🔒 Privacy Policy
TASE — Your Privacy Matters
Effective date · May 22, 2026 · Last updated · May 22, 2026
1. Introduction & Scope
TASE (“TASE”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is an AI-powered personal assistant that combines voice-first AI interaction, task management, goal tracking, health and finance logging, and a personal knowledge base (the “AI Brain”) into a single iOS application. The app was previously branded “Gora” and the iOS bundle identifier remains com.gora.ai.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over your data. It applies to:
- The TASE iOS application and any future Android, macOS, or web versions we publish under the TASE brand;
- Our website at tase.app; and
- The “Connectors” feature, which allows you to link third-party services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Apple Reminders to TASE.
Our Commitment
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Account Information
- Sign-in identifiers: When you create an account we collect your email address (via Firebase Authentication) and, depending on the sign-in method you choose, your name and profile photo. TASE supports Email/Password, Google Sign-In, and Sign in with Apple.
- Authentication tokens: Session tokens issued by Firebase Auth, OAuth identity tokens, and (for Google Sign-In) refresh tokens needed to maintain your session.
2.2 Content You Create in the App
TASE stores the content you generate so that your assistant can sync across devices and recall context over time. This includes:
- Chats & voice transcripts: Text messages exchanged with the assistant, transcripts of voice sessions, and metadata about each conversation (project, timestamps, length).
- AI Brain content: Notes, ideas, knowledge entries, custom prompts, and extracted memories. Memories are short third-person statements automatically extracted from your conversations to personalize future responses.
- Productivity data: Tasks (quests), goals, milestones, projects, and reminders you create.
- Health & fitness data: Medications, supplements, workouts, sleep entries, calories/nutrition, lab results, and habits that you choose to log. If you grant permission, TASE can also read selected health and fitness metrics from Apple HealthKit (for example, step count or workout summaries) to display in the app. HealthKit data is processed on your device and is never used for advertising.
- Finance data: Expenses, incomes, budgets, and savings goals that you manually enter. TASE does not connect to your bank accounts or process payments.
- Audio data: Short voice recordings captured for transcription, and live audio streamed during real-time voice sessions. See Section 4 for how audio is processed.
- User-uploaded images and files that you attach to chats or notes.
2.3 Connector Data (Third-Party Accounts You Link)
If you choose to connect a third-party service through the Connectors feature, TASE accesses data from that service on your behalf. See Section 5 for the full Connectors disclosure, including the specific scopes requested for each provider.
2.4 Automatically Collected Information
- Device & diagnostic data: Device model, operating system version, app version, language and region settings, and a device identifier used to link diagnostics to your account.
- Crash & performance data: Stack traces, error logs, and performance metrics collected through Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Performance Monitoring. Crash data is collected in a form not linked to your identity.
- Product interaction analytics: Aggregate events such as feature usage, screen views, and session length, collected through Firebase Analytics for the purpose of improving the app.
- Approximate and precise location: If you grant location permission, TASE may use your coarse and/or precise location to enrich features such as calendar context, weather, or location-aware reminders. Location is used only for in-app functionality and is not shared for advertising.
Privacy Manifest
PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest and on our App Store privacy label. We do not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies — the NSPrivacyTracking flag is set to false.3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Powering the assistant: Responding to your messages, executing actions you request (creating tasks, drafting emails, scheduling events, etc.), and synchronizing your data across your devices.
- Personalization & memory: Extracting durable preferences and facts from your conversations so the assistant can remember context over time (the AI Brain “Memories” feature). You can review, edit, and delete extracted memories at any time from the AI Brain section of the app.
- Authentication & account security: Verifying your identity, protecting your account, and detecting abuse or fraud.
- Service improvement: Diagnosing crashes, fixing bugs, and improving stability and performance using aggregated analytics and crash logs.
- Customer support: Responding to your inquiries and troubleshooting issues you report.
- Legal compliance: Meeting obligations under applicable law, responding to lawful requests, and enforcing our Terms of Service.
We do not use your content (chats, notes, voice recordings, connector data) to train third-party advertising models, and we do not sell your personal information.
4. AI Processing & Third-Party AI Providers
TASE is an AI assistant, which means that the content you send to the assistant is processed by large-language and speech-recognition models operated by third-party AI providers. We do this so that we can offer state-of-the-art capabilities without retaining and training our own foundation models.
4.1 xAI (Grok)
- What is sent: Your text messages, relevant context from the AI Brain (such as recently used memories or notes), and — for voice mode — your live microphone audio streamed over a secure WebSocket connection to
wss://api.x.ai/v1/realtime. - Purpose: Generating chat responses, voice replies, image creation/edits, and tool calls used by the assistant.
- Provider terms: Data sent to xAI is governed by xAI's privacy policy and terms of service available at x.ai/legal.
4.2 OpenAI (Whisper)
- What is sent: Short voice recordings that you create using the in-app voice recorder are uploaded to OpenAI's Whisper transcription endpoint to convert speech to text.
- Purpose: Producing text transcripts of your voice notes so they can be processed by the assistant.
- Provider terms: Governed by OpenAI's privacy policy at openai.com/policies/privacy-policy.
Important
5. Connectors — Linking Third-Party Services
The Connectors feature lets you link external accounts to TASE so the assistant can read from (and, with your permission, write to) those services on your behalf. Connectors are entirely opt-in: TASE does not access any third-party service until you explicitly tap “Connect” and complete that provider's authorization screen.
5.1 Supported Connectors and Scopes Requested
- Gmail (Google): Requests the OAuth scope
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonlyin order to list recent messages, read message metadata (sender, subject, date) and the plain-text body of messages you ask the assistant to summarize. Sending email and creating drafts via the assistant also use this token to call the Gmail API. - Google Calendar: Requests the OAuth scope
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonlyto list your calendars and read upcoming events. When you ask the assistant to create, update, or delete a calendar event, the same authorized session is used to call the Google Calendar API on your behalf. - Google Drive: Requests the OAuth scope
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonlyto list and search files by name and read basic metadata (name, type, modified time). - Apple Reminders: Uses the iOS EventKit framework with your permission to read incomplete reminders. No OAuth, no Google account, and no data is sent off your device for this connector.
5.2 How OAuth Works in TASE
- When you tap “Connect” for a Google connector, you are taken to Google's sign-in screen to grant the requested scope. TASE never sees your Google password.
- Google returns an OAuth access token and refresh token to the app. These tokens are stored securely on your device's iOS Keychain and a reference to the connected account (email, display name, connection status) is saved in your Firestore account so the connection persists across your devices.
- Tokens are sent only to the relevant Google API endpoint (e.g.
gmail.googleapis.com,www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3,www.googleapis.com/drive/v3) and to Google's token-refresh endpoint when they expire. They are never sent to any other third party. - Connector data fetched from Google (e.g. an email summary you asked about) may be passed into the AI processing pipeline described in Section 4 in order to answer your prompt.
5.3 Disconnecting a Connector
- You can disconnect any connector at any time from AI Brain → Connectors in the app. Disconnecting deletes the stored tokens for that service and updates the connector status in your account.
- When you disconnect the last connected Google service, TASE additionally revokes the underlying Google OAuth session via the Google Sign-In SDK so that no residual authorization remains.
- You can also revoke TASE's access from Google's side at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Connector data we fetched is not permanently mirrored into our database in bulk; we fetch on demand. Any data we did cache (for example, the last set of events used to render a screen) is cleared when you disconnect.
Important
6. Data Storage & Security
6.1 Where Your Data Is Stored
- Cloud Firestore (Google Cloud) — primary database for chats, AI Brain content, tasks, goals, health, finance, and connector state.
- Firebase Storage — for images, audio files, and other binary assets you attach.
- Firebase Authentication — for account identifiers and session management.
- iOS Keychain — for OAuth tokens and other secrets that should stay on-device.
Firebase services are operated by Google LLC. Data may be processed in data centers operated by Google in the United States and other regions where Google operates.
6.2 Security Measures
- Encryption in transit: All communication between the app and our backends uses HTTPS / TLS. Real-time voice traffic is sent over an encrypted WebSocket (WSS) connection.
- Encryption at rest: Data stored in Firestore and Firebase Storage is encrypted at rest by Google Cloud.
- Firebase App Check is used to help verify that requests come from a genuine, unmodified TASE app.
- Access controls: Firestore security rules restrict each user's data to their own account.
- OAuth tokens are stored on the device in the iOS Keychain rather than in plaintext.
6.3 Data Retention
- We retain your data for as long as your account is active.
- When you delete your account, your content (chats, AI Brain entries, tasks, goals, health, finance, connector tokens) is deleted from our active systems within approximately 30 days. Encrypted backups may persist for a limited additional period before being overwritten.
- Aggregated, de-identified analytics may be retained beyond this period as it is no longer associated with you.
- Some records may be retained longer if required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
