Slashy connects via Google OAuth 2.0 with scoped permissions:

| Permission              | Purpose                                     |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Read and send email     | Inbox display, AI features, sending         |
| Manage labels           | Importance labels and Gmail label sync      |
| Read and write calendar | Calendar view, availability sharing, events |
| Read contacts           | Autocomplete and enrichment                 |

Slashy has **no access** to Google Drive, Docs, or other services. Review and revoke access anytime at [myaccount.google.com/permissions](https://myaccount.google.com/permissions).

## Common Data Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does Slashy store my attachments?">
    No. Slashy stores attachment metadata (filename, size, type) but fetches the actual file content from Gmail on demand. Your attachments remain in Google's infrastructure.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I export all my Slashy data?">
    Yes. Email [privacy@slashy.com](mailto:privacy@slashy.com) for a machine-readable export of your memories, automations, snippets, and agent history. Delivered within 30 days per GDPR.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to my Gmail if I delete Slashy?">
    Nothing. Slashy never modifies your Gmail data destructively. Your emails, labels, and contacts remain exactly as they were. Deleting Slashy simply removes the sync connection.
  </Accordion>
