Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 19, 2026

App: Hermes: AI Daily Brief (iOS) — bundle identifier com.marcusmattier.hermes

Developer: Marcus Mattier

Contact: supporthermesherald@gmail.com

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Hermes: AI Daily Brief (“Hermes,” “the App,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Hermes is built on a simple principle: your personal data stays on your device wherever possible. When data must leave your device to power AI features, it is transmitted in anonymized summary form over encrypted connections and is never sold or shared with advertisers.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Your name — entered during onboarding, used to personalise your brief.
• Home and work addresses — used locally on your device to calculate commute times and auto-trigger briefs based on location; never transmitted to external servers.
• Preferences and settings — brief timing, interests, diet type, voice selection, language; stored locally on your device.

2.2 Health Data (HealthKit)

With your permission, Hermes reads the following from Apple HealthKit:

• Sleep duration
• Step count
• Resting heart rate
• Active calories burned
• Workout summaries (type, duration, calories)
• Activity summary (your Apple Activity Ring progress — Move, Exercise, and Stand, including exercise minutes and stand hours)

Hermes does not write to HealthKit or access clinical health records. You can revoke this access at any time via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Hermes.

2.3 Calendar and Reminders

With your permission, Hermes reads your calendar events and reminders to surface upcoming meetings and tasks in your brief. This data is processed on your device. Event titles and attendee counts may be sent to our AI processing service in anonymized form to generate meeting summaries.

2.4 Email (Gmail and Microsoft Outlook)

With your permission, Hermes connects to your Gmail or Outlook account via official OAuth2 APIs. We access:

• Email sender names and addresses
• Email subjects
• Email body previews (up to approximately 200 characters)

This data is used solely to surface relevant emails in your brief and to generate smart reply drafts. Email metadata is transmitted to our AI processing service for this purpose. Hermes never reads full email bodies, sends emails on your behalf, or stores email content beyond your active session.

2.5 Slack

With your permission, Hermes connects to your Slack workspace to surface relevant messages in your brief. We access message previews and sender names. Hermes never posts messages, reactions, or replies on your behalf without your explicit action.

2.6 Location

With your permission, Hermes uses your device’s location to:

• Automatically trigger your morning brief when you arrive at the office
• Automatically trigger your evening brief when you arrive home
• Provide accurate local weather data

Your precise location coordinates are processed entirely on your device and are never transmitted to any external server. Weather is fetched using only your general geographic region (city-level).

2.7 Voice and Microphone

With your permission, Hermes uses your microphone to listen for hands-free voice commands during brief playback (“continue,” “stop,” “read drafts”). Voice input is processed locally on your device using Apple’s on-device speech recognition. Audio is not recorded or stored.

2.8 Automatically Collected Information

• Device information — iOS version and device model, used solely for compatibility.
• App usage data — brief generation timestamps and feature usage patterns, stored locally on your device only.
• Subscription status — verified through Apple’s StoreKit 2 framework; we do not store payment information.
• Anonymous diagnostic data — see Section 2.10 below for what we collect, what we do not collect, and how to opt out.

2.9 Background Proactive Alerts

When Proactive Smart Alerts are enabled, Hermes periodically checks in the background for conditions that may require your attention:

• Imminent calendar events within 45 minutes
• Significant market movements of 1.5% or greater
• Severe weather events for your location

Alert summaries may appear on your lock screen and in Notification Center. Event titles displayed in notifications are limited to 40 characters.

2.10 Anonymous Diagnostic Data

Starting with version 1.6.0, Hermes collects a small amount of anonymous diagnostic data to help us understand how the app is used and to fix problems. This data is transmitted over HTTPS to a Cloudflare Worker that we operate at hermes-proxy.marcusmattier.workers.dev.

What we collect:

• Onboarding funnel events (which step you reached, which persona you chose)
• Brief engagement events (started, completed, paused, skipped a section, voice command used)
• Integration health events (which provider connected, and a numeric HTTP status code if a connection failed)
• Feature-use signals (assistant query asked, widget tapped — counts only, never content)
• A daily heartbeat indicating the app was opened that day
• An anonymous installation identifier (a randomly-generated UUID stored in your device’s Keychain). This identifier is not linked to your name, email, Apple ID, or any other identifier, and is wiped if you uninstall the app.

What we do NOT collect: We never send your name, email address, calendar event titles, message content, transcript text, health values, location coordinates, response bodies from any third-party API, or any other content from your day. Event properties are limited to short enumerated strings, booleans, and integers, and are filtered by a strict allow-list before transmission.

Legal basis (EU/UK users): We process this data on the basis of our legitimate interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) in maintaining and improving the app. You may object to this processing at any time by disabling Diagnostics in Settings, which immediately stops collection and purges any locally buffered events.

California users (CCPA/CPRA): We do not sell or share this data. Cloudflare acts solely as a processor under our instructions and does not access the event content for its own purposes.

How to opt out: Open Settings inside Hermes and toggle off the Diagnostics → Share anonymous usage data switch. The change takes effect immediately.

2.11 Brief Interaction History (On-Device Only)

To avoid repeating information you’ve already handled, Hermes maintains a record of how you interact with your brief. This record includes:

• Which items have been read aloud to you and how many times.
• Which items you have marked as done, dismissed, or asked Hermes to remind you about later.

A short journal of your interactions with Hermes. This includes structured events (for example, “you asked Hermes to remind you about laundry at 6:30pm”) and, at the end of evening briefs, verbal responses to Hermes’s reflection prompt (“Anything you want me to remember from today?”). If you respond verbally to that prompt, your spoken response is transcribed on-device, encrypted with AES-GCM, and written to your local Hermes Memory. These reflection transcripts never leave your device EXCEPT when the Agentic Brief Composer (see Section 4.1) is enabled, in which case journal entries — including reflection transcripts — are sent to Anthropic Claude during brief generation as described in Section 4.1. Decline phrases (“no,” “nothing,” “skip,” “not really”) short-circuit before any transcript is written.

The journal also captures meal planning events (which weeks you planned, which meals you swapped or skipped) so the suggestion engine can avoid proposing the same meals in consecutive weeks. These entries are encrypted on your device and are NOT transmitted to Anthropic with the weekly suggestion prompt — only the meal names from the prior one to two weeks are sent (see Section 4.1, Weekly Meal Planning).

This history is stored only on your device, encrypted at rest, and is never sent to our servers, our analytics, or any third party. We cap storage at 500 recent item-state records and 1,000 journal entries, with the oldest entries removed first. Handled and dismissed items expire automatically after 7 days; journal entries expire after 90 days. You can clear this history by uninstalling the app or by disconnecting your linked accounts in Settings.

On-device follow-ups (Apple Intelligence). On devices that support Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and later) running iOS 26 or later, when Hermes Remembers is enabled, Hermes uses Apple’s on-device Foundation Models framework (see Section 4.9) to review the prior day’s journal entries and decide whether to surface a single follow-up at the top of your morning brief — for example, “Yesterday you said you’d send the deck — did that go out?” Hermes also uses the same on-device Apple Intelligence model to scan the brief’s already-fetched email previews to find commitments you said you would do (for example, “I’ll send the deck by Friday”). Email previews are read only on your device; nothing about the email — sender, subject, body, message identifier, or extracted commitment — is transmitted to our servers, to Anthropic, to Apple, or to any other third party as a result of this feature. The model is grounded to ignore commitments quoted from other senders so that only commitments you authored are surfaced. You can mark the item done or push it to today directly from the brief. This processing happens entirely on your device; no journal entries, email previews, follow-up text, or derived classifications are sent to our servers, to Anthropic, to Apple, or to any other third party. If Hermes Remembers is turned off, if your device does not support Apple Intelligence, or if the on-device model is unavailable, this feature does nothing and your brief is unaffected. Whether a follow-up was shown, and whether you marked it done or pushed it to today, may be included in the anonymous diagnostic signals described in Section 2.10 (counts only — never your journal text, the follow-up wording, or any item content).

2.12 Siri and App Shortcuts

Hermes provides Siri voice shortcuts and App Shortcuts that let you trigger Hermes actions hands-free — for example, “Start my morning brief,” “Ask Hermes…,” “What’s my next event?,” “How’s my energy?,” or “Add an item to my grocery list.” When you invoke one of these shortcuts:

• Siri (operated by Apple) performs the voice recognition and passes the recognized text or parameters to Hermes. This voice processing is governed by Apple’s privacy policy; Hermes does not record, store, or transmit your raw audio.
• Any free text you dictate to the “Ask Hermes” shortcut is processed through the same AI pipeline described in Section 4.1. In single-shot mode your question is sent as an anonymized request to our encrypted Anthropic proxy to generate an answer and is not retained after the request completes. In conversational mode, prior turns of the current conversation are also sent on each follow-up so Hermes can answer in context, as described in Section 4.1 under “Conversational Ask Hermes”; conversation history is kept only in memory for the duration of the session and is cleared when you end or leave the conversation.
• Shortcuts that read your calendar (“next event”) or health (“energy score”) surface the same on-device data already described in Sections 2.2 and 2.3. No new categories of personal data are collected.
• Shortcuts that add grocery items store the item text locally on your device only.
• Which shortcut you run and how often may be included in the anonymous diagnostic signals described in Section 2.10 (counts only — never the content of your questions or items).

You can disable these shortcuts at any time via iOS Settings → Siri & Search → Hermes, or by removing them from the Shortcuts app.

2.13 Proactive Notifications

With your permission, Hermes may send you proactive local notifications — brief, quiet reminders that appear on your lock screen and in Notification Center without you opening the app first. These notifications are generated and scheduled entirely on your device. No notification content is transmitted to our servers, to Anthropic, to Apple, to Murf, or to any other third party as a result of this feature.

Proactive notifications fall into two classes:

• Calendar and Slack interrupts. When Proactive Suggestions are enabled, Hermes may surface a short reminder roughly five minutes before a calendar event you have not yet prepared for (see Section 2.3), or when a Slack direct message or @-mention has gone unread past a quiet threshold (see Section 2.5). Calendar interrupts are pre-scheduled on your device using iOS’s standard local-notification system; Slack interrupts are computed on your device during the background token-refresh window already disclosed in Section 4.6.
• Commitment nudges. When both Proactive Suggestions and Hermes Remembers are enabled and you turn on Commitment Nudges (see controls below), Hermes may schedule a single quiet reminder for a commitment it has tracked from your own writing — for example, a journal entry where you said you’d send a deck Friday. Commitment nudges currently push only commitments Hermes extracted from your own journal entries, not commitments extracted from email previews. Email-derived commitments remain visible inside the app under Settings → Chief of Staff → Things Hermes Is Tracking, but they will not generate a lock-screen notification in this version of the app. Commitment extraction itself runs entirely on your device via Apple’s on-device Foundation Models framework (see Section 4.9).

Controls. Commitment Nudges are off by default and require an explicit opt-in: you turn them on either from the “What’s New” card on first launch after updating, or from Settings → Chief of Staff → Commitment nudges. Calendar and Slack interrupts inherit the existing Proactive Suggestions master toggle. All proactive notifications — commitment nudges, calendar interrupts, and Slack interrupts — are governed by the same on-device limits: your quiet-hours window, a daily cap on total proactive notifications, hourly spacing, and a dedicated per-kind daily allowance for commitment nudges specifically. You can disable all proactive notifications by turning off Proactive Suggestions under Settings → Chief of Staff, by turning off Hermes Remembers, by toggling Commitment Nudges off individually, or by disabling notification permission for Hermes in iOS Settings → Notifications → Hermes.

On-device handling of actions. When you tap a commitment nudge or use its Mark done / Snooze action, the action is recorded entirely on your device against the build-2.2 follow-up tracking surface described in Section 2.11. Nothing about the commitment text, the notification body, or the action you took is transmitted to our servers, to Anthropic, to Apple, or to any other third party. Whether a nudge was scheduled, fired, tapped, or suppressed, and the reason for suppression, may be included in the anonymous diagnostic signals described in Section 2.10 (counts only and short enumerated reason tokens such as “quiet_hours” or “daily_cap” — never the commitment text, the notification body, or any item content).

2.14 Supplement Reminders

With your permission, Hermes lets you record supplements and vitamins you take — including a name (for example, “vitamin D” or “omega-3”), an optional amount or notes field, and the times and days of the week you want to be reminded. Hermes uses this information to schedule quiet reminders on your device and to surface a short list (for example, “This morning: vitamin D, omega-3.”) at the matching point in your morning or evening brief.

On-device only. The supplement name, optional amount/notes text, reminder schedule, and your taken/skipped history are stored on your device only, in the same AES-GCM-encrypted preferences and journal blobs used for the rest of your settings (see Section 5). This data is never transmitted to our servers, to Anthropic, to Apple, to Murf, or to any other third party. Hermes does not include supplement names, amounts, or any taken/skipped item content in the context bundle sent to Anthropic for brief composition (see Section 4.1); the on-device journal kinds that record taken/skipped events are explicitly excluded from that pipeline.

How reminders are delivered. Reminders fire via standard iOS local notifications scheduled by your device. The supplement’s name appears in the notification body (for example, “Time for your vitamin D”) because you need to know which supplement the reminder is for. This means the supplement name can appear on your lock screen, subject to your iOS notification-preview setting: if you have set iOS Settings → Notifications → Show Previews to “When Unlocked” or “Never,” the name is hidden until you unlock the device. You can also adjust this per-app under iOS Settings → Notifications → Hermes → Show Previews. iOS may delay or coalesce local notifications under Low Power Mode, Focus, or system load — treat these reminders as a convenience, not a guarantee.

Not for prescription medications. This feature is for vitamins and supplements only. It is not intended for managing prescription medications and is not medical advice. Hermes does not interpret or validate what you enter, does not warn about dosing, interactions, or contraindications, and does not recommend any supplement. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical questions.

Diagnostics. Whether a reminder was scheduled, fired, tapped, marked taken, or marked skipped — and a coarse time-of-day bucket (for example, “morning,” “evening”) and a coarse count bucket — may be included in the anonymous diagnostic signals described in Section 2.10. Supplement names, amounts/notes text, notification body text, and any other content you enter are never included in diagnostics.

Controls and deletion. You can add, edit, or remove supplements at any time under Settings → Supplements & Vitamins; removing a supplement immediately cancels its pending reminders on your device. You can delete all locally stored Hermes data — including all supplements, schedules, and taken/skipped history — at any time via Settings → Privacy & Security → Delete All Hermes Data. (Note: in this version, the more limited “Clear Hermes History” action removes your brief interaction history and journal entries but does not yet remove your supplement list itself; a future update will extend that action to supplements as well. “Delete All Hermes Data” removes everything today.)

3. How We Use Your Information

4. AI Processing and Third-Party Services

Hermes uses the following third-party services to deliver its features:

4.1 Anthropic (Claude API)

AI-generated content in your brief — including health insights, habit coaching, email reply drafts, meal suggestions, weekly recaps, and the AI assistant — is powered by Anthropic’s Claude API. Data sent to Anthropic is transmitted via our encrypted proxy server and consists of anonymized summaries only (e.g., “average sleep: 7.2 hours,” “3 meetings today”). Raw personal data, full email bodies, and HealthKit records are never sent. Anthropic’s privacy policy is available at anthropic.com/privacy.

Proactive Suggestions (added in v1.7.7): Hermes also uses Claude to occasionally suggest specific time blocks for items you may have forgotten to act on — for example, a reminder that’s been on your list for several days. At the end of each brief, Hermes sends Claude a small context bundle containing: your first name, your remaining calendar events for the day, your typical meal window, your commute estimate as a number of minutes (not the addresses themselves), today’s weather summary, and short previews (up to 120 characters) of looming items. Claude returns at most one suggestion per brief, which Hermes then reads aloud using on-device speech synthesis. You can turn this off in Settings → Chief of Staff → Proactive Suggestions.

Agentic Brief Composition (added in v1.7.7): Beginning with build 135, Hermes uses Claude to compose brief narrative connectors — short conversational sentences that reference your cross-section state (for example, “you haven’t sent Sarah the deck yet”). To produce these, we transmit to Anthropic via our encrypted proxy: (a) the structured summary the brief is about to speak aloud, (b) up to seven days of journal entries from your local Hermes Memory, which may include reflection-prompt transcripts you provided verbally at the end of evening briefs, and (c) gate transparency counters showing how many times Hermes considered staying silent that day. Anthropic processes this content under its zero-retention API contract for the duration of the request only. We do not store these prompts on any Hermes server. You can disable this composer entirely by turning off “Proactive Suggestions” in Settings → Chief of Staff, or by clearing your Hermes Memory in Settings → Privacy & Security.

Weekly Meal Planning (added in v2.0): Beginning with the v2.0 release, Hermes uses Claude to suggest a week of meals and consolidate the resulting grocery list. To produce these, we transmit to Anthropic via our encrypted proxy: (a) your dietary preferences (e.g., omnivore, vegan, keto), (b) any allergens or dislikes you have entered, (c) your selected mood for the week (e.g., “quick weeknight meals,” “health-focused”), (d) the relative density of your calendar for each day of the week (counts only, never event titles), and (e) the names of meals you selected during the prior one to two weeks so the suggestion engine can avoid exact repeats. Anthropic processes this content under its zero-retention API contract for the duration of the request only. We do not store these prompts on any Hermes server. You can opt out by skipping the meal planning feature — it is opt-in from the Meals tab, never invoked automatically.

Conversational Ask Hermes (added in v2.2): When you use the conversational mode of Ask Hermes, your follow-up questions are answered in context. To do this, Hermes sends the prior turns of the current conversation — your earlier questions and Hermes’s earlier answers, which may reference information already gathered for your brief — alongside your next question through the same encrypted Anthropic proxy described above. The conversation history is bounded (most recent turns only, capped in size), is kept only in memory for the duration of the session, is cleared when you end or leave the conversation, and is not retained on Hermes’s servers or written to your device’s storage. Anthropic processes this content under its zero-retention API contract for the duration of the request only.

4.2 Murf AI (Text-to-Speech)

If you select a Murf voice for brief narration, the text of your brief is sent to Murf’s API to generate audio. The text contains the content of your brief (weather, news headlines, calendar summaries, etc.) but does not include raw health records or full email content. The brief content sent to Murf may include short previews of items from your connected accounts when those items are being read aloud — specifically: email subject lines and short body previews from Gmail and Outlook, and direct message previews and @-mention previews from Slack. Each preview is limited to approximately 80 characters. Hermes never sends full message bodies, attachments, or content from items you have not connected to your brief. Murf’s privacy policy is available at murf.ai/privacy-policy.

4.3 Apple HealthKit

Health data is accessed through Apple’s HealthKit framework, in accordance with Apple’s HealthKit guidelines. Apple’s privacy policy is available at apple.com/privacy.

4.4 Google (Gmail API)

Email data is accessed through Google’s official Gmail API via OAuth2. The scopes requested are https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly (read-only access to your Gmail messages and metadata) and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email (your Google account email address, used to label connected accounts and detect token problems). Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

For uninterrupted service, Hermes periodically issues a lightweight authenticated request (typically every 7 days) to Google’s user profile endpoint to keep your connection alive. This request retrieves no message content and exists solely to prevent Google’s automatic revocation of long-idle authentication tokens. The request is performed in the background using iOS background app refresh and respects all standard iOS battery and data settings.

4.5 Microsoft (Outlook / Microsoft Graph API)

Outlook email and calendar data is accessed through Microsoft’s Graph API via OAuth2. Microsoft’s privacy policy is available at privacy.microsoft.com.

Hermes performs a periodic background request (typically every 7 days) to Microsoft Graph’s user profile endpoint to keep your authentication tokens active. This request retrieves no email or calendar content and is used only to prevent automatic disconnection due to inactivity.

4.6 Slack API

Slack message data is accessed through Slack’s official API via OAuth2. Slack’s privacy policy is available at slack.com/privacy-policy.

Hermes performs a periodic background request (typically every 7 days) to Slack’s authentication-test endpoint to verify your token remains valid. This request retrieves no message content and is used only to prevent automatic disconnection due to inactivity.

4.7 Open-Meteo (Weather)

Weather data is fetched from Open-Meteo using your approximate geographic region (city-level). No personally identifiable information is sent. Open-Meteo’s privacy policy is available at open-meteo.com.

4.8 CoinGecko (Market Data)

Cryptocurrency price data is fetched from CoinGecko’s public API. Only the requested ticker symbols are transmitted; no personally identifiable information is sent. CoinGecko’s privacy policy is available at coingecko.com/en/privacy.

4.9 Apple Foundation Models (iOS 26+)

On devices that support Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro and later) running iOS 26 or later, Hermes may use Apple’s on-device Foundation Models framework for three purposes: (1) brief narrative synthesis, (2) reviewing the prior day’s on-device journal entries to decide whether to surface a single follow-up at the top of your morning brief, and (3) scanning the brief’s already-fetched email previews on-device to find commitments you said you would do (see Section 2.11 for details and controls). In all cases this processing occurs entirely on your device and no data — including journal entries, follow-up text, or derived classifications — is transmitted to any external server, to us, to Anthropic, to Apple, or to any other third party. Apple’s privacy policy is available at apple.com/privacy.

5. Data Storage and Security

• On-device storage: Your preferences, calendar data, health flags, AI memory entries, and brief history are stored locally on your device in encrypted form.
• Keychain: OAuth tokens (Gmail, Outlook, Slack) and API keys are stored in the iOS Keychain with device-only protection and are never backed up to iCloud.
• No cloud database: Hermes does not operate its own cloud database. We do not store your personal data on our servers.
• Proxy server: AI requests are routed through our encrypted Cloudflare proxy server solely to protect our API credentials. This server does not log or store the content of your requests beyond the immediate processing window.
• Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between the App and external services is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS.

Live Activities: When enabled, Hermes uses iOS Live Activities to display two kinds of information on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island:

• Brief status: a summary of your current brief — including your next event title, energy score, and a market ticker — shown while a brief is active.
• Follow-through countdowns (added in v1.7.7): when you accept a Hermes suggestion to handle a task at a specific time (“yes, remind me at 6:30”), a countdown timer is displayed until that time arrives, along with the task’s preview text and Done, Snooze, and Push-to-tomorrow action buttons.

Live Activity content is drawn from data already held locally on your device and is never transmitted to any external server. The visibility of Live Activity content on your lock screen inherits your iOS “Show Previews” notification setting — if you have previews set to “When Unlocked” or “Never,” Live Activity content is hidden until you unlock your phone.

6. Data Retention

• On-device data is retained until you delete the App or use the “Delete All Hermes Data” option in Settings.
• Brief interaction history (which items you’ve handled, dismissed, or deferred) and the local Hermes journal expire automatically: handled and dismissed items are removed after 7 days; journal entries are removed after 90 days. Storage is also capped at 500 item-state records and 1,000 journal entries, with the oldest entries evicted first.
• OAuth tokens are cleared when you disconnect an integration in Settings or use the data deletion option.
• AI processing requests are not retained by our proxy server beyond the immediate API call.
• Anthropic and Murf process your data according to their own retention policies. Neither is authorised to use your data for training AI models under their standard API agreements.

7. Children’s Privacy

Hermes: AI Daily Brief is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the App, please get in touch with us, and we will take steps to address it.
