Yardlet is a desktop app that runs entirely on your Mac. It has no server and no analytics, and it does not send your data to its developer.
Yardlet asks for access to Google services only when you connect a Google account in its settings. Depending on the services you turn on, it requests these permissions:
gmail.modify): read, search, draft, send and label your email.calendar.calendarlist.readonly, calendar.events,
calendar.events.freebusy): list your calendars, read and change events, and check free/busy times.drive.readonly, drive.file): read your files, and
create or change files that Yardlet creates.Yardlet calls Google's APIs only when a coding agent you are running asks for it through Yardlet's tools, and passes the result to that agent so it can complete the task you gave it. The coding agent (for example Claude Code or Codex) runs under your own account with its provider, and that provider's terms and privacy policy apply to what the agent receives.
Yardlet does not sell Google user data, does not use it for advertising, and does not use it to train or improve AI models.
Your Google sign-in tokens are stored in the macOS Keychain on your Mac. Yardlet does not copy Google data to any server. Removing the Google account in Yardlet's settings, or deleting Yardlet, deletes the stored sign-in. You can also revoke Yardlet's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
Yardlet's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
