Privacy Policy — Arandek

Version: 1


Quick Summary

If you don’t want to read everything, here’s the essential version:

  • We collect: name, email, documents you create, platform usage, and data from services you connect
  • Why: to operate the service, carry out the tasks you ask for, and keep things secure
  • Who we share with: only necessary technical services (AWS, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and when required by law
  • What we do NOT do: we do not sell your data, do not use Google data to train AI, and do not do targeted advertising
  • Your rights: access, correct, delete, and export — just ask at privacy@arandek.com
  • How you control it: cookie, marketing, and integration choices are in Settings

1. Who We Are

SACOLAS DE IDEIAS ATIVIDADES DE INFORMÁTICA LTDA
CNPJ: 41.725.670/0001-52
Address: Praça Garibaldi, nº 74, Azenha, Porto Alegre – RS, CEP 90.050-020, Brazil
Application: Arandek (arandek.com)
General contact: privacy@arandek.com
Data Protection Officer (DPO): privacy@arandek.com

Arandek is the controller of the data you provide — meaning we decide why and how it is used, always within what this Policy describes.


2. What We Collect and Why

2.1 Data you provide

Action What we collect Why
Create an account Name, email, password (encrypted), photo To identify you and allow login
Use the platform Documents, chats, automations, and assistants you create To store your work and let you access it later
Upload files Spreadsheets, PDFs, images, code To process the file you sent
Connect external services Data you explicitly authorize via OAuth To integrate the chosen service with Arandek
Pay Name, billing address, card details To process payments (card data stays with the provider, not on our servers)
Contact support Email, phone, message content To answer your question

2.2 Automatically collected data

Data What it is Why
IP Your connection identifier Security and fraud detection
Browser, operating system Chrome, Safari, Windows, Mac, etc. To adapt the interface to your device
Interactions Pages visited, clicks, time spent To understand what works and improve the platform
Cookies Small files in your browser To keep you logged in and remember preferences

2.3 Data from services you connect (OAuth)

When you authorize Arandek to access an external service (Google, Slack, Microsoft, Notion, etc.) via OAuth:

  • You explicitly authorize which scopes will be accessed
  • We access only what you allowed, nothing beyond that
  • OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest — your external service password never passes through Arandek
  • You can revoke access at any time in Settings > Integrations or in the permissions panel of the service itself

3. Google Data (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Tasks)

This section describes, specifically and in compliance with the Google API Services User Data Policy, how Arandek handles data received from Google APIs.

3.1 Requested scopes

When you connect your Google account to Arandek, the scopes we may request include:

Scope What it is for
gmail.readonly Read emails you asked the assistant to process
gmail.send Send emails on your behalf, always under your explicit instruction
gmail.modify Mark emails as read, move between labels when you ask
drive.file Access only the files you select or that Arandek creates — we do not have access to the rest of your Drive
calendar.events Read and create events when you ask
tasks Manage your tasks in Google Tasks
userinfo.email / userinfo.profile Identify your Google account after login

You will see the exact list of scopes requested on the Google consent screen before authorizing the connection.

3.2 How we use Google data

We use data received from Google APIs exclusively to provide or improve user-visible functionality within Arandek — that is, to carry out the task you asked the assistant to perform.

3.3 What we do NOT do with Google data

Arandek does not use, transfer, or sell data received from Google APIs for:

  • Training, retraining, or fine-tuning AI models (ours or third-party)
  • Targeted advertising, retargeting, personalized or interest-based ads
  • Sale to data brokers or information resellers
  • Credit analysis, scoring, or lending decisions
  • Creating third-party databases
  • Any purpose unrelated to a functionality you explicitly requested

3.4 Human access to Google data

Data received from Google APIs is processed automatically. Humans on the Arandek team only read this data in the following cases:

  1. With your express consent (for example, support you requested)
  2. For security purposes (to investigate abuse, fraud, or policy violations)
  3. To comply with applicable law or court orders
  4. In aggregated and anonymized form, for internal metrics

3.5 Sharing and transfer

We do not share Google data with third parties, except:

  • Essential infrastructure providers (AWS, Google Cloud) — only to host and process
  • When required by law
  • With your express consent

3.6 Retention and deletion

  • Google data is processed in real time and stored only for as long as necessary to perform the requested task
  • OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest
  • You may revoke access at any time in:
  • When revoked, tokens are deleted and any stored Google data is deleted within 30 days

3.7 Limited Use Disclosure

Arandek's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will comply with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.


4. Artificial Intelligence — How It Works

Part of Arandek uses AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) to process what you type.

4.1 What happens

You type a prompt
        ↓
Arandek sends it to the AI provider (OpenAI / Anthropic / Google)
        ↓
Model processes it
        ↓
Response returns to you

4.2 What is sent to the AI provider

  • Your prompt (question/instruction)
  • Documents you mentioned
  • Files you uploaded for analysis

4.3 What is NOT sent

  • Credentials and passwords
  • Other users' data
  • Data you did not mention in the prompt

4.4 Protection

  • Your content does not train global models — other users do not see your work
  • Contracts with AI providers require that data is not retained after processing
  • Google data is never used to train AI, as stated in section 3.3
  • Private mode is available in Enterprise plans (processing on dedicated infrastructure)

4.5 Your responsibility

  • Do not send passwords, API keys, or extremely sensitive data in prompts
  • Review AI responses before making decisions — models can make mistakes and “hallucinate”
  • Test AI outputs before using them in critical environments

5. How We Use Your Data

Purpose Legal basis Details
Operate the service Contract performance Login, storage, automation execution
Improve the platform Legitimate interest Analysis of aggregated and anonymized data
Security Legal obligation + legitimate interest Detect hacking, fraud, abuse
Operational communication Contract performance Security notices, maintenance, updates
Marketing Consent Newsletter and promotions — you can unsubscribe anytime
Legal compliance Legal obligation Respond to court orders and investigations

Google data is used exclusively to operate the service (carry out the task you requested) — not for any of the other purposes above.
