Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Overview

Atlas is a personal AI advisor built for students. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what we do not do with it. We have kept this short and plain on purpose.

Atlas is built and operated by Phillip Walsh. Questions: walsh.jphillip@gmail.com.

What we collect

When you set up Atlas, you provide:

  • Profile information — your name, school, major, career goal, interests, and location. Used to personalize every response Atlas gives you.
  • Conversation history — the last 10 messages between you and Atlas, used so Atlas can follow context across a conversation.
  • Watchlists, reminders, and alerts — tickers you're tracking, reminders you've set, and price alerts you've configured.
  • Application and contact data — job applications and networking contacts you choose to log inside Atlas.
  • Your Telegram user ID — used to identify your account and deliver messages to you. We never see your phone number or Telegram password.

Google integration — Gmail and Calendar

Connecting Google is entirely optional. Atlas works fully without it. If you choose to connect, here is exactly what happens and does not happen:

Gmail

✓ Does: Save email drafts to your Gmail Drafts folder when you ask Atlas to write an email.

✗ Does not: Read your inbox or any existing emails.

✗ Does not: Send emails on your behalf. Every draft requires you to open it and click Send yourself.

✗ Does not: Access your contacts, attachments, or any account data beyond creating new drafts.

Google Calendar

✓ Does: Create calendar events when you ask Atlas to schedule something.

✓ Does: Read upcoming events only to avoid scheduling conflicts when you ask for a new event.

✗ Does not: Delete events, share your calendar, or access calendar data unrelated to something you've specifically asked Atlas to do.

You can revoke Google access at any time from your Google account settings. Disconnecting Google does not delete your Atlas profile.

How we use your data

Everything collected is used for one purpose: making Atlas more useful to you.

  • Your profile personalizes market briefs, email drafts, interview prep, and all other outputs.
  • Conversation history lets Atlas remember context within a session.
  • Watchlists and alerts are used to monitor prices and notify you when conditions are met.
  • Application and contact data powers the tracker and reminds you of follow-ups.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell your data. Ever. To anyone.
  • We do not share your data with third parties, advertisers, or data brokers.
  • We do not use your data to train AI models. Your conversations are not used to improve any model.
  • We do not show you ads. Atlas has no advertising model.

Data storage and security

Your data is stored in Supabase, a secure cloud database. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Row-level security is enabled — your data is accessible only to your account.

Atlas uses Anthropic's Claude API for AI responses. Anthropic does not use API messages to train models by default. See Anthropic's privacy policy.

Deleting your data

  • Clear memory facts: Message Atlas and say "clear my memory."
  • Full account deletion: Email walsh.jphillip@gmail.com and your profile and all associated data will be permanently deleted within 7 days.

Changes to this policy

If we make significant changes, we will notify active users through Atlas itself. The date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent update.
