Privacy notice

Privacy, without pretending the system sees less—or more—than it does.

Current product policyLast updated August 25, 2026

1. Scope and operator

This notice covers Minerva Advisor, operated by Ready-Market Online Corporation, 3F-1., No. 143, Sec. 1, Keelung Rd., Xinyi Dist., Taipei City 110, Taiwan. It applies when you open Minerva from Gmail, paste or upload content, use the Decision Room, or configure model access.

2. Information Minerva processes

  • Content you intentionally paste, upload, or add to a Decision Project.
  • The currently opened Gmail thread when you explicitly invoke the Gmail add-on. Minerva does not search your mailbox or read other threads automatically.
  • Project data created through the service, including selected sources, model-generated analysis, discussion, decisions, action assignments, and results you report.
  • Your Google or Workspace identity for authentication, owner isolation, and access control.
  • If you choose bring-your-own-key (BYOK), the provider credential you enter and limited status information such as provider, fingerprint, revision, and test time.
  • Operational metadata such as request status, source identifiers, counts, timing, and error class. Source-trace and usage logs are designed not to contain Gmail message bodies, uploaded content, free-form discussion, or API keys.

3. Why the information is used

Minerva uses this information to reconstruct roles and events, distinguish evidence from inference, identify missing context and decision risk, compare options, support human review, maintain the Decision Project you asked it to save, and prepare editable drafts or action plans. It does not send, modify, delete, archive, or label email automatically.

4. Google API data

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

Google user data is used only to provide or improve the user-facing Minerva decision-support functionality. It is not sold, used for advertising, or used to build advertising profiles.

5. Service providers

Minerva currently uses Google Cloud for authenticated hosting, encrypted data storage, key management, and access control, and Anthropic's commercial API for requested model processing. Selected context and instructions may be transmitted to these providers solely to operate the requested service. Their handling is also governed by their applicable commercial, security, and data-processing terms.

If you enable BYOK, Minerva uses that credential only to test access and make the requested model calls. The credential is not placed in URLs, browser storage, analytics events, or project exports.

6. Storage, encryption, and retention

Minerva stores each encrypted Decision Project so you can return to the same context instead of starting over. A project can contain the source content you explicitly selected, analysis, discussion, a confirmed decision, action status, and user-reported results. Project content is protected using authenticated encryption and a wrapped data key, and records are partitioned by the verified owner identity.

A project remains available until you permanently delete it, your account or contracted access is closed, or Ready-Market must remove it for security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, or service operation. The in-product permanent-delete control removes the encrypted project record from the active application database and creates a minimal audit event recording that deletion occurred. You can also archive a project without deleting it or export the complete project as JSON before deletion.

For long Gmail threads, an Apps Script relay may temporarily cache encoded thread context for up to 30 minutes so the user can open the Decision Room. BYOK credentials remain encrypted until you delete or replace them or the related access is terminated. Operational and security logs may retain content-free request metadata according to applicable infrastructure settings; Minerva does not promise a fixed retention period for those logs or minimal audit records.

7. Sharing and human access

Minerva does not sell personal information. Human access to specific customer content is not part of normal operation and should occur only with documented customer approval for support, or when necessary for security, abuse investigation, or legal compliance.

8. Your controls

  • Do not invoke Minerva on a thread you do not want processed, and add other sources only when you want them in the project.
  • Export a project as JSON, archive it, restore it, or permanently delete it from the Decision Room.
  • Delete or replace a saved BYOK credential from Model Access.
  • Uninstall the Gmail add-on or revoke the application's Google access.
  • Ask Ready-Market to investigate account-wide access, deletion, or privacy questions through the support channel below.

9. Security and changes

Minerva uses authenticated access, owner-scoped authorization, least-privilege Gmail access, encryption in transit, authenticated envelope encryption for saved projects and credentials, and separation between the private decision service and this public trust center. No system can guarantee absolute security. Material changes to this notice will be posted here with a revised date.
