Privacy & your data
What Embers stores, and what it doesn't
A plain-language look at what Embers keeps, what it leaves alone, and how to take your data with you or delete it.
Embers is built around a small circle of people you trust, so how it handles their information matters. Here's the straight version.
What it keeps
The contacts you add and the details you give it: names, roles, notes, the moments you log. Your writing samples, so drafts sound like you. The touches you've sent, so the timing stays right.
What it leaves alone
Embers doesn't read the contents of your inbox or your calendar. Calendar access is read-only and limited to who you're meeting and when, never the body of an invite. Files you drop into chat are read in the moment and not stored. Embers keeps what it learned from them, not the original file.
Your data is yours
You can edit or delete any contact whenever you want. Deleted contacts sit in a trash for a while in case you change your mind, then they're gone for good. You can also delete your account and everything with it.
For exactly how your data is handled and protected, our privacy policy is the source of truth.
