1. Introduction
Muneo ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our relationship protection service.
This policy applies to users worldwide, including the European Union, United States, and Canada. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
2. Data Controller
The data controller responsible for your personal data is:
- Company: Muneo Inc
- Location: Quebec, Canada
- Privacy Contact: privacy@muneo.app
3. Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly to us, including:
- Account information: Name, email address, and profile picture from your Google or Microsoft account
- Email data: Email metadata (sender, subject, date) and content to identify follow-ups and generate draft responses
- Calendar data: Calendar events, attendees, and meeting details for meeting preparation features
- Usage data: How you interact with our service, preferences, and settings
4. Google API Services
Muneo uses Google API Services to provide its core functionality for users who connect their Google account. We access the following Google user data:
Gmail Data (gmail.readonly)
We request read-only access to Gmail to identify email threads where you have received a message but have not yet replied. Specifically, we read the sender address, subject line, received date, and message snippet to surface follow-ups that need your attention. We access the full message body only when you explicitly open a thread inside Muneo. We never send, modify, or delete emails on your behalf. We store only the metadata (sender, subject, date, snippet) needed to display your follow-up list; full email bodies are processed in memory and not persisted.
Google Calendar Data (calendar.readonly)
We request read-only access to Google Calendar to show you upcoming meetings alongside relevant unanswered emails from the same attendees, so you can prepare before each call. We read event summaries, start/end times, and attendee email addresses. We never create, modify, or delete calendar events.
Google API Services User Data Policy: Limited Use Disclosure
Muneo'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:
- Google user data is used only to provide and improve the Muneo features described above, not for any other purpose.
- Google user data is not used for serving advertisements.
- Google user data is not transferred to third parties except as necessary to provide Muneo's service (e.g., sending a message snippet to OpenAI or Anthropic to generate a draft reply), subject to these third parties agreeing to use the data solely to provide services to Muneo.
- Google user data is not used by humans for purposes other than security review, compliance with applicable law, or with explicit user consent.
4b. Microsoft Graph API Services
Muneo uses Microsoft Graph API to provide its core functionality for users who connect their Microsoft account. We access the following Microsoft user data:
Outlook Mail Data
- Read access (Mail.Read): We read your emails to detect which messages need follow-up responses and to provide context for AI-generated drafts
Outlook Calendar Data
- Read access (Calendars.Read): We read your calendar to show upcoming meetings and identify attendees for meeting preparation
Microsoft Graph API: Muneo's use of Microsoft Graph API complies with Microsoft API Terms of Use. We only request the minimum permissions necessary to provide our services.
5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Under the GDPR, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:
- Contract Performance (Article 6(1)(b)): Processing necessary to provide the Muneo service you signed up for
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): For optional features like email and calendar access, which you can revoke at any time
- Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)): For service improvement, security, and fraud prevention
- Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): When required to comply with applicable laws
6. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide follow-up detection: Analyze emails to identify messages awaiting your response
- Generate AI drafts: Create suggested responses based on email content and context
- Meeting preparation: Show upcoming meetings with relevant email history for each attendee
- Prioritize communications: Identify high-priority contacts to help you focus
- Send notifications: Alert you about important follow-ups and upcoming meetings
- Improve our service: Understand usage patterns to enhance Muneo
7. Automated Decision-Making
Muneo uses AI to automatically:
- Prioritize emails: Our AI assigns priority levels (Critical, High, Medium, Low) based on sender relationship, content, and urgency
- Detect follow-ups: Automatically identifies emails that require a response
- Generate drafts: Creates suggested email responses
These automated processes do not have legal or similarly significant effects. You can always override AI decisions, edit drafts, or change priorities manually.
8. AI Processing and Third Parties
To provide AI-powered features, we use the following third-party AI services:
- OpenAI: For analyzing email content and generating draft responses
- Anthropic: As an alternative AI provider for content analysis
When processing your data through these services:
- Data is transmitted securely via encrypted connections
- Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic stores your data or uses it to train their models (per their API terms)
- We only send the minimum data necessary for each specific feature
9. International Data Transfers
Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your residence:
Canada ↔ EU/EEA Transfers
The European Commission has recognized Canada as providing an adequate level of data protection. Transfers between the EU and Canada do not require additional safeguards.
Canada ↔ US Transfers (AI Providers)
For transfers to US-based AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic), we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, combined with supplementary technical measures.
10. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes.
We may share data only in these limited circumstances:
- AI providers: As described above, for processing features you use
- Service providers: Cloud hosting (for data storage), payment processors (for subscriptions)
- Legal requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights
11. Data Security
We implement strong security measures to protect your data:

- Encryption in transit: All data transfers use TLS 1.3
