Steadwell by 1YC

Your mail. Clear information.

This privacy policy explains how Steadwell uses your data and how you can control it.

Effective date: 10 September 2026. App behavior described: release 1.0.

Who provides Steadwell

Steadwell is a product of 1YC, operated by Eamse. Our address is Dankmeijerpad 65, 2333 BR Leiden, the Netherlands. Our Dutch Chamber of Commerce number is 88241874.

Contact support@1yc.dev for privacy, access, correction, or deletion requests. These are the company details published on the 1YC contact page.

Gmail access and its purpose

When you connect Gmail, Google asks you to grant Steadwell the Gmail modify permission. Steadwell uses this permission to read messages, organize mail, and create drafts.

Steadwell does not send email. You review and send saved drafts in Gmail. Google handles sign in; Steadwell does not receive your Google password.

Storage and retention on your Mac

Steadwell stores OAuth credentials in the macOS Keychain. It stores mail metadata, previews, cached bodies, commitments, summaries, draft text, and search data on your Mac.

The reader store normally removes old records after 30 days. It can retain source messages for active commitments for longer. The search index has separate retention and can remain until you remove the local data. Other app records can also remain until removal.

Steadwell does not operate a 1YC server that receives or stores your mailbox. Local diagnostic files can contain identifiers, counts, status information, and error text. The app does not provide 1YC with remote access to your local mail store.

Your Google account retains the original mail and saved Gmail drafts. Your system backups may retain separate copies of local files.

Optional Claude processing

Release 1.0 enables Claude Code detection by default. If Claude Code is already installed, the app can use it without a separate setup step. Review Settings before connecting Gmail. Turn off the Claude connection if you do not want AI processing.

When a Claude connection is available, mail analysis can send content during synchronization. Summaries and reply drafts send content when you request them.

These features send selected subjects, sender details, dates, previews, message text, conversation text, and recent sent messages to Anthropic. Sent messages can serve as writing examples for reply drafts. Anthropic returns analysis, summaries, or draft text.

The app supports an Anthropic API key and the local Claude Code command. Both send content to external servers. Anthropic’s account terms, retention rules, and privacy controls apply. Claude Code can also retain local transcripts outside Steadwell’s data folder.

Use an account that excludes your Gmail data from general model training. Do not enable Anthropic model improvement or share mail through provider feedback controls.

Review Claude Code data use, API data retention, and Claude privacy settings before connecting.

Sharing and permitted use

The app communicates with Google to read mail and perform mailbox actions. Enabled Claude features share the content described above with Anthropic to provide those features.

1YC does not sell Google user data. It does not use Google user data for advertising, credit decisions, or surveillance. It does not use Google Workspace data to train or improve a general artificial intelligence model.

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

Access, withdrawal, and deletion

You can stop using AI and disconnect Gmail through Steadwell Settings. You can revoke the Google grant on your Google Account connections page.

In release 1.0, disconnecting removes OAuth credentials but leaves local mail records. To remove these records, disconnect your accounts, quit Steadwell, and remove its local data folder. The support page gives the full steps and their effects.

Removing the app’s mail stores does not delete Gmail messages, Gmail drafts, exported Calendar or Reminders items, system backups, or macOS diagnostic logs. Claude transcripts and Anthropic server records need separate provider controls.

Contact support@1yc.dev for help with your request. We cannot remotely remove files from your Mac. We can explain the steps and address records that 1YC holds, such as support correspondence.
