Privacy Policy
Jointed Carpentry is a carpentry and remodeling business in Iowa City, Iowa. This policy explains how our internal tool, JC Lead Search, handles information from Google accounts.
What JC Lead Search is
JC Lead Search is a private tool used only by the owner of Jointed Carpentry. It connects an AI assistant (Claude, made by Anthropic) to the owner's own Google accounts so the assistant can help with email, calendar, documents, spreadsheets, files, forms and tasks when the owner asks. It is not offered to the public, and no one outside the business signs in to it.
Information it accesses
- The Google account's email address and basic profile (name), to know which account is signed in.
- Gmail messages, labels and settings; Google Calendar events; Google Drive files; Google Docs, Sheets and Forms; and Google Tasks. These are read or changed only when the owner asks the assistant to do something with them.
How it uses that information
Only to carry out the owner's own requests, such as finding an email, drafting a reply for the owner to review, updating a spreadsheet, or adding a calendar event. The information is not sold, not used for advertising, and not used to build profiles of anyone. We do not use Google user data to develop, improve or train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
Where it is stored
Sign-in credentials are stored on the owner's own computer. JC Lead Search does not run its own server or database and does not keep a copy of your Google data. Content is read from Google when it is needed. If the owner asks the assistant to save something (for example, a summary to a file), it is saved to the owner's own computer or Google Drive.
Who it is shared with
To answer a request, the relevant content is sent to Anthropic, the provider of the Claude assistant, under Anthropic's commercial terms. It is not shared with anyone else, except where the law requires it.
Google API Services User Data Policy
Jointed Carpentry's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Removing access and deleting data
Access can be removed at any time from the Google Account permissions page at myaccount.google.com/permissions. When access is removed, the stored sign-in credentials stop working and are deleted. To ask a question about this policy or request deletion, email red@jointedic.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
