Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 8, 2026

Overview

Remind is a macOS desktop application that provides meeting reminders and optional AI-powered meeting preparation. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data Remind accesses, how it is used, and how it is stored.

What Data We Access

Google Calendar Data

When you connect your Google account, Remind requests read-only access to your Google Calendar (calendar.readonly scope). This allows Remind to:

• Read your upcoming calendar events (title, time, location, attendees, meeting links)
• Display meeting reminders at configured times
• Extract video meeting links (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet) for one-click join

Remind does not create, modify, or delete any calendar events. Access is strictly read-only.

Google Account Profile

Remind accesses your basic Google profile (email address) solely to display which account is connected in the app settings.

Email Data (Optional, Pro)

Remind connects via Nylas, a secure email gateway, to search for recent email threads with your meeting attendees. Nylas handles OAuth authentication with your email provider (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) — Remind never sees your email password. This email content is:

• Stateless pass-through — Nylas acts as a gateway; your email data passes through but is not stored by Nylas
• Read in memory only — email content is read in memory, sent to your AI provider, and discarded
• Sent directly to your AI provider — the content is passed to your chosen AI provider (using your own API key) as context for generating your meeting briefing
• Never sent to Remind's servers — email content never leaves your machine except to your chosen AI provider

Only the AI-generated briefing summary is cached locally on your Mac (for 30 days).

Slack Data (Optional, Pro)

If you connect Slack, Remind searches for recent messages with your meeting attendees. Slack messages are fetched on-demand, passed to your AI provider for context, and discarded immediately. No Slack message content is stored on disk or sent to Remind's servers.

How Your Data Is Used

• Calendar events are fetched periodically (every 2 minutes) and stored temporarily in memory to power reminders. They are not persisted to disk or sent to any external server.
• Attendee information (names and email addresses from calendar events) may be used by the optional AI meeting prep feature (Pro). If enabled, this information is sent directly to your chosen AI provider using your own API key. It is never sent to our servers.
• OAuth tokens are stored securely in your Mac's Keychain. They are never transmitted anywhere other than directly to Google's authentication servers.

What We Do NOT Do

• We do not sell, share, or transfer your data to any third parties
• We do not use your data for advertising
• We do not store your calendar data on any server
• We do not collect analytics or usage tracking
• We do not store your raw email content on disk or on any server

Data Storage

All data stays on your Mac:

• OAuth tokens: macOS Keychain (encrypted by the operating system)
• App settings: macOS UserDefaults (local to your machine)
• AI research cache: Local CoreData database (if Pro features are used)

No calendar data, tokens, or personal information is transmitted to Remind's servers. The only network communication with our backend is for optional SMS reminders (Pro) and license validation (Pro).

Third-Party Services

• Google APIs: Calendar data is fetched directly from Google using OAuth 2.0. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• Nylas (optional, Pro): If you connect your email for meeting prep, Nylas acts as a secure gateway to your email provider. Governed by Nylas's Privacy Policy.
• Slack (optional, Pro): If you connect Slack, Remind accesses your Slack workspace via OAuth to fetch recent messages with meeting attendees. Governed by Slack's Privacy Policy.
• AI Providers (optional, Pro): If you enable AI meeting prep and provide your own API key, attendee names and recent context from email and Slack (if connected) are sent to your chosen AI provider for research. This goes directly from your Mac to the AI provider — never through our servers. Governed by the respective provider's privacy policy.
• Twilio (optional, Pro): If you enable SMS reminders, your phone number and meeting times are sent to Twilio for text message delivery.

Revoking Access

You can disconnect your Google account at any time from Remind's Settings > Accounts. You can also revoke Remind's access from your Google Account permissions page. To disconnect Slack, use Settings > Accounts or revoke access from your Slack workspace settings. When you disconnect any account, all stored tokens are deleted from your Keychain.

Google API Services User Data Policy

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

Children's Privacy

Remind is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
