Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 11, 2026

Overview

Robyn ("we", "our", or "the app") is a desktop application for macOS that functions as a personal AI assistant. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how Robyn handles your data.

Data Storage

All your data is stored locally on your Mac. Robyn does not operate cloud servers, does not sync your data to external services, and does not collect or transmit your personal information to us.

Data stored locally includes:

  • Messages from connected services (WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail, iMessage)
  • Contact information synced from your accounts
  • AI-generated briefings and summaries
  • Call logs and transcriptions
  • App settings and preferences

This data is stored in a local SQLite database on your Mac and is never transmitted to our servers.

Third-Party Services

Robyn connects to the following third-party services when you choose to enable them:

Google Services (Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts)

When you connect your Google account, Robyn uses the Google OAuth 2.0 protocol to authenticate. Robyn requests access to the following scopes:

  • Gmail — Read, compose, and send emails on your behalf (gmail.modify, gmail.send)
  • Google Calendar — Read and manage your calendar events (calendar.events)
  • Google Contacts — Read your contacts for message matching (contacts.readonly)

Your Google credentials (OAuth tokens) are stored locally on your Mac in the app's secure storage. Robyn accesses your Google data directly from your device — it is never routed through our servers. You can revoke access at any time from your Google Account permissions page.

WhatsApp

Robyn connects to WhatsApp using the WhatsApp Web protocol. Your WhatsApp session is established locally on your Mac. Messages are received and stored locally.

Telegram

Robyn connects to Telegram using the Telegram API (TDLib/GramJS). Your Telegram session is established locally on your Mac. Messages are received and stored locally.

AI Services

Robyn may use third-party AI APIs (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) to generate summaries, draft replies, and power voice features. When using these services:

  • Only the specific content needed for the AI task is sent to the API
  • API keys are stored locally and configured by you
  • We do not share your API keys or data with any other party

Telnyx (Voice Calls)

If you enable AI voice calls, Robyn uses Telnyx for telephony services. Call audio is processed in real-time and is not stored by Telnyx beyond the duration of the call.

ElevenLabs (Voice Synthesis)

If you enable text-to-speech for AI responses, text is sent to ElevenLabs for voice synthesis. Only the specific text content is transmitted.

Data We Collect

We do not collect any personal data. Robyn does not have analytics, tracking, or telemetry. We do not know who uses the app, how they use it, or what data they process.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal data to any third parties. The only data that leaves your Mac is:

  • Messages you choose to send through connected services (Gmail, WhatsApp, Telegram)
  • Content sent to AI APIs for processing (summaries, drafts, transcription)
  • Voice call audio routed through Telnyx during active calls

All of these are direct connections from your Mac to the respective service — they do not pass through our infrastructure.

Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your Mac, you have full control over it:

  • Use the "Clear Cache" option in Settings to remove temporary data
  • Use the "Export Data" option in Settings to download all your data
  • Uninstalling the app removes all app data from your Mac
  • You can disconnect any service at any time from Settings

Security

Robyn uses macOS security features to protect your data:

  • OAuth tokens are stored in the macOS Keychain
  • The app runs in a sandboxed environment
  • All connections to third-party services use TLS encryption
  • The app is code-signed for integrity verification

Children's Privacy

Robyn is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children.

Google API Services User Data Policy

Robyn'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:

  • Robyn only uses Google user data for the purposes described in this privacy policy
  • Robyn does not transfer Google user data to third parties (except as needed to provide the service, e.g., displaying your emails)
  • Robyn does not use Google user data for advertising
  • Robyn does not allow humans to read your Google user data unless you provide affirmative consent, it is necessary for security purposes, or it is required by law

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of Robyn after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
