Privacy policy

Last updated November 11, 2026

Lathe is a private, invite-only workspace used internally by our team. It is not offered to the public. This policy explains what Lathe does with information, including information from Google accounts that team members choose to connect.

Who can use Lathe

Only people we invite can sign in. Sign-in uses Google, and access is limited to an approved list of team email addresses.

Google data Lathe accesses

When a team member connects their Google account, Lathe asks for:

• Basic profile (name, email address) to sign you in.
• Gmail read access to show your work email conversations inside Lathe, so you can follow up with the people you work with.
• Gmail send access to send emails you have written or approved. Lathe never sends an email without a person approving it first.
• Calendar events to show and create meetings related to your work.

How we use it

• Google data is used only to provide Lathe's features to the person who connected their account and to the team members they work with inside Lathe.
• We do not sell Google data, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone outside our team, except as needed to run the features described here or when required by law.
• Some features use AI assistants to summarise or draft text. When they do, only the content needed for that task is sent, under our team's own AI accounts. Google data is not used to train general AI models.
• People do not read your Google data except with your permission, for security reasons, or when required by law.

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

Storage and security

• Data is stored on our own encrypted computer and in encrypted backups. Google sign-in credentials are stored encrypted.
• Access to Lathe is protected by Google sign-in with two-step verification.

Your choices

• You can disconnect your Google account at any time in Lathe's settings, or from your Google account at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
• You can ask us to delete the data Lathe holds about you by emailing the address below.
