Privacy
SHIRO (private) is Bao Vo’s personal assistant. Bao is its only user.
What it reads from Google
- Gmail, read-only (
gmail.readonly): Bao’s own email, to see what is waiting for him. - Google Calendar, read-only (
calendar.readonly): Bao’s own calendar, to see his schedule.
It can’t send email, change events or delete anything. It also asks Google for Bao’s email address, only to know which account is connected.
How it is used
To prepare Bao’s own day: what needs his attention, what is due, and what is on his calendar. It is used for nothing else.
Where it is stored
There is no SHIRO server. What SHIRO reads is stored on Bao’s own computer.
Who it is shared with
Only the services that do SHIRO’s work, and only to do that work. Nothing is sold.
- Anthropic (Claude) receives the text SHIRO works on, which can include parts of Bao’s email and calendar.
- Cartesia receives the text SHIRO reads aloud.
- AssemblyAI receives audio from Bao’s microphone or recordings. SHIRO deletes it there after saving the transcript.
Each service keeps what it receives under its own terms.
SHIRO shows no ads and has no analytics.
SHIRO’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Who can use it
Only Bao. No one else can sign in, and there are no other accounts.
How to remove its access
Open myaccount.google.com/permissions, choose SHIRO (private), and remove access. After that, SHIRO can’t read Gmail or Calendar. What it already read stays on Bao’s computer until he deletes it, with SHIRO’s Forget or by deleting SHIRO’s database.
