Privacy Policy

EMD Consulting ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, where it is stored, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It is written to be read, not skimmed, so it is specific about the OpenClaw Gmail application.

1. Who we are

EMD Consulting is a consulting firm that helps building automation and mechanical companies implement AI tools. We also publish OpenClaw Gmail, a connector that lets the OpenClaw personal assistant work with a user's Gmail account. Contact: eric.diaz@ediazservices.com.

2. The website

Our website is a static site. It has no user accounts, no login, and no forms that submit data to us. We do not set tracking cookies and do not run advertising. Our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, time of request) for security and reliability. We do not combine those logs with any other data about you. If you email us, we keep that correspondence for as long as it is needed to respond and to maintain a record of our business relationship.

3. OpenClaw Gmail: what it accesses and why

OpenClaw Gmail uses Google OAuth to request access to the Gmail account you choose to connect. The exact permissions are listed on Google's consent screen before you grant them. The table below explains what each category of access is used for.

Data accessed	Why the app needs it	What we do with it
Your Google account email address and basic profile	To identify which mailbox is connected and show it to you in OpenClaw	Stored on your computer only, in the OpenClaw configuration
Email messages, threads, attachments, and labels (read)	To search your inbox, summarize messages, and answer questions you ask the assistant	Read on demand when you give an instruction. Not copied to any EMD Consulting server
Draft and send email (write)	To create drafts and send messages when you ask the assistant to	Acts only on your explicit instruction. Every sent message appears in your Gmail Sent folder
Modify labels, archive, mark read or unread	To organize your mailbox at your direction	Acts only on your explicit instruction and is visible and reversible in Gmail

4. Where your Gmail data is stored

• On your computer. OpenClaw runs locally. Your OAuth token and any cached message content live on the device where you installed it, under your operating system account.
• Not on our servers. EMD Consulting does not operate any server that receives, stores, indexes, or backs up your email, your token, or your account details. We cannot see your mailbox.
• AI model providers. When you ask the assistant to do something that requires an AI model (for example, "summarize this thread" or "draft a reply"), the message text needed for that task is sent to the AI model provider you configured in OpenClaw, under that provider's terms and privacy policy. You choose the provider. We do not choose it for you and we do not receive that data.

5. How we use Google user data

Google user data obtained through OpenClaw Gmail is used only to provide the features described in Section 3, on your instruction, for your own use. Specifically, we do not:

• sell Google user data to anyone;
• use Google user data for advertising, or share it with advertisers or data brokers;
• use Google user data to train, improve, or develop AI or machine learning models;
• transfer Google user data to third parties except as needed to perform the action you requested (for example, your chosen AI model provider), to comply with law, or as part of a merger or acquisition with notice to you;
• allow humans at EMD Consulting to read your data. There is no mechanism for us to do so.

6. Retention and deletion

• Your OAuth token stays on your computer until you remove it or revoke access.
• Message content is held in memory only while a task runs. Any local cache can be cleared from the OpenClaw settings or by deleting its data folder.
• Because EMD Consulting stores nothing, there is nothing for us to delete on our side. If you believe we hold any of your data, email us and we will confirm or delete it within 30 days.

7. How to revoke access

1. Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions.
2. Select OpenClaw Gmail and choose Remove access.
3. Remove the stored token from OpenClaw, or uninstall OpenClaw.

8. Security

Access to Gmail uses Google's OAuth 2.0, so the app never sees your Google password. Tokens are stored on your device using the operating system's file permissions. We recommend full-disk encryption and a locked user account on any machine that runs OpenClaw. If you believe your token has been exposed, revoke access as described in Section 7 and change your Google password.

9. Children

Our website and OpenClaw Gmail are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

10. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes to how OpenClaw Gmail handles Google user data will also be announced on the OpenClaw Gmail page before they take effect.
