5. Use of AI and Machine Learning
5.1 Data Shared with AI Providers
To deliver key product features, we work with trusted third-party AI providers such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic. When you authorize Fineo to connect your communication channels, we may send anonymized and encrypted message data to these providers to:
- Generate email replies
- Summarize conversations
- Prioritize tasks and messages
We do not train any AI models with your personal data. Providers are contractually required to process your data solely for delivering Fineo services.
5.2 Aggregated Usage for AI Improvements
We may use aggregated, de-identified data to enhance our algorithms and service performance. This data is stripped of all personal identifiers and cannot be linked back to individual users.
5.3 Google User Data Policy Compliance
The use of raw or derived user data received from Workspace APIs will adhere to the Google User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
When you connect your Google Workspace accounts (Gmail, Google Drive, etc.) to Fineo, we strictly comply with Google's User Data Policy. This means that any data we receive from Google's APIs is used solely to provide the specific features you've requested, and we do not use this data for any other purposes including advertising, training AI models, or sharing with third parties beyond what is necessary to deliver our services.
5.4 User Consent
All AI-related processing is subject to explicit user consent, provided during account setup or when connecting integrations. We will notify you and request renewed consent when any significant AI-related change occurs.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
- Channel Disconnection: When you disconnect a communication channel (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, WhatsApp, Instagram), all associated data—including messages, metadata, and authentication tokens—are immediately and permanently deleted from our systems.
- Google Workspace and Microsoft Data: If you revoke Fineo's access to your Gmail, Outlook, or other integrated services, all Google and Microsoft user data retrieved via APIs is deleted without delay. We do not retain this data beyond the active service session.
- Account Deletion: When you delete your Fineo account, we immediately delete all associated data, including personal details, integration data, communication history, and any stored OAuth credentials. This deletion extends to our backups within 30 days.
- Zero Passive Retention: Fineo does not retain or store any personal data, including Workspace or Outlook data, after disconnection or account termination. No copies are stored for analytics, AI model training, or archival purposes.
You are always in full control of your data and may request deletion at any time via privacy@meetfineo.com.

We only share your personal data with:
- Service providers: For infrastructure, AI processing, and support (e.g., AWS, OpenAI, Intercom).
- Analytics partners: For usage tracking and improvement (e.g., Google Analytics).
- Legal entities: When required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process.
All third parties must adhere to strict confidentiality and data protection standards and are bound by Data Processing Agreements.
