Privacy policy

Family Assistant is a private, non-commercial service for the members of one family. There are no ads, and data is never sold. Last updated: November 13, 2026.

What we store

• Phone number and Telegram ID — only to let family members into the bot.
• Messages, voice messages, photos and documents sent to the bot, and the assistant's replies.
• What the assistant has remembered about a person (viewable and erasable), shared lists, reminders, family expenses and the food diary.

Everything is stored on the family's server in the European Union; backups are encrypted. Each member's conversations and personal memory are private from the rest of the family. The server's administrator technically has access to everything on the server.

Who receives data

• Messages are processed by the AI model provider (Anthropic) to produce a reply. Under its API terms, the data is not used to train models.
• Voice messages are transcribed by Groq (USA): it receives only the voice recording, without the person's name or phone number.
• External reference services receive only the queries themselves: a place name for weather, a query and search point for maps, query text for web search, a product name or barcode for food databases.
• Telegram can see conversations with the bot: chats with bots are not end-to-end encrypted.

Google user data

Connecting Google Calendar and Gmail is optional; each member connects only their own account.

• The assistant reads and adds calendar events and finds and reads emails only at the request of the member who connected the account, and only to fulfil that request. An email is sent only after that member presses the “Send” button.
• Events and emails the member asks about are sent to the AI model provider to produce a reply. They are not stored apart from the conversation with the assistant; the Google access token is stored encrypted.
• Google user data is not sold, not shared with third parties beyond what is described above, and not used for advertising or for training AI models.

The use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Deleting data

• /forget — erase what the assistant has remembered about you; /delete — delete a topic with its messages and files.
• /google — disconnect Google: access is revoked and the token is erased. Access can also be revoked in your Google Account settings.
• To delete all of your data, ask the family administrator.
