Your assistant. Your data. Nobody else's.
Argus is a personal AI assistant that touches sensitive parts of your life — email, calendar, contacts, tasks. We built it with security as the default, not a checkbox. Here's exactly how your data is protected.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
All traffic uses TLS 1.2+. Data is encrypted at rest in our managed database, and sensitive credentials (OAuth tokens, calendar passwords, vault entries) are additionally encrypted at the application layer before they ever hit disk.
Scoped OAuth for Gmail & Outlook
When you connect Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, or any other provider, Argus requests only the specific scopes it needs to do the job you asked for — never blanket account access. You can revoke access at any time from your provider's settings or from the Connections page in Argus.
We do not train AI on your data
Your emails, calendar events, notes, and messages are never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model — ours or a vendor's. We work with model providers under zero-retention terms wherever available.
Strict per-user isolation
Every row in our database is scoped to your user ID and protected by row-level security policies at the database layer. Even in the event of an application bug, one user cannot read or modify another user's data.
Least-privilege infrastructure
Production systems run on hardened, managed cloud infrastructure. Access to production data is limited to a small number of engineers, requires SSO with multi-factor authentication, and is audit-logged.
Transparent third parties
We use a small, vetted set of processors (hosting, AI model providers, email/SMS delivery, payments). We do not sell your data. Our Privacy Policy and Data Policy list who they are and what they do.
What Argus can — and can't — do with a connection
Gmail & Outlook
Argus reads message metadata and content only when you ask it to summarize, search, draft, or act on your inbox. It sends messages only when you explicitly confirm. It does not archive, delete, or forward mail on its own.
Calendars (Google, Outlook, Apple, ICS)
Read access is used for daily briefings, prep, and planning. Write access (creating or editing events) is used only when you approve the change, either in chat, on a call, or from the day view.
Task & note apps
Argus syncs the lists you connect and can create or update tasks on your behalf. It doesn't touch lists you haven't linked.
Your data, on your terms
You can disconnect any provider at any time from the Connections page. You can request a full export or permanent deletion of your account and its data by contacting us. Deletion requests are honored promptly; backups age out on a rolling schedule.
