3. AI Processing and Automated Analysis
Vera uses artificial intelligence and automated processing to help understand and organize your information. This may include classification, summarization, entity extraction, pattern detection, semantic search, document parsing, and question answering.
AI-generated outputs may not always be accurate, complete, or up to date. Vera is intended to assist you, but it should not be used as the only source of truth for important decisions. You should independently verify important information, especially information related to health, finance, legal matters, travel, identity documents, or other sensitive areas.
4. Your Connected Services
Vera only accesses third-party services when you authorize the connection. The specific information Vera can access depends on the permissions granted by you and the connected provider.
You may disconnect connected services at any time through Vera or through the third-party provider's account settings. After disconnection, Vera will stop syncing new data from that source. Previously synced data may remain in Vera unless you delete it or request deletion.
5. Google User Data
If you connect a Google account, Vera may request access to Google services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Drive, or other Google services depending on the features you enable.
Vera uses Google user data only to provide user-facing features requested by you, such as searching your emails, organizing events, identifying documents, answering questions, and building your private personal intelligence layer.
Vera does not sell Google user data. Vera does not use Google user data for advertising. Vera does not allow humans to read your Google user data unless necessary for security, legal compliance, debugging with your consent, or support requested by you.
