Effective October 14, 2026
Privacy policy
Axiom Companion is a private, single-user personal assistant operated by and for Stephen Bottke. This policy describes its handling of Google user data and related planning records.
Scope
This policy applies to Axiom Companion’s use of Google APIs and the records created from user-requested planning and reconciliation work. Axiom Companion is not offered to the public and does not provide public user accounts.
Google data Axiom may access
Depending on the feature Stephen invokes, Axiom Companion may access:
- Google Calendar: calendar metadata and event details; and, after explicit authorization, creation, modification, or deletion of events on calendars Stephen owns or has authorized.
- Google Drive: read-only file metadata used to locate user-requested planning material. Axiom does not receive general Drive file-content access through this permission.
- Google Sheets: read-only spreadsheet content when Stephen asks Axiom to inspect or analyze a specific workbook.
Axiom Companion does not use these permissions to access Gmail.
How the data is used
Google user data is used only to provide user-facing features Stephen requests, such as:
- reviewing commitments and calendar evidence;
- drafting and validating weekly plans;
- writing approved events and verifying them by reading them back;
- reconciling planned, forecast, and actual time; and
- producing user-controlled planning records and analysis.
Axiom Companion does not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or use it to determine creditworthiness, insurance eligibility, employment eligibility, or other unrelated purposes.
AI-assisted processing and service providers
Axiom is an AI-assisted system. When Stephen requests analysis or action involving Google data, the minimum information reasonably necessary for that request may be processed by the AI model provider configured for the active Axiom session and by infrastructure providers necessary to deliver that feature.
Such processing is limited to providing the user-requested function. Axiom Companion does not authorize Google user data to be used for advertising or for training generalized AI models, and it does not disclose Google user data to unrelated data brokers or commercial partners.
Storage, security, and retention
- OAuth credentials are stored on Stephen’s device in files restricted to Stephen’s operating-system account.
- Planning exports and reconciliation records are stored in systems Stephen controls. Copies may exist in backup or synchronization services Stephen has separately chosen.
- Transient processing data may exist in operational logs or provider systems according to the configured provider’s retention terms.
- Credentials are retained until replaced, revoked, or deleted. Planning records are retained until Stephen deletes them under his own records policy.
No security measure is infallible. Axiom’s operating posture is to minimize access, use least privilege, require explicit authorization for consequential writes, and verify external changes after they occur.
Sharing and transfer
Axiom Companion shares Google user data only with service providers necessary to perform Stephen’s requested operation, as described above, or when legally required. It does not sell or rent that data.
Axiom Companion’s use and transfer to any other application of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Control, revocation, and deletion
Stephen can stop future Google API access by removing Axiom Companion from the Google Account third-party connections page. He can also delete the locally stored OAuth token and any locally retained planning exports.
Revoking Google access prevents new API access but does not automatically delete planning records already exported to user-controlled storage or backups. Those records must be deleted from their respective storage locations.
Changes to this policy
This policy will be updated before Axiom materially broadens its Google data access, purposes, recipients, or retention practices. The effective date at the top identifies the current version.
