Privacy Policy

Seneca is an AI talent manager for content creators. It connects to the Gmail account you choose, finds brand partnership conversations, and helps you triage, reply to, and track them. This policy explains what Seneca collects, how it is used, and the controls you have. It is written to describe what the product actually does.

What we collect

• Your Google account name and email address, provided when you sign in with Google.
• Gmail conversations that Seneca's filters identify as potential brand partnership email. Seneca scans your inbox for these and stores only the matching threads. It does not store the rest of your mailbox.
• Recent and upcoming events from your Google Calendar, used to spot scheduling conflicts.
• Information you enter in the app: your profile, channels, rates, deal details, notes, and any files you upload.
• If you upload a brief or contract (or Seneca finds one attached to a matched email), the file is stored with the deal, processed by Anthropic like other deal text, listed in your data export, and removed when you delete your account or the file. When a contract arrives on a deal, Seneca also compares it against that deal's email thread and shows you where the terms differ; the comparison is processed by Anthropic like all other AI features and stored with the deal.

How we use it

• To classify incoming partnership email and summarize what each thread needs from you.
• To prepare reply drafts in your own writing style. Drafts are only ever sent when you explicitly choose to send them.
• To build your deal pipeline, deliverable schedule, and invoices from the contents of those threads.

AI analysis is performed with Anthropic's Claude models. Relevant text from stored threads is sent to Anthropic's API for processing. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, API data is not used to train their models.

Google user data

Seneca'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:

• Seneca requests read access to Gmail and the ability to create drafts. Google's consent screen describes this permission as including sending email because Google does not offer a drafts-only permission. Seneca sends a message only when you press send on it.
• Google user data is used only to provide the features described above, never for advertising, and is never sold.
• Humans do not read your Google user data except with your explicit permission for support, or where required for security or legal reasons.

Storage and security

• Data is encrypted in transit. The database and file storage are hosted in the United States.
• The Google tokens that grant access to your account are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
• Uploaded files are stored privately and are not publicly accessible.

Who we share with

Only the service providers that run Seneca: Vercel (hosting and file storage), Neon (database), Anthropic (AI processing), and Google (the APIs you connect). Seneca does not sell your data and does not share it with advertisers.

Your controls

• Export: download a complete copy of your data as JSON from Settings.
• Delete: deleting your account in Settings permanently removes your data, including stored threads, deals, files, and tokens.
• Disconnect: you can disconnect Google in Settings, which also revokes Seneca's access on Google's side, or revoke access at any time from your Google Account permissions.

Retention

Your data is kept while your account exists and deleted when you delete your account. During the private beta, Google access expires roughly every seven days and you will be asked to reconnect.

Changes and contact

Seneca is in private beta and this policy will evolve with the product. Updates are posted on this page with a new effective date. Questions: dmitri.cherner@gmail.com.
