What Alfred is

Alfred reads the WhatsApp group chats you choose and turns them into a short daily summary — the things you actually need to act on. It can also connect to AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT, and add dated events it finds to your Google Calendar. Every one of those connections is something you turn on yourself, and can turn off the same way.

Google account data

Alfred uses your Google account in two separate ways, and the second is optional.

Signing in. When you sign in with Google we receive your name, email address and account identifier. We use them to identify your account and to address you in your summaries. Nothing else.

Google Calendar. If — and only if — you connect Google Calendar under Settings → Integrations, Alfred requests the calendar.events scope. It is used for exactly one thing: creating and updating calendar entries for dated events Alfred found in your own chats, so you don't have to retype them. Alfred does not read your existing calendar, does not see events it did not create, and never deletes anything it did not create. If you never connect it, this permission is never requested.

How Google data is stored

Connecting Calendar stores one credential — an OAuth refresh token — encrypted at rest on our server. It is never written to logs, never returned by our API, and never shared with anyone. We store the identifier of each calendar entry we created, so that updating an event changes the existing entry instead of adding a duplicate. We do not copy your calendar into Alfred.

How long Google data is kept

The refresh token is kept only while Calendar is connected. Disconnecting deletes it immediately, and if Google ever rejects it we delete it automatically without waiting for you. The only other thing we keep from Google is the identifier of each entry Alfred created, stored beside the event it belongs to so a later change updates that entry instead of adding a second one; it goes when the event does. Nothing else from your Google account is retained.

Alfred never reads your calendar

The connection is one-way. Alfred creates, updates and removes only the entries it added itself, and has no ability to list or read what is already in your calendar — not entries you created, and not entries from any other app. Because nothing is ever read back, there is no Google Calendar content for our operators to see, and none is used to train generative AI models.

Revoking Google access

Disconnect under Settings → Integrations, which deletes the stored credential immediately. You can also revoke Alfred from your Google account permissions at any time, without telling us first. Calendar entries Alfred already created stay in your calendar and are yours to keep or delete.

Limited Use

Alfred's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not sell Google user data, do not use it for advertising, and do not use it to train generative AI models.

WhatsApp data

Alfred syncs the chats you select so it can summarise them. You choose which chats are in scope under Settings. Synced messages are kept for 1 year, then deleted — the same for every profile. Message content is used to produce your own summaries — we don't sell it, don't use it for advertising, and don't train models on it. Alfred's own operators — including the automated agents that build and run it — may read a digest's output together with the source messages behind it, to check the quality of what Alfred produced. That access is read-only.

Stopping messages

In a direct (1:1) chat with Alfred's number, sending STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE as the entire message stops every future message Alfred sends to that chat — digests, reminders, assistant replies, all of it. Sending START or SUBSCRIBE resumes them. Either one works immediately, with no need to contact support. This doesn't apply to groups: Alfred only ever acts in a group when it's tagged, so not tagging it is already the way to stop it there.

Connecting an AI assistant (MCP)

Alfred's WhatsApp MCP lets you connect your own WhatsApp account to AI assistants so they can answer questions using your chats. A connected client can read the chats already synced to your account — nothing more. Access is read-only: no connected client can send messages, delete data, or act on your behalf. Only clients you explicitly connected have access, each through a consent screen naming that client, and every one is listed in Settings where you can revoke it instantly.
