Privacy policy.

01 Who operates Ambient

Ambient is operated by Aryan Siddiqui ("we," "us"). This policy explains how we handle personal information when you use Ambient's website, app, and related services.

For privacy questions, contact aryansid@stanford.edu.

02 Information we process

• Account details: your name, email address, sign-in information, and preferences. Google sign-in may provide your name, email, and profile picture; it does not give us your Google password.
• Content you use with Ambient: messages, audio, transcripts, files, images, generated results, and information saved for personalization.
• Optional app and device context: screen or browser content, information from connected services, and location when you enable the relevant features and permissions.
• Service information: device and app information, IP addresses, usage records, errors, and information you send when requesting support.

03 How we use it

We use information to provide Ambient's features, carry out your requests, personalize your experience, maintain your account and history, provide support, and keep the service reliable and secure.

Some features require sending relevant content to online service providers for processing. Your conversations, files, and other information may be stored to provide the service and your saved history.

04 Google account data

Google sign-in and connecting Google apps are separate choices. Signing in with Google alone does not give Ambient access to your Gmail, Calendar, or Drive.

If you connect Google apps, Ambient accesses and uses data within the permissions you grant to provide the features you request. This may include reading or updating messages, calendar events, or files. This can include noticing new emails that may need your attention. Relevant information may be processed by service providers or saved in your history and results.

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Google user data is not sold, used for advertising or credit decisions, or used to train generalized AI or machine-learning models.

Human access and transfers of Google data are limited to what that policy permits, including your consent to access specific data, necessary security investigations, and legal requirements.

You can revoke access in your Google Account connections. To remove previously saved information, use Ambient's controls or contact us.

05 Services and sharing

We share information with service providers as needed for hosting, authentication, storage, email delivery, AI processing, speech, search, and connected-app features. Apps, websites, or recipients you ask Ambient to interact with receive the information needed for those actions.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business transfer, subject to applicable requirements and the additional restrictions on Google data.

We do not sell personal information or share it for third-party advertising. External services have their own privacy practices and retention policies.

06 Storage and retention

Information may be stored on your device and in online services. We retain it as needed to provide your account and requested features, maintain history, resolve support or security issues, and meet applicable obligations.

You can delete supported content in the app or request deletion by email. Deletion may take time, and some information may remain in backups or be retained for security or legal purposes. Uninstalling the app does not delete your online account.

07 Your controls and requests

You can manage device permissions, disconnect services, and use available app settings to manage conversations, personalization, and saved browser information.

For access, correction, export, account deletion, or other privacy requests, email aryansid@stanford.edu. We may verify your identity before acting. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights, including withdrawing consent or contacting a privacy authority.

Ambient and websites you open may use cookies or similar storage for their functions. Third-party websites have their own policies.

08 Security and location

We use reasonable safeguards to protect personal information, but no service can guarantee absolute security. Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate.

Ambient is not directed to children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent.

09 Updates and contact

We may update this policy as Ambient changes. We will publish the current version here with an updated date and provide additional notice or seek consent where required.
