Personal Google Bridge Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 5, 2026

Personal Google Bridge is a private tool operated by Zach Zanger for his own personal Google account. This policy explains what Google data it accesses, how that data is used and stored, and how access is removed.

Who it's for

Only the operator's own Google account. The app refuses to work with any other account. It collects nothing from website visitors, and the only information it handles about other people is what's already in his account, like email senders and event guests.

Data it accesses

With the operator's permission, the app uses Google's Gmail (modify), Calendar and Drive access to work with:

• Gmail: messages, threads, drafts, labels and attachments.
• Calendar: calendars and events, including attendees and event details.
• Drive, Docs and Sheets: file names, metadata and contents.

How it's used

Google data is used only to carry out tasks the operator asks his AI assistants to do, like finding an email, drafting a reply, planning his calendar or editing a document.

The app runs on the operator's Mac and keeps no copy of Google data. What it reads goes to the assistant that asked, and that assistant sends it to its AI provider to complete the task. Codex uses OpenAI and Claude Code uses Anthropic. Hermes uses OpenAI, and can also use xAI and models reached through OpenRouter, as backups or when he asks for a multi-model answer. Each provider handles data under its own terms.

The assistants connect in a restricted mode that blocks sending email, sending drafts, sending calendar invitations, deleting calendar events and sharing files. They can make changes that can be undone, like creating drafts, applying labels, editing documents and sheets, updating events, and moving mail or files to the trash, where Google keeps them for 30 days.

What it doesn't do

• Google data isn't sold, used for advertising, or used for credit or lending decisions.
• The operator doesn't use Google data to build or train AI models.
• No one else is given access to the app. Its edits are visible to people who already share a document, folder or event with him.

Storage and security

Files are saved to the Mac only when a task downloads them. By default, downloads go to a private folder only his user account can read, though an assistant can be told to save one elsewhere on the Mac. The app's sign-in credentials are kept in files only his user account can read, and the Mac's disk is encrypted.

Downloads aren't deleted automatically. The operator removes them when they're no longer needed. Copies can also exist in assistant chat history on the Mac, with the AI providers, and in Telegram when he uses Hermes there.

Removing access

The operator can revoke access at any time in his Google Account, under Security, then "Your connections to third-party apps & services." Revoking stops new access. It doesn't delete copies that were already downloaded or saved in assistant history; those are deleted separately.

This website

These pages are hosted on zangerdigital.com, which runs on Webflow. The site uses Humblytics, plus Google Analytics, Google Ads remarketing and Microsoft Clarity through Google Tag Manager, and it loads Google Fonts and a Snippyly comment widget. None of these receive data from the bridge.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top will be updated.
