Privacy Policy

Effective date / Last updated: 27 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Weekly Summary (the "application", "we", "us", or "our") handles information, including data accessed from Google APIs. Weekly Summary is operated by SpicyChillySoft.

If you have any questions about this policy or how your information is handled, contact us at support@spicychillysoft.com.

1. Who we are and what Weekly Summary does ↑ top

Weekly Summary is a personal productivity tool operated by SpicyChillySoft. It compiles information from a small number of sources — Google Calendar, Google Tasks, a weather forecast, public transport disruptions, and a local bin-collection schedule — into a single styled HTML email digest delivered on a weekly schedule.

Weekly Summary is used by the operator and by invited household and family members who choose to connect their own Google accounts. Each person authorises access to their own account and can withdraw that access at any time (see Section 9). Weekly Summary does not offer accounts to the general public, and it does not display, publish, or expose your data to anyone other than the intended recipient of the email digest.

2. Information we access ↑ top

Google user data (accessed via OAuth 2.0, read-only)

When you connect a Google account, Weekly Summary requests the following read-only scopes:

ScopeGoogle data accessedPurpose
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly Calendar event titles, start/end times, locations, and calendar names for the upcoming week To list your events in the weekly digest
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks.readonly Task titles, due dates, and task-list names for the upcoming week To list your tasks due in the week ahead

Weekly Summary requests read-only access. It cannot create, edit, or delete any of your Google Calendar events or Google Tasks.

Authentication data

To access your Google data on a recurring schedule, Weekly Summary stores an OAuth refresh token for each connected account. This token lets Weekly Summary request fresh access on your behalf until you revoke it.

Other (non-Google) information

3. How we use the data ↑ top

We use the information described above for one purpose only: to assemble and deliver the weekly summary email. Specifically, Weekly Summary fetches the data for the upcoming week, removes duplicate calendar events, sorts everything chronologically, generates a short narrative paragraph, renders an HTML email, and sends it to the intended recipient.

We do not:

4. How the data is processed and shared (sub-processors) ↑ top

Weekly Summary relies on a small number of third-party service providers ("sub-processors"). We share only the minimum data necessary for each to perform its role, and the specific providers may change from time to time.

About AI processing: to write the narrative paragraph, summarised details of your week are sent to the Anthropic Claude API. This data is used only to generate that paragraph for your email. It is not used to train or improve Anthropic's models, and it is not used to train or improve any model operated by us.

We do not share your information with any other parties except where required to do so by law, or as necessary to protect the security and integrity of Weekly Summary.

5. Data storage and retention ↑ top

Weekly Summary is designed to hold as little data as possible:

We retain refresh tokens only for as long as Weekly Summary is authorised to access your account. When you revoke access (see Section 9), the token stops working and is removed.

6. Limited Use disclosure (Google API Services User Data Policy) ↑ top

Weekly Summary's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

In keeping with those requirements, we affirm that data obtained through Google APIs is:

  1. used only to provide or improve the user-facing feature (the weekly summary email) that is prominent in Weekly Summary's interface and for which you granted access;
  2. not transferred to others except as necessary to provide or improve that feature, to comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with your prior notice;
  3. never used for serving advertisements; and
  4. never read by any human, except (a) with your affirmative consent for specific data, (b) as necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, or (c) to comply with applicable law.

We do not use Google user data to develop, improve, or train generalised or artificial intelligence / machine-learning models.

7. Security ↑ top

We protect your information through measures appropriate to its sensitivity, including:

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to safeguard your information.

8. International data transfers ↑ top

Weekly Summary and some of its service providers (including our AI provider) may process data on servers located outside Australia, including in the United States. By using Weekly Summary, you acknowledge that your information may be processed in these locations. We take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled consistently with this policy wherever it is processed.

9. Your choices, revoking access, and deletion ↑ top

You are in control of Weekly Summary's access to your Google account:

We will respond to deletion and access requests within a reasonable time.

10. Children's privacy ↑ top

Weekly Summary is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has connected an account, please contact us so we can remove the associated data.

11. Australian privacy law ↑ top

SpicyChillySoft is based in Melbourne, Australia. We handle personal information consistently with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

12. Changes to this policy ↑ top
