations. We create or edit events only when you direct @yagni to do so.

V. Data Security
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information, including data accessed via Google APIs, from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.
Specific security practices include:
- Encryption in transit: All data transferred between your browser, YAGNI’s servers, and Google’s APIs is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security).
- Encryption at rest: User data, including cached Google Workspace data stored to power YAGNI’s context engine, is encrypted at rest on Fly.io infrastructure.
- Access controls: Access to user data within our systems is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis. Production data access is logged and reviewed.
- Per-workspace data isolation: Customer data is isolated per workspace using application-level access controls. Every database query that touches customer-scoped data is filtered by workspace, preventing cross-account data access.
- Google secure data handling: We handle Google user data in accordance with Google’s secure data handling requirements as specified in the Google API Services User Data Policy.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Please keep your account credentials confidential and contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
