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

Google-authorized secure authentication. No passwords stored. Industry-standard protocol.

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.

Authentication Flow

  1. 1

    You click "Connect Gmail"

    Redirects you to Google's official OAuth consent screen.

  2. 2

    Google asks for permission

    You review and approve read-only Gmail access. Google verifies your identity.

  3. 3

    PledgeOS receives a secure token

    Google issues an OAuth token with read-only Gmail scope. Token is encrypted and stored securely.

  4. 4

    Daily processing begins

    PledgeOS scans recent emails, detects commitments, sends reminders. No human access.

What We Store vs. What We Don't

We Don't Store

Data Encryption

In Transit

All communication between your browser, PledgeOS servers, and Google APIs uses TLS 1.3 encryption.

At Rest

OAuth tokens and sensitive data are encrypted using AES-256 encryption before database storage.

Processing

Email content is processed in-memory only. No disk writes. Discarded after analysis completes.
