Privacy notice

Updated 20 October 2026. Roger is a personal assistant operated by Augustin Baudoin. Contact augustin@rastro.ai for support or privacy requests. The assistant is currently a personal pilot; public Google access is awaiting verification.

What Roger does

Roger helps you review recordings, find information, manage email and plan your calendar through WhatsApp. The iPhone app receives audio from your selected microphone or supported wearable. Only record conversations when you have the necessary permission from everyone involved.

We process your WhatsApp number, messages, attachments you provide, device identifiers, recordings, transcripts, summaries and preferences to provide these features. Audio may be stored locally and uploaded for processing. Recording status, microphone information and interruption events help us diagnose failures and provide recording alerts. Turning off capture in Roger does not necessarily turn off a separate wearable microphone.

Your optional Google connection

You choose whether to connect a Google account. The consent screen requests account identity, Gmail, Calendar and read-only Google Contacts permissions. These support the following features:

• Account identity: your Google account identifier, name and email associate the connection with your Roger account.
• Gmail: find and read relevant messages and threads, summarize them, prepare and send requested emails, and organize messages by archiving, restoring to the inbox, marking read or unread, and adding or removing stars. Email modification permission is needed for these organization actions. The current tools do not permanently delete messages or download Gmail attachments.
• Calendar: read events and busy periods to answer scheduling questions, and create events you approve. Availability access lets Roger check conflicts without needing the details of each event.
• Contacts: look up saved names and email addresses to resolve recipients. Roger does not edit Google Contacts. Contacts you manually share in WhatsApp are stored separately from the Google connection.

Google data is retrieved as needed for your requests and enabled tasks. Relevant content can appear in the assistant's conversation history, summaries, drafts and action records. Emails and calendar events are prepared for you to review; the current WhatsApp flow requires approval of the displayed preview before sending an email or creating an event.

AI processing and service providers

Relevant messages, Google data and task context may be sent to AI services to understand your request, summarize information or prepare an action. The current assistant uses OpenAI models through Vercel AI Gateway. Its browser assistant uses Meta models through that gateway and Kernel for hosted browser execution when a task requires it. Earlier email and voice features also use the OpenAI API directly. These are hosted API services; Roger does not operate a self-hosted general-purpose language model.

Vercel hosts the assistant and manages its Google connection through Vercel Connect. Neon stores the current assistant's conversation and action records. Supabase provides database and storage services for recording and earlier assistant features, and Render runs recording and action processing. Meta WhatsApp delivers messages, including the excerpts or drafts you ask Roger to show you. Recording features may also use ElevenLabs for speech processing and pyannote for speaker identification.

When you ask Roger to place a phone call, Revox processes the recipient's phone number, the call instructions and relevant context you approve, and returns the call result. We send providers the information needed for the relevant feature; an unrelated recording or calling task does not require access to your Google account.

Processing may occur internationally. Providers' retention and security terms apply to their services; this notice does not promise that all data is processed only in Europe or that all providers retain no data.

Google Limited Use

Roger's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

We use Google user data only to provide or improve the user-facing features you request. We do not use it to develop, train or improve generalized or foundation AI models. We do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or transfer it for creditworthiness or lending decisions. AI processing is for your individual task, not model training.

We restrict transfers of Google data to those needed to provide these features, with your consent, for security purposes, or where required by law. Human access to Google data is limited to what the policy permits, such as your explicit consent for a specific support request, investigating abuse, or a legal obligation.

Security, retention and your choices

Google access tokens are held by our connection services and associated with the relevant user. Connections managed by the earlier service store refresh tokens encrypted on the server. You should never send a password or access token to Roger in WhatsApp.

You can revoke Roger's Google access in your Google account permissions. Revocation stops future access through that grant; it does not delete emails or events already created, messages already delivered, or data already stored by Roger. Contact us to request deletion of stored connection records, conversation history, drafts, recordings or your account.

During this pilot, cloud recordings, transcripts, conversation and action records are retained until deletion is requested; comprehensive automatic deletion is not yet implemented. Local recordings remain subject to the app's storage controls. Deleting the app alone does not delete cloud copies. WhatsApp messages already delivered remain subject to your and WhatsApp's message settings.

To request access, correction or deletion, or to stop messages, email augustin@rastro.ai and identify your connected account. We verify your identity before disclosing or changing private information. AI output can be inaccurate; review drafts and proposed actions before approving them.
