What Inbox Agent is

Inbox Agent is an Alexa skill that summarizes your Gmail inbox and reads selected email details aloud. It uses Google Account Linking so each user connects their own Gmail account.

Data we access

Gmail (read-only) via Google’s gmail.readonly scope: message metadata and content needed to build short spoken summaries and to look up emails you ask about.
Basic profile via Google openid / email / profile: email address and Google subject id, to identify your linked account.
Alexa account linking tokens issued by our auth service, so the skill knows which Gmail mailbox belongs to which Alexa user.

How we use data

Periodically fetch recent/unread mail, generate a brief summary via Groq (inference only), and store that summary for Alexa to speak. Gmail content is not used to train AI models.
Respond to Alexa requests such as summarizing mail or reading an email matching your query.
We do not sell personal data or use Gmail content for advertising.

Storage & retention

Google refresh tokens are stored encrypted in our AWS DynamoDB table (application-level encryption plus DynamoDB encryption at rest).
Cached email metadata and pending spoken summaries are stored per user and replaced on later ingest runs.
We keep linked-account data while your account remains linked.

Sharing

Processors that may handle data to provide the service: Amazon Web Services (hosting), Amazon Alexa (voice requests), Google (Gmail/OAuth), and Groq (GroqCloud inference API — email text is sent only to generate the spoken summary for your Alexa request). We do not sell your data.

We do not transfer Gmail/Workspace user data to third parties for advertising, and we do not allow processors to use that data to train or improve generalized/foundational AI models.

AI / Limited Use

The use of raw or derived user data received from Google Workspace APIs (including Gmail) will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Inbox Agent uses GroqCloud only as an inference processor to produce short spoken email summaries for the requesting user. Under Groq’s Services Agreement, Groq is not permitted to use API Inputs or Outputs to train or fine-tune models unless a customer explicitly grants that permission; we do not grant such permission. We configure Groq for inference-only use and enable Zero Data Retention (ZDR) where available so customer content is not retained for model training or secondary AI improvement.

Unlink & deletion

You can unlink Gmail from the Alexa app (skill settings → Account Linking). You may also revoke Inbox Agent’s access in your Google Account permissions. Unlinking deletes stored Google credentials and associated per-user mail cache from our systems.
