Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

1. Who we are

Unfret is made by Sam Christophersen, an independent developer based in Virginia, United States. You can reach us about privacy at hello@getunfret.com. This policy covers the Unfret macOS application. It does not cover Anthropic's or Google's own handling of your data when you use their services — those are governed by their respective privacy policies.

2. Our core principle: local-first

Unfret is a "local-first" app. Your vault — the folder on your Mac that holds your tasks, notes, document files, drafts, and the things Unfret has learned about how you work — is stored on your device, as ordinary files you can open, back up, or delete yourself. Unfret has no central server that collects or stores this content. If you delete the app, your vault stays, readable, on your Mac.

3. The accounts you connect

Unfret only works once you connect your own accounts. It acts on your behalf, using your credentials:

• Google (Gmail and Calendar). With your permission, Unfret reads your email and calendar to triage your inbox, build your task list, and keep your day organized; it can label or mark messages as read, draft replies, and add calendar events — always under the rules you set, and asking first for anything it sends. It requests permission to see, compose, send, and modify your email (gmail.modify, gmail.send) and to see and change events on your calendars (calendar).
• Anthropic (Claude). Unfret uses your own Claude account as the intelligence that reads and understands your email and documents. The content Unfret is working on is sent to Anthropic through your account to generate triage decisions, drafts, and summaries. Anthropic does not use data submitted through its API to train its models. We never see this content — it goes directly from your Mac to your Anthropic account.

4. What stays on your Mac

All of this lives only on your device and is never sent to us: your vault and its files, your task list, your settings and preferences, message drafts, the document files you have Unfret organize, what Unfret has learned about your voice and your rules, and its activity history and logs.

5. What leaves your Mac, and where it goes

What	Where	Why	Stored by us?
Email & calendar content	Google's APIs (your account)	To read and organize your mail and calendar	No
Email & document content being worked on	Anthropic / Claude (your account)	To generate triage, drafts, and summaries	No
Crash reports — only if you opt in	Our error-reporting provider (Sentry)	To find and fix bugs	See §6
Feedback — only when you click send	The developer's issue tracker	To act on what you report	See §7

Unfret contains no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. There is no background telemetry that contains your content.

6. Crash reports (off by default)

If — and only if — you turn on crash reporting during setup, Unfret sends a diagnostic report when it crashes, through Sentry. These reports are scrubbed: they contain technical details (error type, the line of code, app version), never the contents of your email, messages, documents, or vault. You can turn this off at any time in Settings.

7. Feedback (only when you send it)

If you use "Send feedback," Unfret attaches a bundle of non-content diagnostics (counts, timings, error codes, the kind of action involved — never the text of your emails or documents) plus whatever note you type. You see exactly what's included and preview it before anything is sent. Nothing is sent unless you click send.

8. Google API Limited Use disclosure

Unfret's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically:

• We only access your Google data to provide and improve Unfret's user-facing features, at your direction.
• We do not use Google user data for advertising.
• We do not sell Google user data.
• We do not use Google user data to train generalized or non-personalized AI/ML models. Content sent to your Anthropic account is used to perform the features you request and is not used by Anthropic to train its models.
• We do not allow humans to read your Google data, except with your explicit consent (e.g. a support request you initiate), where necessary for security or to comply with applicable law, or where the data is aggregated and anonymized.

9. We don't sell your data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We don't share it with third parties except the service providers named in this policy (Google and Anthropic, under your own accounts; and, if you opt in, our crash-reporting and feedback providers), each only to the extent needed to provide the feature.

10. Security

Your account credentials and tokens are stored in the macOS Keychain and encrypted at rest on your device; they are never placed in your vault or sent to us. Data in transit to Google and Anthropic uses encrypted (HTTPS) connections. Because your data lives on your Mac, its security also depends on your device — we recommend a strong login password and FileVault disk encryption.

11. Your controls

You can, at any time: disconnect Google or Anthropic and revoke Unfret's access from your Google Account settings; review and delete what Unfret has learned about you, in Settings; delete your vault; and turn off crash reporting and feedback. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), the GDPR/UK GDPR, or CCPA/CPRA to access or delete personal data — though in Unfret's case, that data already lives in your hands, on your Mac. Contact hello@getunfret.com with any request.

12. Children

Unfret is not directed to, and not intended for, children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from them.

13. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for material changes, notify you in the app. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
