Security at PledgeOS
Your email data is sensitive. We've built PledgeOS with privacy and security as core principles, not afterthoughts.
OAuth 2.0 Authentication

Read-Only Access
PledgeOS can only read emails. Cannot send, delete, modify, or access other Google services.
No Permanent Storage
Emails are processed in real-time and discarded. Only metadata about commitments is retained.
Encrypted Tokens
All OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption standards.
Secure Infrastructure
Hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with SOC 2 compliance.
Revocable Access
Disconnect PledgeOS instantly from your Google Account settings. Immediate effect.
