Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed to individuals under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Gridflo's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

- We access your Google Calendar events to display them alongside your Gridflo tasks in a unified view

AI and Large Language Model Processing
Gridflo uses artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) to power features such as chat assistants, task suggestions, email processing, automatic tagging, and content analysis. When you use these features, content you provide — including messages, tasks, notes, and emails — may be sent to third-party AI providers for processing.
We route AI requests through an AI gateway service, which means the specific AI provider used to process your request may vary and may change over time without notice. You do not have control over which AI provider processes a given request. Providers we may use include, but are not limited to, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other providers accessible through our gateway service. Each provider operates under its own terms of service and privacy policy.
We do not use your content to train AI models. However, third-party providers may have their own data retention and usage policies, which we encourage you to review. We select providers that offer appropriate data handling practices, but we cannot guarantee the policies of every provider at all times.
- AI features are optional and can be avoided by not using AI-powered functionality
- Content sent to AI providers includes the context necessary to generate a response, such as your messages, relevant tasks, notes, and other blocks
- AI-generated content (suggestions, summaries, responses) is stored in our database and associated with your account
- We track AI usage metrics (token counts) for billing and service management purposes
Analytics and Tracking
We use analytics and advertising tools to understand how our service is used, measure the effectiveness of our marketing, and improve the user experience.
Product Analytics
- We use Amplitude for product analytics to track feature usage, user flows, and engagement patterns
- Amplitude collects data such as events you perform within the application, session information, and device characteristics
Advertising and Conversion Tracking
- Conversion events (such as account sign-ups) may be shared with Google Ads, Meta (Facebook), and Reddit for advertising attribution
- For enhanced conversion tracking, hashed email addresses may be sent to advertising platforms
- You can limit advertising tracking by adjusting your browser settings, using ad-blocking tools, or opting out via the advertising platforms directly
