Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 11, 2026

Template. This is a general-purpose starting point that reflects how Corpusly works today — not legal advice. Have it reviewed by qualified counsel and fill in the bracketed details before you rely on it.

This Privacy Policy explains how Corpusly (“Corpusly”, “we”, “us”) handles information in connection with this website at corpusly.ai (the “Site”) and the Corpuslyapplication (the “App”), a local-first desktop utility that indexes your Google Drive on your own device and connects it to AI assistants. Corpusly is operated by Corpusly.

In short

  • The App processes your documents entirely on your own device — we never receive your files, your search index, or your embeddings.
  • The App uses read-only access to your Google Drive and cannot change or delete anything in it.
  • The only personal information the Site collects is the email address you choose to submit to the waitlist.
  • We don't serve ads, we don't set tracking cookies, and we don't sell your personal information.

The App processes your data on your device

Corpuslyis local-first. When you use the App, your Google Drive content is streamed, indexed, and embedded entirely on your own machine. The resulting search index, embeddings, and your Google authorization are stored locally on your device — your authorization token is held in your operating system's keychain. Corpusly does not operate a server that receives, stores, or processes your documents, and your Drive content is never transmitted to us or to any Corpusly-operated backend.

Because this data lives on your device, you remain in control of it. You can remove it at any time by signing out and deleting the App's local data.

Google user data

The App requests read-only access to your Google Drive for the sole purpose of reading and indexing your files locally so your AI assistant can search them. It cannot modify, move, or delete anything in your Drive.

Corpusly's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google user data for advertising, and we do not transfer it to third parties except as needed to provide the App's features at your direction (see “AI assistant integrations” below).

AI assistant integrations

The App connects to AI assistants (for example, Claude Desktop or Claude Code) using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). When you ask your assistant a question, the App shares the passages it retrieves from your indexed documents with that assistant so it can answer you. Only the content your assistant requests is shared, and only with the assistant you have configured.

Those assistants are operated by third parties under their own terms and privacy policies, which govern how they handle the content you send them. Corpusly does not control those services and is not responsible for their data practices.

Information the Site collects

  • Waitlist email. If you join the waitlist, we collect the email address you submit so we can contact you about early access and launch updates.
  • Theme preference.The Site stores your light/dark mode choice in your browser's local storage. It stays on your device and is not sent to us — it is not a tracking cookie.
  • Server logs. Our web host may automatically record standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps) for security and to operate the Site.

How we use information

We use the limited information above to respond to your waitlist request and send early-access and launch updates; to operate, maintain, and secure the Site; and to comply with legal obligations.

How we share information

  • Form processing. Waitlist submissions are handled by Formspree, a third-party form provider, on our behalf. Their handling of that data is governed by their own privacy policy.
  • Service providers. Our web hosting provider processes requests to the Site.
  • Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, our users, or the public.
  • Business transfers. Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We do not sell your personal information.

Data retention

We keep your waitlist email until you ask us to remove it or until it is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected. Data created by the App lives on your own device under your control, and we do not retain a copy.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the limited information we handle. The App is designed to keep your document data on your device and your Google authorization in your operating system's keychain. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights and choices

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the email address you provided, or to stop contacting you, at any time by emailing us. Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA, the UK, or California), you may have additional rights over your personal information under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA/CPRA; contact us to exercise them.

Children

The Site and App are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above, and significant changes may be highlighted on this page.
