Last updated September 24, 2026

Working draft, pending legal review. This reflects how RoboDesk actually operates today, verified against the live system. A few details (marked like this) are still open business decisions.

RoboDesk ("we," "us," "the service") provides an automated, AI-powered phone assistant. This policy explains what information we collect when you call or use RoboDesk, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information we collect

  • Call audio and transcripts. We record calls to this line and generate transcripts, as described in our Terms of Service.
  • Account information. Your phone number, and any name, PIN, or security code you set up for your account.
  • Email and calendar content. If you use RoboDesk's email or calendar features — either your own robodesk.net inbox or a Google account you choose to link — we access, store, and act on the messages/events involved (reading them to you, sending replies, moving/organizing them) as part of providing that feature.
  • Files you save. Attachments from your email and files you ask RoboDesk to download during a task are stored in your personal storage allowance ("Robodrive"), up to your plan's storage limit.
  • Payment information. If you add a payment method, card details are captured and stored directly by our payment processors (Twilio/Stripe) — we never receive or store your raw card number.
  • Usage and billing data. Call minutes used, purchases made, and account balance.

2. How we use this information

We use the information above to:

  • Operate the phone assistant and carry out the tasks you ask it to do (checking email, managing your calendar, browsing the web on your behalf, making purchases you direct, etc.)
  • Bill you accurately for the service
  • Improve and troubleshoot the service (e.g. reviewing a call transcript to fix a reported problem)
  • Send you the notifications you've opted into (see Section 5)
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Google user data

If you link a Google account, RoboDesk requests access to Gmail, Calendar, and Drive only to the extent needed to carry out the specific actions you ask for on a call (e.g., reading your inbox aloud, sending a reply you dictate, moving a message to a folder, describing an attachment, reading or adding calendar events). RoboDesk's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can review or revoke RoboDesk's access to your Google account at any time at Google Account → Security → Third-party access, and disconnect it from within RoboDesk's account settings.

4. Third-party service providers

To provide the service, call audio and message content may be processed by:

  • Speech-to-text and text-to-speech providers (currently AssemblyAI, Deepgram, OpenAI) — to transcribe what you say and generate the assistant's spoken responses.
  • Language-model providers (currently Anthropic, OpenAI) — to understand requests and generate responses.
  • Email delivery (Resend) — for your robodesk.net inbox.
  • Payment processing (Twilio, Stripe) — for any purchases or top-ups.
  • Telephony carrier (BulkVS) — to carry your call.

Each processes data under its own terms and privacy policy; we choose providers that commit to not using your data to train their own models beyond what's needed to provide the service to us.

5. Notifications and opt-in

Proactive notifications (low balance, new email, service announcements) are off by default. You opt in per notification type in account settings, and can opt out — including via replying STOP to any text message — at any time.

6. Data retention

Current setting: no fixed retention limit — call recordings, transcripts, and messages are kept indefinitely unless you request deletion, or until a formal retention period is decided and configured. A typical range for a service like this is 90 days to 2 years for recordings/transcripts, with account/billing records often kept longer for legal and tax purposes. Once decided, this section will state the actual policy.

You can request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting support@robodesk.net.

7. A note on sensitive topics

RoboDesk includes a privacy-protective routing system: caller speech that appears to touch on especially sensitive topics is automatically routed to a local, non-cloud processing pipeline instead of third-party cloud providers, and any such routing is logged for our own review. This exists to add an extra layer of protection for sensitive conversations, not to avoid recording calls generally (see Section 1 and our Terms of Service on call recording).

8. Contact us

Questions about this policy or your data: support@robodesk.net.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always available at this page. Continued use of the service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
