By accessing or using Will The Wise, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.


1. Information We Collect

a. Information You Provide

  • Account Information: When you sign up or log in using Google OAuth, we collect your name, email address, and basic profile information authorized through your Google account.
  • Payment Information: When you subscribe or make payments, we collect billing information through our third-party payment processor, Stripe. We do not store your credit card or sensitive payment data directly.
  • Content You Submit: You may upload audio files or other data for AI transcription. This content is processed internally and stored securely within our infrastructure.

b. Automatically Collected Information

  • IP address, browser type, and device information
  • Usage data, such as pages visited, session duration, and error logs
  • Cookies or local storage used to maintain login state and session tracking

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Authenticate and manage user access via Google OAuth
  • Process payments securely via Stripe
  • Provide and improve our AI transcription service
  • Operate and maintain core features of the Will The Wise platform
  • Respond to support requests and user feedback
  • Analyze usage trends and improve the user experience
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

3. AI Transcription and Content Storage

All files submitted for transcription are processed exclusively by our internal AI transcription engine. Transcriptions and associated data are stored only on our private infrastructure and are not shared with third parties, except where legally required. Your data is never used to train third-party models or AI services.

4. AI/ML Model Training and Calendar Data

We want to be absolutely clear: Any calendar data obtained through Google Workspace APIs (including Google Calendar) is NEVER used to develop, improve, or train any AI or machine learning models, whether internal or third-party.

Calendar data is used ONLY for the following purposes:

  • Displaying your calendar events within the Will The Wise platform during your active session
  • Helping you manage and coordinate your schedule with group activities

Calendar information is fetched in real-time when you visit the site and is not permanently stored on our servers. This data is completely isolated from any AI/ML training processes and is never aggregated, analyzed, or used for model development purposes.


5. Third-Party Services

We rely on the following trusted third-party services to deliver core functionality within Will The Wise:

  • Google OAuth – for secure user authentication
    We request only the minimum necessary information (e.g., name, email address, and profile image) to create and manage your account.
  • Google Calendar (Optional Integration)
    Users can optionally connect their Google Calendar under Settings to view and manage calendar events within the platform. Google Calendar data is never permanently stored on our servers. Calendar information is fetched in real-time each time you visit the site and is used only to display relevant information during your session. You may disconnect your calendar at any time from your account settings.
  • Stripe – for payment processing and subscription management
    We use Stripe to handle all billing and payment transactions. Your payment information is encrypted and securely processed directly by Stripe under their Privacy Policy. We do not store any credit card numbers or payment credentials.

All third-party services we use are contractually required to adhere to strong data protection and privacy standards. We never share your data with them beyond what is necessary for the intended function.


6. Google Workspace API Compliance

Will The Wise's use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.


7. Data Retention

We retain user data:

  • As long as your account is active
  • As necessary to provide the service and comply with legal requirements

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at [email protected].


8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access and review your personal data
  • Request correction or deletion
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Export your data (data portability)

To exercise your rights, please contact us at [email protected].


9. Security

We implement industry-standard measures to protect your information:

  • HTTPS encryption
  • Secure OAuth flows
  • Firewalled and access-controlled internal systems
  • Periodic reviews of security posture

However, no system is completely immune to risks. Use the Service at your discretion.


10. Children's Privacy

Will The Wise is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
